Shower surround repair in Sequim

2010-11-19T18:17:00.000-08:00

Here's a recent job I completed at a rental house here in Sequim. The shower water supply line had broken away from the valve and water had leaked into the wall for a while, which created dry rot and damaged sheetrock.

Here are the pictures showing the broken pipe, damaged wall, new valve installed, new 1/2 inch Hardibacker, new tile, and then, the final result.

Notice the dry rot and sheetrock damaged caused by the broken pipe...New valve installed below...

Hardibacker installed, and new 4" tile installed directly onto that.
And here's the finished shower... looking and working great!

Decking repaired in Sequim

2010-11-19T17:53:00.000-08:00

Is your deck looking old and worn out? Are there rotted or broken boards on it? Is it time to get a facelift or does it need repairs? If you answer 'yes' to any of these questions, we can help!

Check out the pictures from a recent job we did in Sequim. We replaced the decking with Trex decking, Saddle color, with color matched screws, and it turned out great.

For this job we removed the existing decking, which was treated 2 x 4s. We also had to re-inforce the deck to better support the Trex, so we added additional joists to make the support beams 12 inch on center. This means a stronger deck with less flex that will last for years.

Give us a call and we'll come by and see what your deck needs to look great and be safe!

Save time and money with a clean, efficient dryer vent

2009-03-09T21:21:00.000-07:00

Dryer vent ducting can sometimes get blocked, crushed or disconnected, making your dryer much more ineffecient in drying time and wasted energy.

Birds and other small animals make nests in ducts that have damaged or missing wall caps, which can create additional hazards.

And even though you are cleaning the lint trap before each drying cycle, lint still gets by, and over time can build up in your vent and can become a potential fire hazard.

Some dryer vents were initially installed improperly, are too long, or have too many curves and bends, which can also lead to a clogged vent.

I inspect, clean and repair or replace damaged and inefficient dryer vents to help you save valuable time and money.

Call me for an appointment today!

Winter-proof your house with weather stripping and cleaning furnace filters

2008-10-17T10:10:00.001-07:00

So Fall's finally here, and Winter's just around the corner, and that means cooler temps outside, which means higher energy bills to heat your house.

One great way to keep your energy bills lower is to make sure your doors have good seals with new weather stripping.

It's also time to clean and/or replace your air filters on your furnace, which helps keep your indoor air clean, and again, helps your furnace run more efficiently.

These are a couple of the services we provide at North Coast Home Repair, so if you're not up to doing it yourself, but you want to benefit from the heat and energy savings, give us a call and we'll get it done for you.

Have you cleaned your dryer vent lately?

2008-10-04T09:50:00.000-07:00

As a homeowner, there's always something around the house that needs your attention. One of the last things people think about is their dryer vent, and the potential fire hazard it presents. Many times vents are clogged with lint, debris and sometimes dead critters that have climbed in from the outside, creating a potential fire hazard.

If your dryer is taking 2 or more cycles to dry your clothers, or you notice a smell of burning lint or fabric, your vent may be clogged. Depending on how long your vent is, you may need to hire a professional to inspect it and clean it.

I use the Ro-Vac system for my clients. It's a specially designed high-power vacuum system with specialized rods and brushes that clean and remove lint and other debris. A clean dryer vent saves you drying time, saves energy, saves you money on your electric bill, and helps provide a little peace of mind by removing a potential fire hazard from your home.

If you live in the Sequim, Port Angeles or Port Townsend area in Washington, give me a call, and I can schedule a time to clean and inspect your dryer vent.
