The Plus Side of the Pandemic: Enhanced Living Spaces

We expect the renewed home improvement trend will continue in 2021. If you need a New Jersey or St. Louis handyman that can do it all, contact the trained professionals of Gateway Realty and Home Services.

As we all know, 2020 forced many people to adjust to a new way of living, working, learning, and exercising. For many, it meant brushing up on cooking skills, finding new ways to be active, and taking on new hobbies. It also meant finally get around to – and adding to – that big to-do list around the home.

With nowhere to go, home improvements surged in 2020. People invested in workspaces, at-home gyms, and cozy sanctuaries. As the world shut down, people shifted travel funds and typical leisure expenses into boosting their homes’ comfort, creativity, and safety.

And when local residents needed a New Jersey or St. Louis handyman, they knew who to call. The experienced professionals of Gateway Realty and Home Services were able to help countless families, and homeowners cross off everything on the list – from minor maintenance requests to full repairs.

Taking it Outside

One of the main focus areas for everyone in 2020 was how to elevate the outside and outdoor space as an extension of the home. While some people turned to landscape and transformed their backyards into an outdoor oasis, attending to the more subtle needs is also critical.

For instance, what good is a new stoned pathway if your deck looks shoddy and old? A simple power wash and deck staining can help to elevate the overall appearance. Old, rusted gutters not only look ugly, but they also can be damaging to your home’s foundation. Regular maintenance and cleanings are essential to ensure your gutters don’t leak or cause flowerbeds to wash away.

Subtle Fixes Make a Big Difference

The little problems that never mattered can begin to gnaw at us with all this extra time inside. But it doesn’t take much to transform an indoor space into a living work of art. Our kitchen maintenance and repairers can install new cabinets or hardware, fix plumbing and light fixtures.

We can create a spa-like bathroom with new showerheads or literally change the ground you walk on with new tiles or carpet. Whether you want to go big or simply improve your current space – we can help you get it done.

Paint It Up!

Of course, we couldn’t talk about home repair without talking about painting. One of the easiest ways to improve the look and feel of your home is by giving it a new color or coat of paint. Our handymen are talented and experienced at both interior and exterior painting. More importantly, we ensure that all surfaces are free from underlying problems like mold, mildew, and dirt.
