Handyman & General Maintenance

Services We Offer

Furniture Assembly Flat-pack furniture assembly is one of those tasks that looks straightforward until you're forty-five minutes in, surrounded by hardware bags and instruction diagrams that seem to describe a different piece of furniture than the one in front of you, with two pieces left over that definitely should have gone somewhere. Ironclad assembles furniture efficiently and correctly — from simple bookshelves and bed frames to complex wardrobe systems, office furniture, and outdoor pieces that come in boxes larger than some studio apartments. We bring our own tools, follow the manufacturer's instructions properly, and leave the assembled piece level, tight, and where you want it with all the packaging removed and disposed of.

TV Mounting & Media Installation A television mounted cleanly on the wall at the right height and angle transforms a room — and a television mounted poorly, with visible wires running down the wall and a bracket that isn't quite level, is something you notice every time you sit down to watch it. Ironclad handles TV mounting with the attention to detail the job deserves — finding the right studs, selecting the appropriate mount for your wall type, positioning the screen at the correct viewing height, and managing the cable situation so wires aren't draped visibly down the wall. We also handle basic media component setup, soundbar mounting, and the general cable management that makes an entertainment area look intentional rather than like an afterthought.

Door & Window Weatherstripping Drafty doors and windows aren't just uncomfortable — they're a direct line item on your utility bill every month that adds up significantly over a heating or cooling season. Ironclad replaces worn, compressed, or missing weatherstripping on doors and windows throughout your home, sealing the gaps that let conditioned air out and outside air in. It's one of the most cost effective home maintenance investments available — the materials are inexpensive and the energy savings begin immediately. If you've ever held your hand near a closed exterior door on a cold day and felt the draft, you already know how much of your heating dollar is walking out through the gaps.

Caulking & Sealing Caulk fails over time — it shrinks, cracks, peels, and develops the kind of grayish discoloration that no amount of cleaning will fix. Failed caulk around tubs, showers, sinks, windows, and exterior penetrations isn't just cosmetic — it allows moisture to migrate into wall cavities, subfloors, and framing where it causes damage that far exceeds the cost of simply maintaining the caulk lines. Ironclad removes old failed caulk properly and applies fresh caulk with the clean, consistent bead that makes the difference between a professional looking result and one that looks like someone ran a finger along a bead of silicone and called it done. We use the right caulk formulation for each application — silicone for wet areas, paintable latex for trim and windows, exterior-rated products for outdoor applications — because using the wrong type is one of the most common reasons caulk fails prematurely.

Ceiling Fan Balancing & Repair A ceiling fan that wobbles, shakes, clicks, or hums with every revolution is more than an annoyance — it's a sign that something is out of balance or worn, and if it's left unaddressed it will eventually get worse. Ironclad diagnoses and corrects ceiling fan balance and noise issues through blade balancing, hardware tightening, and component assessment that identifies what's causing the problem and fixes it at the source rather than just masking the symptom. Blade balancing involves attaching small counterweights to identify and correct the imbalance causing the wobble — it's a precise and satisfying fix that most homeowners don't know is possible and that takes far less time than replacing the fan entirely. For fans that have failed beyond what adjustment and balancing can address, we'll assess whether repair or replacement makes more sense before any work begins.

Lockset & Deadbolt Installation A door lock that's stiff, sticky, or visibly worn is a security concern that's also surprisingly easy to address. Ironclad installs and replaces locksets, deadbolts, and door hardware on interior and exterior doors — including smart lock upgrades for homeowners who want keypad or app-controlled entry without the complexity of a full smart home installation. We make sure new hardware is aligned properly, latches and deadbolts throw cleanly, and strike plates are secured adequately — because a deadbolt that's installed in a poorly secured strike plate provides far less security than it appears to. If you're upgrading to a smart lock, we'll handle the installation and walk you through the setup so you're not left figuring out the app on your own after we leave.

Closet Makeover Sometimes what a space needs isn't a full renovation — it's a well-placed shelf, a properly hung cabinet, or a simple built-in solution that makes the space functional in a way it wasn't before. Ironclad handles minor carpentry and shelving work throughout the home — installing floating shelves that are actually level and properly anchored, hanging cabinets that are secure and plumb, building simple storage solutions in closets, laundry rooms, and utility spaces, and handling the small woodworking repairs that don't fit neatly into any other category. If it involves wood, fasteners, and making a space work better than it did before, it's likely something we can help with.

Attic Hatch & Pull-Down Stair Repair An attic hatch that is unstable and won't seal properly is both unsafe and wastes energy every day it's left unaddressed — conditioned air escapes into the unconditioned attic space continuously, adding to your heating and cooling costs month after month. Ironclad repairs and replaces attic hatches and pull-down stair assemblies that are damaged, poorly sealing, or structurally compromised — including adding weatherstripping and insulation to existing hatches that were never properly sealed in the first place. Pull-down stair assemblies that are loose, wobbly, or have broken springs or hardware are also a safety concern that gets addressed properly rather than patched temporarily. If your attic access situation has been one of those things you've been meaning to deal with, it's a faster and more affordable fix than most homeowners expect.

Odd Jobs & Miscellaneous Repairs Not every home repair fits a category — and that's exactly what this service is for. If something around your home is broken, loose, squeaky, sticking, leaking, falling off, or just not working the way it should, and you're not sure who to call about it, call Ironclad first. We've seen most of what a home can throw at a maintenance crew, and if it's something we can fix we'll tell you what it takes and get it done. If it turns out the job needs a specialist, we'll tell you that honestly and point you in the right direction. No runaround, no minimum charges for a conversation, and no judgment about how long the thing has been broken before you finally called someone.
