Hickory Fix It LLC

Some cedar siding repair and touch up paint- what a beautiful spring day!

My favorite employee enjoyed backfilling today. Paid in Dino nuggets and a matchbox.

Another one! Custom size calls for custom problems.

Previous 1948 door was 84" high. Reframed the opening, purchased a stock door and wrapped in trim coil to mimic the rest of the doors. Safe, sealed and guaranteed.

The second photo is the previous door, well past its prime.

Swapped out the old rotten patio door for this new Jenkins Millwork on Friday. New treated jamb and PVC brick mould, will stand the test of time!

Spent the day crawling around under a house here in the Hickory area. These are the jobs you don't see, but they matter the most.
​We tackled two big issues down here today:
​1. Fire Safety:
The "Before" picture shows why you don't want that cheap flexible hose for your dryer vent. It sags, traps lint, and becomes a legit fire hazard. I tore that mess out and installed rigid metal ductwork. It’s straight with only one turn, so the air (and lint) actually gets out like it should.
​2. Moisture:
The old plastic on the ground was basically shredded trash. I hauled it all out and put down a thick 12-mil v***r barrier with taped seams. I also installed a fan with a built-in humidistat to keep the air moving automatically so mold doesn't stand a chance.
​It’s dirty work, but I sleep better knowing this house is safer and drier now. If you haven't looked under your house in a while (or are too scared to look), give me a shout.

Finishing the year off high in the sky!

Every day is something new and I absolutely love new challenges and jobs. Today using a boom lift I mounted a satellite for a customer.

Do you have a unique project in mind? Not exactly sure who to call? Id love to help.
