Frequently Asked Questions

Eastern Washington's dry climate and seasonal temperature swings require careful prep work and weather-resistant finishes. Exterior painting should be scheduled during mild weather to ensure proper drying and adhesion. At Tri-Cities Handyman Services, we design exterior painting for local conditions to maximize durability.

Smooth finishes are essential for even paint application. Drywall should be properly sanded, primed, and free of dust or debris before painting begins. We focus on creating paint-ready surfaces that eliminate visible seams and imperfections.

Replace windows when frames are rotting, drafts persist despite repairs, or energy loss becomes noticeable. Aging windows that stick or no longer seal properly often cost more to repair than replace. Window replacement improves efficiency and prepares homes for seasonal temperature changes in the Tri-Cities.

Loose boards are typically re-secured to the subfloor, while damaged sections may need replacement. Addressing gaps and surface damage early helps extend the life of existing floors. Flooring repairs are ideal for high-traffic household areas where wear is most visible.

Wind, seasonal weather changes, and moisture exposure accelerate wear on siding, fascia, and soffits. Eastern Washington's conditions can cause cracking, warping, and gaps that lead to further damage. Regular inspections help catch issues before they compromise home protection.

Mounting into studs is essential for secure, long-lasting TV installs. Drywall anchors alone typically can't support the weight safely. At Tri-Cities Handyman Services, we ensure secure mounting into proper surfaces to avoid damage and uneven placement.

Rushing the finishing process often results in visible seams and uneven texture. Proper sanding, priming, and multiple coats are necessary for smooth, paint-ready walls. We work efficiently while maintaining quality finishes that blend seamlessly with existing surfaces.

Baseboards, crown molding, and interior trim create clean transitions between surfaces and add visual polish. Precision cuts and careful installation enhance the finished look of living areas and bedrooms. Trim upgrades are common in homes across Kennewick, Pasco, and Richland.

Shifting foundations, humidity changes, and worn hinges cause doors to stick, sag, or misalign. Proper adjustments and hardware replacement restore function and improve energy efficiency. Door repairs are common in both older and newer residential properties.

Professional painters work with attention to cleanliness, using drop cloths and minimizing disruption to daily routines. Interior painting projects include careful prep work to protect furniture and flooring. At Tri-Cities Handyman Services, we prioritize livability and cleanliness throughout the process.
