Gutter Cleaning

Professional gutter cleaning removes debris buildup to prevent water damage. Our technicians use specialized tools to clear leaves, nests, and sediment from roof gutters and downspouts. Regular maintenance protects home foundations and prevents costly repairs. We recommend bi-annual cleanings or more frequent service for properties with overhanging trees.

Deck Repairs

Comprehensive deck repair services restore structural integrity and appearance. We fix loose boards, replace damaged components, and reinforce connections to ensure safety. Our team handles pressure-treated wood, composite materials, and custom designs. Post-storm inspections identify hidden damage to prevent future issues while preserving outdoor living spaces.

Plumbing Repairs

Emergency and scheduled plumbing repairs address leaks, clogs, and fixture malfunctions. Services include pipe replacement, faucet installation, and toilet repair. We work on both modern and older plumbing systems, using diagnostic tools to locate hidden leaks. Preventative maintenance reduces water waste and minimizes repair costs over time.

Gutter Covers

Premium gutter cover installation prevents debris accumulation while maintaining proper water flow. Our seamless aluminum guards resist corrosion and withstand extreme weather. The patented design reduces maintenance needs by 90% compared to traditional gutters. Installation includes custom fitting for complex roof configurations and existing gutter systems.

Pressure Washing

Professional pressure washing removes dirt, mold, and stains from exterior surfaces. We clean driveways, siding, decks, and patios using adjustable pressure settings to avoid damage. Eco-friendly cleaning solutions enhance results while protecting landscaping. Regular washing maintains property appearance and prevents long-term deterioration from organic growth.

Doug and his son Cory are very polite, professional and prompt! As someone who has worked with family for over 20 years, I appreciate quality family run businesses. I called Doug's Handyman Service on Thursday afternoon and by Friday morning the service was complete. Highly recommend! - Heather with Carpets Plus

I reached out to Doug for a bunch of little things needing to be completed around the house that grew to a big thing we could not handle. He came out to review and started work same day. Honestly, no job is too small and I cannot endorse Doug and the company enough. He methodically went through everything, made recommendations on the best way to approach each item, and knew everything about everything - from drywall repairs to re-aligning doors to plumbing and windows.
Doug was beyond knowledgeable, prompt, efficient, and took care to keep the work space in each room clean. He worked with our

I had Doug and Corey remodel my bathrooms of which I am very satisfied with their workmanship. Doug helped me with some ideas prior to starting and if they had a question or problem along the way they asked me about it before just doing it. After they were done, they left the area very clean and hauled things that were replaced. I will definitely use them again for any project I may have in the future.

Submitted a request using their online submission form. A few days later Cory reached out to me to get more details. Over the course of the next week I got two responses with a single sentence/question in each. I sent the pictures that were asked for and provided my address. This would be the last email Cory would send. That was a month ago, and I have yet to hear back from Cory. I get that maybe the job wasn't worth the drive, but I would have appreciated it if that was communicated instead of being ghosted like some Tinder date gone wrong.

Cory came out to our home this morning to install a new faucet and garbage disposal. Appointment was scheduled for 7:30 am and Cory rang my doorbell at 7:28, which I greatly appreciated considering how hectic our mornings can be. Approximately 1 hour later our new faucet and disposal were working great! Thanks Cory! We'll look to use Doug's again for additional projects.

I called Doug's Handyman Service and left a message about work I needed done. They showed up the next day with the estimate and completed the job the following day! I was impressed with the quick response and that the job ( gutter cleaning and repair) was done throughly and neatly.
