The bathroom is one of the areas in the home that gets the most amount of foot traffic. As such, your bathroom is more susceptible to wear and tear than most rooms in the house, which can prompt more frequent remodeling. However, a home improvement project such as a bathroom renovation can be costly. The good news is that you can still spruce up your bathing space without breaking the bank.<\/p>\n

In this blog, Handyman Connection\u00ae of Matthews shares bathroom remodeling ideas for the budget-conscious homeowner.<\/p>\n

Subtle Changes<\/h2>\n

You don\u2019t have to go all-out when remodeling your bathroom. Subtle modifications such as changing the cabinet knobs and faucets can give your bathroom an instant facelift. Fixtures might be small in size (and a lot more wallet-friendly), but they can make a big visual impact when designed properly. You can follow the current trend in bathroom fixtures. You can also stick to time-tested classics like gold or brass and of course, the fool-proof stainless steel.<\/p>\n

Let There Be Lighting<\/h2>\n

Sometimes all it takes is the right lighting to showcase your bathroom\u2019s appeal. Know where to put task lighting, ambient lights, vanity lighting and pendant lights to optimize your bathroom\u2019s existing charms. Keep in mind that the best lighting for a bathroom is cool or bright white, but you can also choose other color temperatures such as soft white or daylight, which has orange hues.<\/p>\n

Tile Upgrade<\/h2>\n

Homeowners today have access to a wide array of elegant yet affordable flooring options for their bathrooms. Take advantage of this variety by choosing a tile that looks expensive but is half the cost.<\/p>\n

Of course, the matter at hand will be a lot easier to accomplish if you have a stud-finding device. However, not every household will have a stud finder in the toolbox. So if you\u2019re looking to hang anything on your wall, whether it\u2019s an open shelf or a rare artwork, but don\u2019t have a stud finder, this article is for you.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Handyman Connection\u00ae of Matthews has compiled a list of ways you can find a wall stud even without a stud finder.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div><!--more--><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/handymanconnection.com\/matthews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/30\/2021\/05\/d3f7ebc4185fedd66a158f6f71b4c349d3bfbed4-915-matthews2.jpg\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dib\"><\/p>\n<h2>What Are Wall Studs?<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Wall studs are a 2-by-4-inch vertical support beam present in every home as part of its structural frame. Since the drywall surface of your wall isn\u2019t designed to support the weight of, say, a flat screen TV, you\u2019ll have to locate a wall stud to ensure that whatever you\u2019ll be hanging up on the wall won\u2019t fall.<\/p>\n<h2>Method 1: Electrical Outlet Method<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Light switches and standard electrical outlets are usually fastened to wall studs. This means that if you can see an electrical outlet, then you\u2019ll most likely be able to locate a wall stud. Remove the outlet or switch cover and inspect the insides to see if you can spot the beams. Once you\u2019ve located the wall stud, simply draw a line from where the stud is all the way up to the mounting height.<\/p>\n<h2>Method 2: Sound Method<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Hesitant about handling electrical outlets? Try the sound method. Tap along your wall and listen until you hear a solid sound. You can start tapping 16 inches from a corner, as that is supposedly a standard measurement for wall stud placement.<\/p>\n<h2>Method 3: Ask a Professional<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Some homes might be built differently, so locating the wall studs might not be as easy as measuring the wall. When finding a wall stud proves to be a tricky task, hiring a professional is the best course of action.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Need help improving your home? Handyman Connection of Matthews can help!

Here are some:<\/p>\n<h3>1. The Color Test<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The easiest way to test your toilet for leaks is to drop a dye tablet or food coloring into the toilet tank. Leave it in for 15 to 20 minutes. Do not use the toilet while waiting. Then, look at the toilet bowl (not the tank). Did the color somehow made it to the toilet? There\u2019s no doubt about it\u2014you have a leaking toilet.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Listen for a hissing or dripping sound.<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">If you don\u2019t have a dye tablet or food coloring readily available and you can\u2019t wait before you can buy on, you can simply listen for any noise coming from your toilet. Can you hear a soft and quiet running water sound? Can you hear a hissing sound? These mean that there are issues in the toilet\u2019s flushing mechanism\u2014either a flapper valve that needs adjusting or a damaged fill valve.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Cut the water off to the toilet in question.<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">If the two other tests failed to determine a leak of you want to be thoroughly sure that a toilet you\u2019re observing is not leaking, here\u2019s the ultimate test. Shut the water off to the toilet in question before you go to sleep. In the morning, check if the water in the tank emptied or if there\u2019s only an inch of water left. If so, then the toilet is leaking. <\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Handyman Connection of Matthews can help you with any plumbing problem that you may have, from leaky toilets to burst pipes.

Your Lifestyle.<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">It\u2019s already been said that the kitchen is one of the busiest rooms in a home, but the question is how busy your kitchen is? Do you often cook a lot in the kitchen, making the floor susceptible to spills? Do kids frequent the area? Answering these questions (and others) are important to determine the kind of floor you need. The busier the kitchen is, the more durable its floor should be. You might also need to consider non-slip floor.<\/p>\n<h2>2. The Kitchen\u2019s Style<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The floor will affect how your kitchen looks in general. It needs to complement the kitchen\u2019s architectural style and overall appeal. Before buying floor material, you need to consider the kitchen\u2019s existing elements and size.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Comfort<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">If you do a lot of work in the kitchen, it\u2019s possible that you do most of the work standing. It\u2019s important to choose a flooring material that won\u2019t add strain to your leg. Wood floors are great for helping reduce leg fatigue.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Ease of Cleaning and Maintenance<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Spills and dirt can make any kitchen floor look untidy and worse, unsafe to walk on. If cleaning is not your favorite task, then you should look for a material that can be cleaned and maintained easily, and is not prone to staining.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Still can\u2019t decide which kind of flooring material to get for your kitchen? Let the pros at Handyman Connection of Matthews help you.

design and styling. When not carefully styled and designed, a small bathroom can look and feel cramped. In this post, Handyman Connection\u00ae of Matthews shares some of the best ways to maximize your small bathroom space.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div><!--more--><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Remove Anything That Sticks Out From the Walls<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">If you have a narrow bathroom, make sure that there\u2019s nothing sticking out from its walls. This means removing the towel bar installed on the wall. Alternatively, you can mount the bar on the back of the door. Decorative shelves may need to go, too. <\/p>\n<h2>Opt for Clear Shower Enclosures<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">To create the illusion of having more space and minimize visual clutter, opt for a clear shower enclosure that has minimal hardware. This will prevent the creation of visual division, so you can see the bathroom in its entirety.<\/p>\n<h2>Maximize Every Available Nook for Storage<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">If you want your bathroom to have storage for must-haves such as toiletries, towels, toilet paper and the like, you have to maximize every nook to create storage. Some of the wasted spaces in a bathroom include the vertical space above the toilet tank, as well as the space beneath the sink and behind the door.<\/p>\n<h2>Choose a Small Vanity<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">If you want to add a vanity in your small bathroom, it\u2019s important that you choose the smallest one available. You may also go for a simple pedestal or wall-mounted sink.<\/p>\n<h2>Install Floor Tiles Diagonally<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Installing floor tiles diagonally will make the bathroom look bigger, thanks to optical illusion. <\/p>\n<h2>Use Only Two Paint Colors<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Limit yourself to two paint colors to keep the bathroom from looking too busy. This also applies to wallpaper, rugs, window treatments and other accessories.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Need help deciding how to design your small bathroom and ensuring that all improvements and updates are done properly?

surveyed regarding their recent or planned kitchen renovation projects. Among the most notable findings in the study involved respondents aged 55 or older. Handyman Connection of Matthews, your local experts in home maintenance, discusses more.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div><!--more--><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2><strong>Aging in Place in Larger Kitchens<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">About 52% of renovating homeowners today are baby boomers, or those aged 55 or older, with almost seven in ten looking to remain in their homes for the next ten years or so. The study, however, showed that only 37% of them address the needs of aging household members during kitchen renovations.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">This is in stark contrast to the 56% who address such needs during master bathroom renovations. Surprisingly, one in five people belonging in younger generations gets to address aging-in-place kitchen needs.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">About 28% of the baby boomers address current aging-related needs during kitchen renovation; only 10% address future needs. Within that 28%, more than half of them reacted to the needs that arose two years ago.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Addressing Seniors’ Needs for Kitchen Renovations<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Addressing aging-in-place needs in kitchen renovations means opening up the whole space for more accessibility. In fact, nearly half of those addressing aging make their kitchens more open to nearby rooms and more than a third wanted to expand these spaces.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Major upgrades are also important for baby boomers. According to the study, they want their kitchens to be equipped with elaborate lighting inside cabinets, appliances like cooktops and wall ovens, pull-out pantries, natural stone flooring and touch-only faucets.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">At Handyman Connection of Matthews, we recognize that many senior homeowners would prefer to age in place rather than move to senior housing. To help them reach their goal, we offer a variety of installation and remodeling services that can help them remain in their own homes as they age, and do so safely, independently and comfortably.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">To discuss your aging-in-place kitchen remodeling plans with us, call (704) 255-5626.

Both have adhesive properties, but they differ in a lot of ways. Read on as Handyman Connection of Matthews, your local home improvement pros, explains the differences between the two in today\u2019s post.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div><!--more--><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2><strong>Different Properties and Packaging<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Grout comes in dry powder form stored in bags. For it to become an adhesive, it is mixed with water, which becomes hard as a rock when cured. Caulk, meanwhile, comes in tubes and is semi-liquid in form. Made from latex, silicone or acrylic, it also requires curing but still retains a degree of flexibility, allowing it to stretch with any slight movement.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Different Usage<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The grout-water mixture is used to fill the spaces between the tiles that have been glued into place on a floor or wall. Hardened grout prevents the tiles from shifting and also provides the edges protection from chipping. Caulk, meanwhile, acts as a waterproof seal for areas next to the toilet bowl, sink, bathtub or showerhead. Given how stickier it is than grout, it can easily adhere to any kind of material, whether it is drywall, porcelain, glass or wood.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Different Applications<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Grout is a must-have in bathroom tile installations. Not only is it porous, but it binds well with the backer board or the concrete material placed behind the tiles. Combine them together and you have a waterproof masonry surface that prevents the entry of moisture in the wall studs. Caulk, however, is a versatile product used in a variety of applications around the home. It seals seams along baseboards and crown molding, on windows to stop drafts, or anywhere two building materials meet.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">For your home improvement and maintenance needs, turn to Handyman Connection of Matthews.

This is because vinyl fences are some of the most affordable, easy to install and most durable options available. However, you can only reap the benefits of your vinyl fence\u2019s durability and low cost if you properly maintain it. After all, a fence that isn\u2019t properly taken care of can easily break, and despite its low cost, what you spend on it can easily skyrocket if you have to keep repairing your current fence or installing a new one more often than you should. Luckily, there are easy ways to maintain your fence.<\/p>\n<p>In this post, Handyman Connection\u00ae of Matthews discusses tips on how you can care for your home\u2019s vinyl fence.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cleaning<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Regular cleaning is one of the simplest and best ways you can maintain your vinyl fence. Most of the dirt can be washed away with a simple mixture of mild soap and water and heavier stains on the fence can be cleared with any non-toxic household cleaning solution. Sometimes, a good cleaning can be the solution to some of your fencing maintenance needs and can even make an aged fence appear as good as new.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Oiling the Gate Hinges<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Another simple maintenance step you can perform on your vinyl fence is oiling the gate hinges. Since the weather can cause your gate\u2019s hinges to rust and the screws to loosen, oiling the hinges and tightening the screws regularly can ensure your gate will smoothly and quietly operate.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Adjusting The Gate<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In order to maximize your fence\u2019s life span, take steps to adjust your gate every spring. These adjustments and leveling are normal when you own a fence. If you lack the time or expertise, on the other hand, hiring a professional like Handyman Connection of Matthews is always a viable option.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prevent Swinging<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Despite its durability, a wildly swinging fence gate can still cause damage to your vinyl fence when it collides with the rest of the fence. That\u2019s why it\u2019s vital that you secure your fence\u2019s gate with a latch or a lock, especially during a storm or on any windy day. Remind your kids not to play on the fence, particularly the gate.<\/p>\n<p>Turn to Handyman Connection of Matthews for your home improvement needs.

4 Ways You Can Stop Ants From Nesting in Your Gutters"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>The gutter is a vital part of any home; it catches the rainwater coming from your roof to prevent water leaks and redirects that water away from your home to prevent foundation and landscape damage. With that in mind, it\u2019s important that you keep your gutters in check and free of anything that may obstruct their performance. Unmaintained gutters can invite little animals and insects to take up residence in your home; ants are a good example.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div><!--more--><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In this post, Handyman Connection\u00ae of Matthews discusses the four ways you can prevent ants from nesting in the gutters of your home.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Clean Your Gutters –<\/strong> Cleaning your gutters is one of the surefire ways to prevent your gutters from being invaded by ants. Remove all kinds of dirt and debris such as leaves and twigs from your gutters since these create the mush that ants love.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Use Gutter Guards –<\/strong> On the other hand, if you lack the time to clean your gutter system, there\u2019s always the option of installing gutter guards. That way, there\u2019s little chance of any debris being stuck on the gutters.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Trim Your Trees – <\/strong>Any overgrown trees or bushes can be used by ants as a highway to get into your home. Therefore, it\u2019s vital that you trim your trees and bushes to keep them away from the roof line or gutters and prevent them from accessing it entirely. If you don\u2019t have time to do so, you can always hire the services of professionals to get the job done for you.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Use Bait –<\/strong> Once you notice ants venturing out in search of food and water, you can use specialized bait products around your home to get rid of them once and for all. While you\u2019re letting the bait do its job, you can head up to your gutters and get rid of any nests the ants managed to create in the meantime.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Turn to Handyman Connection of Matthews for your home remodeling needs.
