I take great pride in my 40 plus years of experience, expertise, quality, and customer service that we provide to meet the consumer�s needs. It is my mission to provide excellent workmanship and complete customer satisfaction from start to completion of a project. In order to understand the needs and expectations of my customers, I take great care to work and communicate with every customer in a professional manner. My reputation is based on service, safety, and quality, regardless of how large or small the job.

"We actually had a complete remodel of the basement, including a bathroom. It involved a rebuild of the walls etc in the basement, Mr Sosbee was there everyday when he said he would be and worked the complete day to complete his tasks. Everything he did ( which was extensive ) was top notch work and not only did he do the work he agreed to do but was open to suggestions along the way and in fact redirected us a few times with better ideas on how we could best use the available space, which clearly resulted in a better finished product than we had thought possible. Jack is a true craftsman--so hard to find in the world today. We would ( and will ) use him again."

Handyman services FAQs

Installing drywall over existing paneling might seem convenient but generally isn't recommended by construction professionals. This approach can create moisture traps between surfaces and result in uneven walls. The better practice involves removing the paneling first, then installing fresh drywall on properly prepared surfaces. While this increases initial costs, it prevents potential long-term issues like mold growth and structural problems that could prove far more expensive to address later.

Outdated or dark wood paneling often negatively impacts buyer perception and potentially reduces home value in today's market. Most contemporary buyers prefer bright, neutral wall surfaces that make spaces feel open and adaptable. However, in certain architectural styles or historic homes, well-maintained quality paneling might actually enhance character and appeal. Market impact ultimately depends on your specific location, the quality of the paneling, and current design preferences in your region.

Wall damage during paneling removal varies significantly depending on installation methods and underlying wall conditions. Nailed paneling causes minimal damage, requiring simple hole patching. Adhesive-mounted panels present greater challenges, often pulling away sections of drywall paper or plaster when removed. Examining a small test section first helps assess potential issues. Using proper tools like a pry bar and utility knife minimizes damage, but preparing for some wall repairs is a smart approach for any paneling removal project.
