Not sure if it's a handyman job?

Text us a photo. We'll tell you straight whether it's something we handle or point you to who does.

Can you do the whole list in one visit?

Usually, yes. Send the list ahead of time so we can bring the right materials and plan the day. Longer lists may need a second trip, but we'll tell you upfront.

How soon can you come out?

Most jobs are scheduled within a few days. Text a photo and we'll give you a real date, not a vague window.

Do I need to be home the whole time?

Not always. We need access and a quick walkthrough at the start. After that, many customers head out and we lock up when we're done.

Can you match my existing trim profile?

Usually yes. We'll identify the profile and source matching material. If it's a discontinued profile, we'll show you the closest match before we order anything.

Do you paint the trim after installing it?

We can prime and caulk so it's paint-ready, or do the full paint finish — just let us know when you book.

How long does a trim project take?

A single room of crown molding or baseboard typically takes half a day to a full day. Larger projects like built-ins or whole-house trim are scoped individually.

Can you build custom shelving to my dimensions?

Yes. We'll measure the space, discuss materials and finish options, and build to fit. No flat-pack assembly — everything is cut and built on-site.

Can you match my wall texture?

Yes. We identify your texture type and match it before we leave. We'll do a test patch first if the texture is unusual.

Do I need to repaint the whole wall after a patch?

Not always. If the wall color is a close match and the sheen is consistent, a spot prime and paint often blends well. We'll tell you honestly what to expect.

What if the damage was caused by water?

We'll make sure the source is fixed before we patch. Patching over an active leak just delays the problem. Once it's dry and sealed, we'll make it look new.

How long does drywall repair take to dry?

Joint compound needs 24 hours between coats. Most repairs take 1–2 days total. We'll schedule around that so you're not waiting longer than necessary.

Do you supply the paint or do I?

Either works. We can supply paint at cost, or you can choose your own color and we'll apply it. We'll tell you how much you need so there's no waste.

How long does a room take to paint?

A standard bedroom is usually a half day. Larger rooms, high ceilings or detailed trim work take longer. We'll give you a time estimate when we quote the job.

Do you move furniture?

We move light furniture to the center of the room and cover it. Large or heavy pieces should be moved ahead of time. We'll let you know what to expect.

What's the best time of year for exterior painting in Dallas?

Spring and fall are ideal — mild temps and lower humidity help paint cure properly. We can work in summer with the right products, but we'll be honest about conditions.

Why does my door stick in summer but not winter?

Wood expands in heat and humidity. We can plane the door edge or adjust the hinges so it clears the frame year-round without gaps in winter.

Can you replace just the hardware without replacing the door?

Usually yes. Most standard hardware is interchangeable. We'll confirm the bore size and backset before ordering anything.

My door doesn't latch unless I lift the handle. Is that a big fix?

Usually not. It's typically a strike plate adjustment or a hinge issue — a quick fix that makes a big difference.

Can you install a new exterior door?

Yes. We install pre-hung exterior doors including framing adjustments, weatherstripping and hardware. Text a photo of the opening and we'll scope it.

How do I know if my fascia is rotted?

Press on it. If it gives or feels soft, it's rotted. Peeling paint, dark staining or visible gaps are also signs. Text us a photo and we'll tell you what we see.

Do you need to remove the gutters to fix the fascia?

Usually yes — gutters attach to the fascia. We remove them carefully, do the repair, and re-attach them. We'll note any gutter issues while we're up there.

Can you match the existing wood profile?

Yes. Standard fascia and soffit profiles are widely available. If yours is unusual, we'll find the closest match and show you before we order.

Does this need to be painted after repair?

We prime all repaired surfaces before we leave. Painting within a few weeks protects the repair and keeps it looking right. We can paint it too if you'd like.

Can you repair just a few boards without replacing the whole fence?

Yes. We replace only what's damaged and match the board size and style to the existing fence. It blends in well once it weathers or is stained.

My gate sags and won't latch. Is that a big job?

Usually not. A sagging gate is typically a hinge issue or a post that's shifted slightly. We can usually fix it in under an hour.

How long does a fence post repair take?

Resetting a post takes a few hours including concrete cure time. We'll brace it while it sets so the fence is secure before we leave.

Do you build new fences or just repair them?

Primarily repair. If your fence needs full replacement, we can quote it — but we'll always tell you honestly if repair is the smarter call.

Can you mount a TV on a brick or tile wall?

Yes. We use masonry anchors rated for the weight. It takes a bit longer than drywall but the result is just as solid.

Do you hide the TV cables in the wall?

Yes, we can run cables through the wall with a recessed outlet kit for a clean look. Let us know when you book and we'll bring the right materials.

I have plaster walls. Can you still mount things?

Yes. Plaster requires different anchors and a bit more care, but we work with it regularly in older Dallas homes.

Can you do a whole list of mounting jobs in one visit?

Absolutely. That's the most efficient way to do it. Send us the list and we'll plan the visit around it.

How do I know if my house has air leaks?

Hold your hand near window and door frames on a windy day — you'll feel it. Candle smoke near baseboards and outlets also shows air movement. We can do a walkthrough and show you exactly where the gaps are.

What's the difference between caulk and weatherstripping?

Caulk seals fixed gaps — around frames, trim and penetrations. Weatherstripping seals moving parts — the edges of doors and operable windows. Both are usually needed.

How long does caulk last?

Quality exterior caulk lasts 10–20 years. Bathroom caulk around wet areas typically needs refreshing every 5–7 years. We use products rated for the application.

Can this actually lower my energy bill?

Yes. Air sealing is one of the highest-return improvements you can make. The Department of Energy estimates air leaks account for 25–40% of heating and cooling costs in typical homes.

How often should I schedule a maintenance visit?

Twice a year is the standard — once in spring before the heat sets in, and once in fall before winter. We'll remind you when it's time.

What if you find something that needs a bigger repair?

We'll tell you what we found, give you an honest assessment of urgency, and quote the repair separately. No pressure, no inflated findings.

Do you do the repairs during the maintenance visit?

Minor items — a loose hinge, a worn sweep, a filter swap — yes, we handle those on the spot. Larger repairs get scheduled as a follow-up.

Can I set up a recurring maintenance schedule?

Yes. We can put you on a twice-yearly schedule so you don't have to think about it. Text us and we'll set it up.

Home repairs and small jobs in Dallas

Taylor Home Services takes care of the small repairs that pile up: loose hardware, sticking doors, damaged trim, wall patches and more. Send your list and we'll plan the whole visit up front. Most small-job lists are done in a single trip.

You know what needs doing. You just don't have the weekend for it. Most homeowners have a running list — the cabinet door that won't close right, the baseboard that got kicked loose, the wall patch that's been staring at you for six months. We bundle everything into one organized visit so you're not paying for three separate trips or waiting on three different contractors.

✓Sticking or misaligned doors and worn door hardware

Carpentry and trim work in Dallas

From crown molding and door casings to built-in shelving and custom trim details, Taylor Home Services handles finish carpentry that looks like it was always there. We measure twice, cut once, and leave clean joints — no gaps, no caulk hiding sloppy work.

Good carpentry is the difference between a house that feels finished and one that feels like it's still in progress. We handle everything from replacing a single piece of damaged baseboard to installing crown molding throughout an entire floor. Every cut is made on-site to fit your exact walls and corners — because no two houses are square. We take the time to cope joints properly, nail cleanly, and fill and sand before we leave so the painter (or you) has a surface that's actually ready.

What we handle

✓Crown molding installation and repair
✓Baseboard, door casing and window casing replacement
✓Built-in shelving and custom storage solutions
✓Wainscoting, board-and-batten and accent wall framing

Drywall repair and patching in Dallas

Holes, cracks, water stains, doorknob dents — we patch drywall so you can't tell where the damage was. That means matching your existing texture, feathering the mud properly, and leaving a surface that's ready for paint.

Drywall repair looks simple until you try to match a knockdown texture or blend a patch into a wall that's been painted four times. We've done enough of these to know that the finish is everything. We take the time to apply multiple coats of joint compound, sand between coats, and match your wall's texture — whether that's smooth, orange peel, knockdown, or skip trowel. When we're done, the patch disappears. We can also prime the repair so it's ready for your painter, or handle the paint ourselves if you want one less thing to coordinate.

What we handle

✓Small holes from nails, anchors and doorknobs
✓Large holes from plumbing access, electrical work or damage
✓Cracks along seams, corners and ceiling joints
✓Water-damaged drywall replacement and sealing
✓Texture matching — knockdown, orange peel, skip trowel, smooth
✓Popped nails and screw pops throughout walls and ceilings
✓Corner bead repair and replacement
✓Prime and paint-ready finish on all repairs

Common questions

Door and window repair in Dallas

Sticking doors, broken locks, drafty frames and worn weatherstripping — we fix the doors and windows that aren't working the way they should. Most repairs are done in a single visit without replacing the whole unit.

Doors and windows take more abuse than almost anything else in a house. They're opened and closed thousands of times a year, they expand and contract with the Texas heat, and the hardware wears out long before the door itself does. We diagnose the actual problem — whether it's a hinge that needs adjustment, a frame that's shifted, a threshold that's worn through, or a lock that's just given out — and fix it correctly. We also install new doors and windows when replacement is the right call, and we'll tell you honestly which situation you're in.

What we handle

✓Sticking, dragging or misaligned interior and exterior doors
✓Door hardware replacement — locks, handles, deadbolts and hinges
✓Weatherstripping and door sweep replacement
✓Threshold repair and replacement
✓Screen door repair and replacement
✓Window hardware, locks and balance repair
✓Window caulking and re-glazing for drafts and leaks
✓Pre-hung door installation — interior and exterior

Fascia, soffit and exterior wood repair in Dallas

Rotted or damaged fascia and soffit lets water into your roof structure and invites pests. We replace damaged sections, seal the repair properly, and prime it so it's ready for paint — stopping the damage before it spreads to the framing.

Fascia and soffit damage almost always starts small — a little soft spot, some peeling paint, a section that looks slightly off. Left alone, it becomes a water intrusion problem that reaches the roof decking and rafters. We've seen the difference between catching it early and catching it late, and early is a lot cheaper. We remove only what's damaged, replace it with matching material, seal every joint against moisture, and prime the repair. If the damage has already reached the framing, we'll tell you exactly what we found and what it takes to fix it right.

What we handle

✓Rotted fascia board replacement — partial or full runs
✓Damaged soffit panel repair and replacement
✓Exterior wood rot repair on rakes, eaves and overhangs
✓Pest entry point sealing on soffits and fascia gaps
✓Caulking and sealing all joints against moisture
✓Prime coat on all repaired surfaces, paint-ready finish
✓Inspection of adjacent framing for hidden moisture damage
✓Gutter re-attachment after fascia replacement

Fence and gate repair in Dallas

Leaning posts, rotted boards, sagging gates and broken hardware — we repair wood and metal fences so they're solid, level and secure again. Most fence repairs don't require replacing the whole fence.

Dallas soil moves. Posts that were perfectly plumb when the fence was built can lean significantly after a few years of clay expansion and drought cycles. Add in the occasional storm, a car backing into a section, or just normal wood rot at the post base, and most fences need attention every few years. We assess the whole fence, not just the obvious damage, and tell you what needs fixing now versus what can wait. We reset posts in concrete, replace rotted boards with matching material, and adjust gates so they latch and swing properly. If the fence is past repair, we'll tell you that too.

What we handle

✓Leaning or heaved post reset and re-setting in concrete
✓Rotted or broken board replacement — matched to existing style
✓Sagging or misaligned gate adjustment and rehang
✓Gate hardware replacement — hinges, latches and locks
✓Storm damage repair — broken sections and downed panels
✓Wood rot treatment and sealing at post bases
✓Metal fence and wrought iron repair and touch-up
✓Fence stain or paint prep and application

Mounting and installation in Dallas

TV mounts, shelving, mirrors, artwork, curtain rods and more — installed level, anchored into studs or with the right hardware for your wall type, and done in one visit. No guessing, no crooked frames.

Mounting things properly means knowing your wall. Drywall over wood studs, drywall over metal studs, plaster, brick, tile — each one needs different hardware and a different approach. We find the studs, use the right anchors, and make sure everything is level before we drill. A TV mount that pulls out of the wall or a shelf that sags after a month isn't a money saver — it's a problem. We do it right the first time so you don't have to think about it again.

What we handle

✓TV mounting — flat, tilting and full-motion mounts on any wall type
✓Floating shelves and shelf systems — level and anchored to studs
✓Large mirrors and heavy artwork — proper anchoring and leveling
✓Curtain rods and window treatments
✓Towel bars, toilet paper holders and bathroom accessories
✓Closet systems and organizers
✓Garage storage — wall panels, overhead racks and shelving
✓Outdoor items — mailboxes, house numbers, light fixtures and more

Caulking and weatherproofing in Dallas

Gaps around windows, doors, pipes and trim let conditioned air out and moisture in. We seal them with the right product for each location — inside and out — so your home is tighter, more comfortable and better protected against the Texas climate.

A drafty house in Dallas isn't just uncomfortable — it's expensive. Air leaks around windows, doors, plumbing penetrations and exterior trim can add significantly to your cooling and heating costs. The fix is usually straightforward: the right caulk or sealant, applied correctly, in the right places. We do a systematic walk of the exterior and interior, identify every gap and penetration that needs attention, and seal them with products matched to the surface — paintable caulk for trim, silicone for wet areas, foam for larger gaps, and weatherstripping for moving parts. It's not glamorous work, but it makes a real difference.

What we handle

✓Window and door frame caulking — interior and exterior
✓Weatherstripping replacement on doors and windows
✓Door sweep installation and adjustment
✓Exterior penetration sealing — pipes, vents, conduit and cables
✓Bathroom and kitchen re-caulking — tubs, showers and sinks
✓Attic hatch and pull-down stair sealing
✓Garage door weatherstripping and bottom seal
✓Whole-house air sealing walkthrough and assessment

Common questions

Seasonal home maintenance in Dallas

Staying ahead of maintenance is always cheaper than reacting to damage. We handle the seasonal checklist items that protect your home through Dallas summers and winters — from exterior caulking and weatherstripping to gutter clearing and HVAC filter changes.

Dallas is hard on houses. The heat cracks caulk and dries out wood. The clay soil heaves and shifts foundations and fence posts. Winter cold snaps stress pipes and weatherstripping. Most of the damage that turns into expensive repairs starts as something small that got missed on a maintenance walkthrough. We offer seasonal visits that work through a real checklist — not a sales pitch — and take care of the items on the spot. You get a written summary of what we found, what we fixed, and what to watch. No surprises, no upsells.

What we handle

✓Exterior caulk inspection and re-sealing at windows, doors and trim
✓Weatherstripping and door sweep check and replacement
✓Gutter clearing and downspout flow check
✓HVAC filter replacement and vent cleaning
✓Smoke and CO detector battery replacement and testing
✓Exterior wood inspection for rot, cracking and paint failure
✓Fence and gate check — post stability, hardware and latches
✓Written summary of findings and recommended follow-up items
