It\u2019s normal to feel worried when you notice water stains on your wall or ceiling. These could potentially mean a leak, and sometimes finding its source can be a little tricky. Of course, identifying the origin is critical in fixing the issue and permanently getting rid of the water stains. You might want to have a professional handle this for you.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

However, if you wish to carry out the task of water stain removal, Handyman Connection\u00ae of Winter Park has some tips for you.<\/p>\n

Removing Stains<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Water stains may appear black, gray, greenish or whitish, depending on the cause of the problem. When removing these stains, the first thing that you have to do is to ensure that the stain is completely dry. You can use fans, heat guns or hair dryers to dry the stain. Afterwards, check for any signs of fungus. Generally, these can be removed by scrubbing the wall with bleach or white vinegar and a soft brush. If the mold is persistent, you may need to take extra measures to ensure a thorough clean. Make sure to dry the area before proceeding with other work.<\/p>\n

Finishing Touches<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Once the stains, mold, or fungus is gone, you can start repainting the surface for a more polished finish. You can opt for damp-proof paint if the area is prone to this kind of problem, such as bathroom and kitchen walls. Ensure that the paintwork is done carefully, with the first coat plain white and waterproof. Let the first coat dry before applying the toner mix and additional layers. If you want to further protect your walls from moisture, you can use a waterproof latex coating on top of the finished paintwork.<\/p>\n

Deal With Water Stains ASAP<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Ignoring the problem for a long period can cause irreparable damage to the ceiling, which will likely require the replacement of the damaged section. That\u2019s why you should deal with water stains as soon as possible. Make sure to address the source of the water stains as well.<\/p>\n

Consider adding baby corner guards to prevent cuts, scrapes, and other accidents.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Fence Off Hazardous Areas<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Keep your baby from reaching accident-prone areas like the stairs by installing safety gates. You might want to opt for those that are actually bolted to the wall since they’re more secure and stable than pressure gates.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Use Door Stops<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">These can prevent your baby from pinching their fingers by doors that often swing open and close.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Cover Electric Outlets<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Use baby-safe plugs to cover all unused outlets, and always check for appliances that are currently not in use and can be unplugged until you need them.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Reorganize Your Kitchen Storage<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Ensure that dangerous items like cutlery, glass and heavy pots and pans are out of your baby’s or toddler’s reach. Don’t forget to keep chemical cleaners in a safe space too. If putting these things in a higher cabinet is not possible, you can opt for drawer and cabinet safety locks instead.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Check Your Water Heater<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Adjust your water heater, and keep the temperature at a comfortable warm level to avoid burning your child’s skin. Experts typically recommend setting the temperature at 120 degrees or lower.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">With its expertise in various home improvement jobs, Handyman Connection of Winter Park can ensure top-notch craftsmanship.

Quick Tips on How to Brighten Up a Dark Kitchen"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Adequate lighting is important to have in your kitchen. Keep in mind that this room is where you will be doing a lot of chopping, slicing and cooking. Having a dimly lit or dark kitchen can be a safety hazard, so you should strive to keep it as bright as possible. Here are some tips from Handyman Connection\u00ae of Winter Park on how you can brighten up your dark kitchen.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div><!--more--><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2><strong>Use Brighter Bulbs<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">For the kitchen, experts usually recommend bulbs that are at least 80 to 100 watts. So if the bulbs in your kitchen are 60 watts or below, you might want to switch to brighter light bulbs.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Install Under-Cabinet Lights<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Set up some lights under your cabinets if you have a dark and cramped kitchen. You can use fluorescent light bars, LED light bars or puck lights for your under-the-cabinet lighting.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Hang a Mirror<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Mirrors are among the oldest tricks that you can use to create an illusion of more light and space. Although mirrors may not really be necessary in your kitchen, consider adding one to have a little more light reflected in the room.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Add Metallic Details That Can Reflect Light<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Metallic details do not only contribute to the aesthetics of your kitchen; they can also reflect light and make the room appear brighter. Consider getting a stainless steel fridge or other appliances to help brighten up your kitchen.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Paint Dark Wood Cabinets<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">If you’re looking for an easy and cheap way to brighten up your kitchen, painting the walls or your dark wood cabinets white would usually do the trick.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Handyman Connection of Winter Park boasts several years of experience in the home improvement industry.

In this blog, Handyman Connection\u00ae of Winter Park shares tips on how to prepare your home for spring.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pace Your Spring Preparations<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Spring cleaning sounds like a lot of work, but only if you compress all of it in a day or two. Minimize stress by getting an early start pacing your spring preparations across several days. By devoting one to two hours a day, and following a to-do list as you go along, you\u2019ll have your home all ready for spring.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Start With Indoor Tasks<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Put indoor tasks at the top of your checklist, holding off on outdoor work until the weather is warmer. You probably wouldn\u2019t want to stay outside for more than an hour if it\u2019s still too cold. There are plenty of indoor tasks that you can spread out over several days:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Attic Inspection<\/strong> \u2014 Keep an eye out for signs of moisture intrusion. In addition to water stains, you might find clumped roof insulation, which indicates contact with water. Also, take note of the attic temperature. It should be more or less the same as outdoor temperatures. If it\u2019s too warm, your attic may not be getting enough ventilation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>General Cleaning<\/strong> \u2014 The dry air during winter makes it easier to vacuum carpets and remove dust from windows.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Replace the HVAC Air Filter<\/strong> \u2014 Air filters typically require replacement as often as once a month during periods of heavy usage. They\u2019re fairly easy to replace, though you have to make sure you\u2019re buying air filters with the right size.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Heating Shutdown Procedure<\/strong> \u2014 Heating systems, particularly furnaces, need to be shut down properly, as leftover fuel can damage the furnace the next time you fire it up. Consult the furnace user guide or your HVAC technician if you\u2019re not sure what to do.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Outdoor Tasks<\/p>\n<p>When the weather is good enough for outdoor work, you need to have the gutters cleaned and the roof inspected, especially if you\u2019ve found signs of leaks during your attic inspection. In addition to gutter cleaning, you may also need to reapply caulk at the joints and seams. You can hire professionals to clean your gutters if you don\u2019t have the right equipment.<\/p>\n<p>Handyman Connection of Winter Park is your leading provider of handyman services.

Read on as Handyman Connection\u00ae of Winter Park shares a look at how to identify wood rot.——————————————– CONTINUE READING ——————————————–Dry Rot Vs. Wet RotThere are two varieties of wood rot: dry and wet. Dry rot is somewhat a misnomer as it is actually caused by one or more species of fungi, with Serpula lacrymans and Meruliporia incrassata being the most common. Visually, dry rot is easy to identify: in its early stages, it looks like thin sheets of cotton growing on timber. Mushroom-like growths may also be present. As it spreads, deep cracks will run on the wood grain. When you firmly tap these areas with a long-handled tool, parts will fall off. Wet rot, on the other hand, is caused by contact with moisture. Unlike dry rot, wet rot is a natural process, and is not caused by an invading organism.Of the two, wet rot is easier to prevent. Simply make sure that the wood is coated with paint or a protective stain, and reapply them as needed. Sources of moisture must also be controlled, such as leaky gutters and plumbing, to minimize contact. Dry rot, on the other hand, is far more serious, and often requires removal of all infected wood parts. Fungicide may also need to be applied. Inspecting for Wood RotBoth types of rot have one thing in common: they happen in moist environments. If you have a leaky roof, chances are, parts of the attic, ceiling and walls may be affected. Inspect moist and closed environments like under the sink on within an unfinished basement for telltale signs. If your home is equipped with wood window frames, look out for areas where paint has started cracking, chipping or peeling.Large wood installations such as decks and gazebos are susceptible to dry rot, which is why remodeling contractors recommend adhering to a regular deck maintenance routine. If your home has wood shake or shingle siding and\/or roofing, you should also make sure you follow their recommended cleaning and maintenance schedule.Handyman Connection of Winter Park is your leading provider of handyman services and home repairs.

However, there are others that you should leave to professionals. Handyman Connection\u00ae of Winter Park shares the following electrical tasks that you should never DIY:<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Home Wiring Replacement<\/strong> \u2014 Wiring replacement isn\u2019t as simple as cutting wires and soldering new ones back in. Factors such as the house\u2019s electrical load, among other things, are calculated by certified electricians. You also have to consider that, in addition to replacement, electricians also correct wiring errors in your home.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Dedicated Circuit Installation<\/strong> \u2014 If you have built a home addition, a shed or a detached garage, its electrical circuit is practically a small-scale house wiring installation. This means everything that’s in them that will use electricity\u2014lighting, power tools and televisions, to name a few\u2014will have to be factored in. A small miscalculation can cause damage to your other appliances, cause a blowout or may even be a fire risk.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. New Fixtures<\/strong> \u2014 Replacing light bulbs and installing fixtures are two entirely different things, and you should not attempt the latter at any rate. It may look simple, but the wiring is fairly complicated, especially when the fixture has added controls like a dimmer or lighting effects. Installing fixtures also has the added risk of a fall injury, which is one of the many things professionals are equipped for.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Large Appliances, Repair or Installation<\/strong> \u2014 A new chest freezer, home projector system or air conditioner needs to be installed by a professional. These appliances are far more complicated than light fixtures, and can take a long time to install for an inexperienced installer. There is also the risk that these appliances may not perform properly if not installed correctly. Today\u2019s large appliance manufacturers now include professional installation as part of their warranty requirements.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Electrical Panel Work<\/strong> \u2014 Most of the tasks we listed above will involve additions or adjustments to the electrical panel. This helps make sure that power is evenly distributed throughout the house, while allowing isolated circuits that can be shut down in case of emergencies.<\/p>\n<p>Handyman Connection of Winter Park is your leading provider of handyman services, including electrical repairs.

Aside from the potential damage they can cause your system, which, by the way, are usually incredibly costly to repair, they also pose a serious threat to your health and the health of your family. Issues in the pipe network itself can only be diagnosed by a licensed plumber. However, you can also usually tell if it has affected your water quality levels.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Our experienced plumbers and craftsmen at Handyman Connection of Winter Park warn of these red flags about faulty plumbing and what you can do to resolve them.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Visual Clues<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span>It\u2019s normal to see some mineral deposits (also called \u2018scales\u2019) form in and around well-used pipes, especially at the joints where two or more sections connect. However, these deposits never exceed a few millimeters in thickness even after years of water handling. If you notice an excessive amount of scales in any of your pipes, you are likely in need of descaling to dissolve the calcium deposits.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Rotten Odors<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span>Sulfates are a common contaminant that reduces water quality levels in any home. Luckily, they are easily detectable due to their distinct odor that\u2019s similar to the smell of rotten eggs. Sulfur contamination can be caused by certain types of bacteria which are easily eliminated by making use of antibacterial filter attachments to your plumbing system.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Bad Tastes<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span>Finally, poor water quality can also cause some funny tastes in your tap water. Some tastes and smells are normal like a very slight hint of chlorine which is used for disinfection but they can still be unpleasant. Watch out for metallic tastes because this might mean there is mercury, lead or copper in your water supply. Contact your local plumber and your water company if you suspect any of these issues.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>At Handyman Connection of Winter Park, our skilled plumbers can also help you resolve your plumbing problems.

Much Should You Set Aside for Your Home Maintenance Budget?"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Most homeowners will carve out a considerable chunk of their budgets for upgrades and renovations. Unfortunately, they often don\u2019t put much stock in setting aside a portion for repairs and maintenance. As far as practicality is concerned, it takes much less money to keep your home in good shape than to repair anything that has broken down due to regular wear and neglect.<\/p>\n<p>Caring for your home and the systems within it saves you more money in the long run but it\u2019s not always clear how much of your budget this should take. Here are a few tips from our team of craftsmen at Handyman Connection of Winter Park on how much you should allocate for the upkeep of your home.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Age Matters<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s impossible to predict just how much maintenance and what kind of repairs your home will need in the future. However, one factor that can be a big influence is age. Newer homes or homes built within the last five to 10 years will have almost zero maintenance needs. This changes slightly for every decade your house gets under its belt. Homes 30 years or older will certainly need more frequent repairs and so will need a bigger allocation in a budget.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The 1% Rule<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Of course, knowing the age of your home is not always a guaranteed way to determine how much you should shell out for maintenance. As such, experts recommend a tried-and-tested method: the 1% rule. The idea is simple: determine the value of your home and set aside 1% of this value every year for upkeep. This is a good rule to help you get started, but it can be prone to changes in the market price.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Square-Foot Rule<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This one is a variation of the 1% rule but the main concept is generally similar. For every square-foot of your home, set aside $1 per year. For example, a 2,000 square-foot home would need approximately about $2,000 in maintenance costs for that one year. Of course this has the same drawbacks as the 1% rule in that it\u2019s vulnerable to market price fluctuations. However, for the most part, you can expect the ups and downs to average out.<\/p>\n<p>Find everything you need to keep your home in great shape every year at Handyman Connection of Winter Park, your number one resource for general home maintenance and repair services.

Kitchen Problems You Should Fix Immediately"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>No home is complete without a kitchen. After all, without it, you wouldn\u2019t have a place to prepare and cook your meals every day. However, the kitchen can also cause you various problems if the things placed in it aren\u2019t properly maintained. As a homeowner, it\u2019s in your best interest to know what these potential problems are.<\/p>\n<p>Below, Handyman Connection\u00ae of Winter Park lists the five common kitchen issues that must be remedied as soon as possible:<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Faulty Oven<\/strong> – Does your food burn quickly in the oven? Does it take a while to cook? If so, consider buying an oven thermometer to check the temperature settings as it\u2019s possible your oven may only need to be recalibrated. If recalibration doesn\u2019t do the trick, consider replacing the oven instead.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Garbage Disposal Doesn\u2019t Work<\/strong> – If your garbage disposal doesn\u2019t grind the food scraps you drop there, try resetting it and if that doesn\u2019t work, try grinding an ice cube in it. However, if you suspect it\u2019s blocked with food, unplug it first before attempting to remove the blockage. Alternatively, you can always call a professional to fix it for you.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Leaky Faucet or Sink<\/strong> – Faucets and water lines aren\u2019t supposed to leak. Luckily enough, a leaky kitchen faucet is fairly easy to fix; if it spurts or sprays water, clean the faucet screen and if you notice water or mold under the sink, check for leaks near the drain line and call a plumber to fix it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Faulty Dishwasher<\/strong> – The dishwasher is in the kitchen to make cleaning dishes more convenient. However, there are possible reasons as to why your dishwasher isn\u2019t cleaning the dishes. If you find pieces of food on the dishes after every cycle, clean the spray arm, filter and float. If you notice watermarks on the dishes, on the other hand, it can be due to soapy residue so consider changing your detergent.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Freezer Issues\u00a0<\/strong>– If your fridge isn\u2019t staying cool, check if the doors are closing properly and if its seals are still snug. While you\u2019re at it, note any unusual heat, drips or noises around the fridge to see if it\u2019s faulty. If your fridge is starting to emit foul odors, meanwhile, it\u2019s possible that your food has spoiled due to neglect or temperature control. With that in mind, consider cleaning the fridge and adjust the interior temperatures to the optimum settings of 0 to 40 degrees Fahrenheit. If this doesn\u2019t do the trick, consider replacing the fridge.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>For your kitchen maintenance needs, don\u2019t hesitate to turn to Handyman Connection of Winter Park.
