Q&A
I’ve noticed mold and mildew growing on my fence in Orlando’s humid climate. How do you handle this specific issue?
Orlando’s humidity is tough on fences. I tackle fence mold and mildew by first power washing the affected areas with a gentle, eco-friendly cleaning solution to remove all growth. After the wood dries, I apply a high-quality sealer or stain that includes a mildewcide. This weatherproofs the fence and helps prevent future growth, keeping your fence looking clean and lasting longer.
My door is sticking and won’t close properly. Can you repair it without needing a full replacement?
Absolutely. Door repair is one of my specialties. I’ll first diagnose the cause—often it’s swollen wood from humidity, loose hinges, or a shifting frame. I can plane the door, adjust the hinges, or replace weatherstripping to get it working smoothly again. I focus on a precise fit so it operates quietly and seals properly.
What’s included in your furniture assembly service, and do you handle custom builds?
I assemble all types of furniture, from flat-pack bookshelves and bed frames to complex modular systems. I use the right tools and follow instructions carefully to ensure stability and alignment. While I focus on assembly and repair, I can also offer custom repairs for damaged furniture. If you need a specific piece built, let’s discuss your design and I’ll see how I can help.
