Services
Everything your home needs, from one craftsman.
Aaron takes on repairs, upgrades, and full remodels for homeowners in Athens and within 100 miles. Below is the honest scope of what he does — and what a typical project in each category looks like.
Drywall Repair & Installation
From a doorknob hole in the hallway to hanging and finishing an entire room, Aaron takes drywall seriously. He tapes, floats, sands, and texture-matches so repairs blend into the wall instead of announcing themselves. Water-damaged ceilings get the moisture source addressed first, then rebuilt properly. Every job ends with dust contained and floors covered.
Typical projects include
- Patching holes, cracks, and nail pops
- Ceiling and wall repair after leaks
- Hanging and finishing new rooms or additions
- Knockdown, orange peel, and smooth texture matching
Interior & Exterior Painting
Good paint work is mostly prep, and that's where most jobs go wrong. Aaron scrapes, caulks, patches, and primes before a drop of finish coat goes on. Interiors get cut lines you can run your eye along; exteriors get products chosen for East Texas heat and humidity so you're not repainting in three years.
Typical projects include
- Full interior repaints, room by room
- Exterior siding, trim, and soffit painting
- Cabinet and trim refinishing
- Deck, fence, and porch staining or sealing
Water Heater Installation & Replacement
When a water heater goes, it usually goes all at once. Aaron replaces tank units, upgrades households to tankless when it makes sense, and hauls the old unit away. Connections, pans, expansion tanks, and venting all get done to code — not shortcut so the water runs hot today and leaks next spring.
Typical projects include
- Standard tank replacement (30–75 gallon)
- Tankless installation and conversion
- Drain pan, expansion tank, and venting corrections
- Old unit removal and disposal
Window & Door Installation
A door that sticks or a window that whistles is costing you money every month. Aaron replaces exterior doors and windows with proper flashing, shimming, and sealing so they open easy and stay tight. Interior door swaps, new hardware, and rehanging sagging units are quick wins that make a house feel maintained.
Typical projects include
- Exterior door and storm door replacement
- Window replacement and re-glazing
- Interior door hanging and hardware upgrades
- Weatherstripping and draft sealing
Tile Backsplash Installation
A backsplash is one of the highest-impact weekend upgrades in a home, and it's completely dependent on layout. Aaron plans the tile layout around your outlets and cabinet lines so cuts land where nobody notices them. Substrate gets prepped, tile gets set level, and grout gets sealed.
Typical projects include
- Kitchen backsplash from counter to cabinets
- Bathroom vanity and shower surround tile
- Mosaic, subway, hex, and large-format installs
- Grout replacement and resealing
Wall Siding Repair & Installation
Siding is your home's first line of defense. Aaron replaces rotted or hail-damaged boards, corrects the underlying moisture issue, and matches profiles so patches don't stand out. Full re-siding projects get proper wrap, flashing, and fastening for long-term performance.
Typical projects include
- Rot and storm damage board replacement
- Hardie, vinyl, and wood siding installation
- Trim, fascia, and soffit repair
- Caulking and exterior sealing
Fixture Repairs & Replacement
The small stuff adds up: a dripping faucet, a wobbling ceiling fan, a light fixture that's been dated since 2004. Aaron knocks these out in batches so you get a whole punch list handled in one visit instead of chasing five different pros for one hour of work each.
Typical projects include
- Faucet, sink, and toilet replacement
- Ceiling fan and light fixture installation
- Cabinet hardware and door hardware swaps
- Bathroom accessory and mirror mounting
Flooring Installation & Repair
Flooring shows every shortcut, so Aaron starts with the subfloor: leveling, securing, and repairing before the first plank goes down. Transitions, thresholds, and trim get finished carefully so the job looks intentional at every doorway rather than patched together.
Typical projects include
- Luxury vinyl plank and laminate installation
- Tile floors in kitchens, baths, and entries
- Subfloor repair and squeak elimination
- Baseboard, quarter round, and transition trim
Bathroom Remodels
Bathrooms are small rooms with a lot of trades packed into them, which is exactly why homeowners end up juggling contractors. Aaron handles demo, waterproofing, tile, vanity, fixtures, lighting, and trim himself. You get one point of contact, one schedule, and a bathroom that's watertight where it counts.
Typical projects include
- Tub-to-shower conversions
- Full tile shower builds with proper waterproofing
- Vanity, mirror, and lighting replacement
- Flooring, trim, and paint to finish it out
Kitchen Remodels
A kitchen remodel is the biggest disruption most families take on, so the schedule matters as much as the finish. Aaron sequences the work to keep your kitchen usable as long as possible, installs cabinets level and secure, coordinates countertop templating, and finishes with backsplash, lighting, and trim.
Typical projects include
- Cabinet installation, refacing, and repainting
- Countertop coordination and installation support
- Backsplash tile and under-cabinet lighting
- Sink, faucet, disposal, and appliance fitting
Fences & Porches
Fences and porches take the full brunt of East Texas weather. Aaron sets posts in concrete at proper depth, uses framing that won't sag by year two, and rebuilds rotted porch decking and steps so they feel solid underfoot. Gates get hung so they still latch after the first hot summer.
Typical projects include
- New privacy and ranch-style fence builds
- Fence section, post, and gate repair
- Porch decking, steps, and railing rebuilds
- Covered porch framing and finish work
General Handyman Services
Most homes carry a list of ten small things nobody wants to call a contractor about. That's exactly the work Aaron likes batching: mounting, patching, adjusting, sealing, and repairing. Send the list when you book and he'll come prepared with the right materials for all of it.
Typical projects include
- TV mounting, shelving, and storage installs
- Door adjustment, caulking, and weather sealing
- Small carpentry and trim repairs
- Seasonal maintenance and honey-do lists
