Happy Friday, friends! Hope you all had a solid week and are heading into the weekend strong.

Kicked things off by helping my wife with wedding setup at The Big Red Barn in Pflugerville. Big congrats to the Valentine’s Day couple. Nothing like love in the air… and a husband hauling tables.

Now onto the home projects.

First up, bathroom glow-up. We swapped out some dated fixtures for clean, modern lighting. Amazing what better light can do. It’s like your bathroom had its morning coffee.

Next, pendant lights in the kitchen. Out with the builder-grade basics, in with something that actually makes a statement. Lighting sets the tone more than people realize. If your kitchen feels “meh,” chances are the lighting is part of the problem.

And finally, three older but still-working ceiling fans got replaced with sleek new 3-blade fans. Yes, the old ones worked… but so does a flip phone. Sometimes it’s okay to upgrade.

Last little upgrade that might be my favorite: the pantry light switch was outside the pantry. We moved it inside and installed a motion sensor switch. Open the door, light turns on. Close it, off it goes. We also added an outlet inside to charge a battery-powered vacuum. Small change, big convenience. Make life easier on yourself. You deserve it.

As always, if something in your home feels outdated, awkward, or just plain annoying, there’s usually a simple fix. Let’s make your house work for you.

Five years already?! Somehow Handy Andy RR made it to the 5-year mark without burning the place down… so I’ll call that a win.

Over the years I’ve met so many amazing people and taken on a wide range of projects. Some were straightforward, some had me standing there thinking, “Well… this is a new one.” But every job has been worth it. I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who has trusted me in their home, around their pets, and with projects big and small. The conversations, laughs, and stories along the way have been just as rewarding as the work itself.

I truly love what I do, and that’s 100% because of you. Your trust, support, and referrals have kept me busy, motivated, and trucking along for the past five years. At this point, I feel like I’ve got extended family all over town, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

And of course, I couldn’t do this without my wife, Karla. She’s been my biggest supporter, my voice of reason, and the one reminding me it’ll all work out when business throws a curveball.

Thank you all for being part of this journey. Here’s to more projects, more problem-solving, and hopefully fewer “how did this even happen?” moments… but no guarantees 😄🔧

Not a ton of pictures this time, but trust me, a whole lot got done. 😅

First up, we replaced all the original faucets in this home. They were dated and ready for retirement. The new single-hole faucets look cleaner, feel more modern, and even improved water pressure. Quick pro tip: if your pressure is weak, check and clean your aerators before blaming the plumbing gods.

Next came fans. Lots of fans. When the homeowner moved in, there were only two in the entire house, and somehow none in the living room or primary bedroom. That’s a Texas emergency. 🌞 Now the whole home has proper airflow, which should honestly be standard down here, especially once summer hits.

We also handled some electrical work, including breaker replacements. Eaton Gen 2 dual-function breakers (AFCI & GFCI) are known for failing. You can buy new ones, or you can call Eaton directly and get replacements (free of charge) if you’re patient enough to survive the phone hold music.

Last job was a spigot replacement. The old one had failed and the vacuum breaker had seen better days. We replaced everything, including the spigot, insulation, and escutcheon plate, so it’s sealed up, protected, and ready for Texas weather to do its worst.

Bottom line: faucets upgraded, airflow handled, electrical issues addressed, and leaks prevented. One more home ready to take on Texas weather without breaking a sweat. 💪

Hi everyone! With below-freezing temps, ice, and sleet headed our way, it’s time for the annual Texas winter ritual. Stock up on water, food, toilet paper for the next three years, and maybe say a small prayer over the generator to make sure it’s ready.

One of the simplest (and cheapest) things you can do to protect your home is to put a hose bib cover on your outdoor faucets. And yes, disconnect your hoses. Frozen pipes are not a fun surprise, and they never show up at a convenient time.

Those little covers can be found at any big box store and can save you from an expensive “well, that escalated quickly” plumbing moment. Stay warm, stay safe, and if winter wins this round, you know who to call.

Hey everyone! Hope you all had a great holiday and a solid start to the new year. We’ve been busy with family and festivities, but still squeezing in plenty of work along the way. Here’s a quick look at what we’ve been up to. Enjoy!

• Installed a closet shelf with added dowel rods for extra hanging space.
• Replaced another microwave. They really don’t make them like they used to.
• Insulated outdoor spigots. The Texas sun is brutal on escutcheon plates and insulation.
• Made a custom name sign for some clients who are expecting. Big congrats to them.
• Mounted a massive custom shelf for a client’s son. Pretty sure I’ll need his autograph one day.
• Finished a full-perimeter shelf to show off an incredible car collection. This one was fun.

As always, thanks for following along and trusting Handy Andy with your projects.

Stepping into the New Year like this.

Wishing everyone a healthy, happy, and successful year ahead. Here’s your reminder to keep moving forward. In life, in business, and yes, in your home too.

If 2026 is the year you finally tackle those repairs, upgrades, or projects you’ve been putting off, Handy Andy is ready to help you make it happen. Small fixes, big improvements, solid results.

Let’s build something better this year. Happy New Year!

🎄 Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays 🎄

If something breaks today, don’t worry, that’s just your house getting into the holiday spirit. Doors squeak, outlets quit, and something always waits until guests arrive.

Enjoy the day, the food, and the chaos. When the decorations come down and the honey-do list comes back up, we’ve got you covered.

As the holidays sneak up on us, everyone’s in full prep mode getting the house guest-ready.

A little before-and-after action for you:

First up, this pedestal sink had seen better days. Since it was already broken, it was the perfect excuse for an upgrade. We swapped it out for something a little fancier with bonus storage. Big fan of this color combo too.

Next, we replaced several window sills in this home. Turns out the pups, in their younger years, preferred sills over chew toys. Good news is the dogs have matured… the sills finally get a break.

Lastly, this ceiling fan was mounted to a standard electrical box, which isn’t rated to hold fan weight (usually elec boxes are only good for 10lbs max). That’s a no-go. We removed the old box and installed a steel brace properly rated to support the fan, so it’s safe, solid, and worry-free.

Wishing everyone a warm, safe, and wonderful holiday season. 🎄

Sharing a couple recent jobs from the week.

First up, this ceiling light fixture. The supports had completely given out (probably due to heat over the years causing the electrical box to crack and break). We pulled the fixture down and swapped everything over to a heavy-duty steel brace so it’s solid for the long run.

Next, shelving. People think shelves are simple, and they mostly are, but the details matter. Use the right hardware. Skip the cheap plastic anchors and either hit studs or use proper toggles so the shelf can actually hold weight. Then grab the laser level and make sure everything lines up clean both ways.

Lastly, a fresh faucet and a new TV mount. The original faucet was spraying everywhere except the sink, so the homeowners went with a similar style that actually listens when you wash your hands. The TV went up nice and clean, and they chose a cord cover to keep the power wire tucked away.

Hope your week’s going smooth.

Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving from Handy Andy!
Hope your day is filled with good food, good company, and zero DIY emergencies.

If your turkey ends up needing “structural support,” your kitchen drawer suddenly gives up on life, or your in-laws point out that one crooked shelf… don’t worry. I’ve got you covered (after I finish my pie).

Grateful for all of you who trust me with your homes. Enjoy the day, and may all your leftovers fit in the fridge without a fight.

Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃🛠️🍁

Happy Friday, everyone. Any good weekend plans, or are we all pretending we’re finally going to “catch up on chores”?

Here’s a peek at what I’ve been up to:

• The giant canvas of the week. This art was the same size as a sheet of plywood (just a lot prettier and lighter weight). Took some extra time to get it level (measure twice 😉), but once it was up, the whole room woke up.

• For the grab bars, we added wrap-around trim so we could mount them exactly where they needed to be. Yes, I did a couple body-weight dips on them. Yes, they passed.

• Framed out a builder-grade mirror and hit it with a matte black finish and a clean chamfer inside. Trickier than I expected, but it turned out slick.

• And then there’s dryer vent cleaning. Not my favorite task, but it’s basically the unsung hero of home safety. Glamorous? No. Important? Absolutely.

Enjoy the weekend, and I hope it treats you better than your laundry pile does.

Some of you may not know, but one of my big passions is woodworking. Though “woodworker” can mean a lot of things, I really enjoy making smaller pieces, custom signs, coasters, trays, and other personalized projects. There’s something satisfying about getting in the shop, chopping some wood, and watching a plain block turn into something beautiful.
