U-Spray Do-it-Yourself Pest control in Lilburn - great resource

As an active contractor, HandyANDY is forever running into bug & termite situations on our projects. Metro Atlanta didn't get cold enough this winter so termites and carpenter ants are ...»
EVERYWHERE this year. We're currently on an exterior paint and repair project in Windward (Alpharetta) and discovered live termites in several locations around the perimeter of the house. The house had poorly caulked masonite siding....basically cardboard and the termites LOVE this stuff. It didn't help that the client has used a "big-name" highly advertised window company to replace all of their windows 2 years back....and no one bothered to caulk any of the windows. Whenever it rained, the moisture go into the trim & framing around the windows, rotting it out and giving a great home to ants & termites.

HandyANDY gets the chemicals we need fro U-spray on Highway 78 in Liburn/stone Mountain. These guys have been helping us for years. They are extremely knowledgable and will go out of their way to help you with their problem. Here, we will be using their product to spot treat the invested areas and then drill & trench around the perimeter to treat the whole house. HandyANDY will provide a 10-year warranty against any termite damage.

If you happen to have rotted wood, siding or trim in metro Atlanta...think HandyANDY!

Home Maintenance & Repairs: HandyANDY makes a number of carpentry repairs to a kennesaw home we are getting ready to repaint.

None of the windows were flashed properly or caulked well. We replaced one row of siding at the rear that enabled us to reflash several windows and a door. The siding is masonite and ...»
the homeowner was told by several contractors that it all needed to be replaced with hardiplank. The siding is in pretty decent shape considering it was never caulked or painted properly. We will hand wash the house, caulk all joints & nailheads with Duron Maxflex, hand paint the bottom edges of the siding with Duration and spray out the rest of the siding. This is pretty typical of how HandyANDY preps and paints a house!

Real Estate: Imagine by a home like this for $25k!!! Nice neighborhood, walk to schools..

I hunt down some of the best foreclosure deals in metro Atlanta...fun stuff! This home needs a chunk of repairs but you'd be all in it for about $45k! Unreal, with a full daylit basement: http://youtu.be/y0HOTkRh1S8

  • The importance of having your siding checked when your painting the exterior of your home.

I just rewatched this video I had shot on a job a couple of months ago and wanted to remind anyone who is looking to

have their house exterior painted to not only go with a great contractor but make sure they have taken the time to examine the siding of your home for any rot or damage that needs to be ...»
fixed first! This video is a great example. The house when it had been repainted prior to HandyAndy being there did a great job, they caulked and used decent paint but because of the LP siding and when it was installed it still rotted and needed to be replaced!! Check it out.

    profitable in the paint business. We will brush and roll stucco hear as well. Most everything in metro Atlanta is spray painted with the cheapest materials....or you see painters cut a quality paint like Duration with water so it can be sprayed easier...thereby ruining the qualities of the paint. HandyANDY finally had to start offering spray in order to be competitive. Many of our clients still prefer hand painting and like our lifetime warranty.

    The key to a good lasting paint job is in the prep...which means proper cleaning...followed by using top quality materials. I grew up in NY as well and painted my way through college & grad school! thanks for sharing
