Home Interior Handyman Help
When it comes to your home, the home interior is what you see the most. Sure, the outside is nice to look at, but due to the weather extremes in Nebraska, most of the time is spent inside. The home interior is where homeowners relax, keep their families safe, and make memories with friends and family. To continuously enjoy your home, interior spaces need to be comfortable, safe, and organized.
Task Helpers is here to help you save time on home interior projects that typically require multiple hands, multiple trips to the hardware store, and often more weekends than anticipated. From furniture assembly to mounting décor, moving bulky appliances, or setting up modern conveniences, we take care of the details so you can sit back and relax.
Assembly & Setup Help
Sometimes, building instructions are just confusing and time-consuming. Granted, they’ve improved over the years, but a lot of pre-built interior furniture that needs assembly (like IKEA) takes more time and energy than a Nebraska homeowner has. Because many parts look similar, a homeowner might nearly complete the entire project before realizing they used the wrong hardware.
We can help you save time, avoid lifting heavy boxes of furniture pieces, and place the furniture in your home interior right where you want it. We get the project done quickly, safely, and correctly the first time. We handle many assembly projects, as listed below.
Furniture Assembly
Nothing kills the curb appeal of a home more than poorly maintained landscaping—dead grass, overgrown weeds choking out other plants, and trees growing too close to the house. On the other hand, nothing makes a home look more inviting than a green lawn, tidy shrubs, and bright flowers that bring everything to life.
Whether maintaining already-great landscaping or looking to enhance the outside look of your home to make it look its best, our exterior services are here to help. Here are some of our areas of expertise:
It’s exciting to bring new furniture into your home without the hassle of it being fully built and difficult to move. However, some pieces of furniture can be quite large, heavy, and difficult to move around even before assembly. Some of the more common furniture that can be assembled include sofas, entertainment centers, chairs, kitchen tables, beds, and more.
Without help from friends, family, or neighbors, simply getting the pieces inside is a chore—not to mention moving them to an open area to assemble and then hauling them to their place in the home. Not only do we help get it into your home, but we also save you time, energy, and the frustration of building furniture..
General Mounting Services
Mounting furniture and décor on the wall is a great way to free up floor space, add variety to your home, and create more usable living space. A popular trend that has stood the test of time is floating shelves for figurines, trophies, awards, and books.
Other things that commonly need to be mounted are mirrors, blinds, and artwork. As many videos on YouTube and social media have shown, is just how much damage can occur when anything mounted on the wall isn’t done correctly. The resulting headache includes holes in the drywall, heavy decor falling, and potentially causing injury to younger family members.
To mount TVs, decor, or anything else on the wall, the right anchors, spacking, and leveling are required to ensure valued treasures don’t just slide right off, TVs don’t fall and break, and heavy furniture doesn’t fall. Our team of experts finds the studs, uses sheetrock anchors, and ensures everything is mounted in the right place.
What do homeowners get in return? A safe and well-styled home interior that reflects their personality. It doesn’t matter if it’s window treatments for privacy, mirrors to make the space feel bigger, or art accents to liven up a room - we’ll make your home interior look great.
Dishwasher Moving
Dishwashers are built to wash dishes, not to be carried around. In fact, the compact design often results in the units being heavy, awkward, and can easily strain the back of anyone lifting them. Not carried properly into or out of the home interior, scrapes and damage can happen to walls, floors, doors, and even the movers
Task Helpers not only do home interiors, but are also residential movers. We know a thing or two about moving awkwardly shaped items through homes without leaving a trace of ever being there.
Garbage Disposal Installation
Garbage disposals, also called insinkerators, food waste disposers, or even garberators, are wonderful inventions to grind up debris from going down your pipes. They help kitchen cleanup go faster by allowing homeowners to simply flip a switch and grind down the extras in the bottom of the sink instead of having to fish out the food.
Given their function and design, it can be tricky to install, given that it is an electrical unit that also has water running through it. To prevent electrical shock, possible fire hazards, and water damage, and ensure proper functioning, the installation needs to be done correctly.
To reduce guesswork, wasted time and money, or personal injury, our experts can swap out an old garbage disposal with a new one in no time. The new unit will help your home interior stay cleaner without the stress and hassle of doing it on your own.
Electric Mounting & Setup
Home automation and electrical devices helping with everyday life have become more common as technology advances. It is not uncommon for a home to have multiple electric devices connected in a home, requiring wifi, electrical outlets, and programming to function properly. Just some common devices found in an Omaha home include:
• Security Systems
• Wifi Routers
• Surround Sound
• Ceiling Fans
• Wall-Mounted Televisions
• Smart Speakers
• Ethernet Cords
• Home Office Monitors
• Projects
It can be hard for homeowners to install these electronic systems. Doing so means mounting them correctly, worrying about all the wires, carrying heavy units, and drilling walls to where the connections will be accessible in the home. These mountings can easily stretch well beyond one weekend.
Once the devices are in place, that is only half the battle. Now comes the hard part: programming. An Echo Dot is great to have, but it is useless unless connected to an Amazon account. Surround sound systems deliver amazing quality and subversive experiences only if everything is connected correctly.
We install these systems and devices all the time and can help with the process of ensuring the setup is completed before we leave, so homeowners can enjoy their home interior without staring at an expensive electronic that is just gathering dust and not working. We’ll save you time, aggravation, and stress.
In-Home Repairs & Fixes
Like most homeowners in Omaha, the homes purchased to live in are to make memories, not to be treated like a museum where nothing can be touched. However, living often involves messy kids, energetic pets, and wild football parties. With all that living in the home interior, a wall will inevitably be damaged, a light fixture will be unintentionally hit, and the carpet will show wear and tear.
The eventuality of homes needing small repairs means fixes are needed to keep the home interior looking sharp, functioning, and safe for those living there. However, due to work demons, school schedules, and extracurricular activities, these minor fixes often get delayed, neglected, or ignored until the issue at hand becomes too big to ignore.
Here are the most common fixes that a home interior needs:
Drywall Install & Repair
The #1 repair needed in most home interiors in Omaha is drywall. Drywall takes a beating over the years from heavy furniture being moved, kids roughhousing, adults losing their balance and landing against the wall, or cracks from foundations settling. However, when drywall needs to be repaired, it also involves mudding, taping, and painting.
Human accidents aren’t the only way that drywall can be damaged. Thanks to the wild Nebraska weather experienced every year, windstorms and drenching thunderstorms often bring flooding to the region, and homes with imperfect siding are perfect channels to let the outside rainwater creep into the home interior. Once water comes in contact with the drywall, it acts like a sponge, soaking up quite a bit.
To get back to the comfortable, warm, and safe home interior, our expert team helps cut out the bad drywall, replace it with new panels, and finish it off to look like the wall did before. They can also do installs on new home interior projects, renovations, and even new construction.
Door, Handle, & Knob Replacement
Door knobs and handles help secure the home, close off rooms to prevent fire damage, and provide privacy from the rest of the home. However, like most mechanical objects, door handles can wear out over time. Likewise, cabinet door handles and knobs allow the protection of plates and other sets from falling, and cover all the tableware with cabinet doors to allow items to be within reach, but not viewable.
Whether out of necessity, ease, or for a fresh look, replacing the hardware on the wall and doors will need to get done. Our professionals can replace all door hardware, including any interior doors, for homeowners. The process includes removal of the old, installation of the new, and cleaning up the space so homeowners can sit back and enjoy the new.
Light Bulb & Fixture Replacement
Popular in the Omaha area are chandeliers and other light fixtures either installed in or hanging from high clearance ceilings. The idea of changing a lightbulb is simple (unscrew and remove the old one, replace it with the new one), but accessing those lightbulbs isn’t so much. Those hard-to-reach fixtures require ladders, balance, and the ability to carry all the necessary items up the ladder.
It doesn’t matter whether the new lightbulbs and fixtures are for energy saving, fire prevention, or a new style to freshen up the look of the home interior; we can get it done. The process will remove and discard the old, install the new, and do it so that there are no electrical issues or fire hazards.
Cabinet, Window, or Screen Repairs
Cabinets are wonderful for kitchens, bathrooms, and other areas to beautifully store items. However, with repeated use, they are prone to doors loosening, hinges breaking, or the outside finish wearing off. Likewise, even the most durable windows wear down from both the inside and the outside over time. Common offenders are the expansion or contraction of the home, hail, severe weather, and people accidentally bumping items against them.
Screens also take a beating from wind, hail, relentless Midwest bugs during the summer months, pets, and so on. Given that they’re thin, it’s also easy to snag against and rip them apart.
We can restore your cabinets, windows, and screens to their proper condition. Our services repair or replace your home's interior openings so you can get back to enjoying your space.
Grout Caulking, and Small Flooring Fixes
What makes a house a comfortable home is being properly built, sealed, and regulated. Sealing the outside of the home prevents pests from coming in and costly utility air from leaving. Caulking is used around doors, windows, tubs, sinks, and counters. On home interiors, their primary objective is to fill the gap to prevent air, water, and pests from freely traveling between walls and fixtures. However, due to the nature of fillers like caulking, the ability to fill the gaps lessens over time.
Like caulking, grout is used to fill the space between tiles to create a smooth, sealed surface while preventing water and debris from getting into the floorboards. Over time, grout between tiles in kitchens and bathrooms can wear, stain, or crack. Unfortunately, replacing grout isn’t just slapping another layer over existing grout, but a complete removal of it. When replaced correctly, it protects surfaces from water damage, provides a smooth feel, and refreshes the look of the rooms.
Replacing caulking and grout can be detailed work, but when done correctly, it instantly refreshes tile surfaces and makes them look brand new again. When it comes to floors, trim, and sealing, these small details add up to big improvements in the overall appearance and durability of your home. Task Helpers takes care of these time-consuming projects so you don’t have to.
Home Improvements
What if the home interior isn’t broken or needing repair, but needs to be upgraded? Well, home improvements aren’t just upgrades but investments in comfort, style, and functionality. Every room in your home is an opportunity to reflect the homeowner’s personality while also being safe and efficient for their family. From small touch-ups to major updates, these improvements create a beautiful living space.
The challenge is that most improvements take more time, money, and expertise than homeowners expect. Painting that “quick accent wall” often turns into an all-day project, and installing shelves or flooring requires more tools than most people have. When left unfinished or done incorrectly, these home interior improvement projects can end up costing more to fix than if they were done right the first time.
We’re here to help with all home interior improvements that you want to have done. Just to get a taste of some of the work we do, here are a few highlighted project types below:
Painting & Touchups
Because color elicits an emotional response, most restaurant logos feature white, red, and yellow. In fact, psychologists have studied how colors can make people feel more relaxed, competitive, and more. So, it’s scientifically proven that a fresh coat of paint will transform the look and feel of a room more than anything else.
What’s great about painting and touch-ups is that they can cover imperfections, blend sections, or create a statement. After all, if the wall is a dark blue, the trim can be a brilliant white, acting like a frame around a beautiful piece of art. Either way, our professionals can paint new life into your home interior without leaving a mess.
Installing Closet Organizers and Shelves
Another fact is that clutter causes anxiety and stress amongst homeowners. Not only is clutter unsightly, but it also becomes a big mess when sifting through, and it is often a fire hazard. Closets, pantries, and storage areas are notorious for clutter. The solution is closet organizers and shelves.
By creating a designated space for belongings, items become easier to find, quicker to access, and safer from being stepped on. Task helpers select the right shelves and organizers to fit your home, securely anchor them to the wall, and clean up afterward—giving homeowners instant access to more space.
Weatherstripping & Insulation
The weather in Omaha is not for the faint of heart. In winter, wind chills can plunge to -30°F, only to swing in summer to heat warnings with feels-like temperatures above 110°F and 100% humidity. Because of the extreme wind, humidity, and temperature shifts, homes naturally expand and contract throughout the year—creating gaps that allow the outside weather to seep in.
Weatherstripping is installed around windows and doors to reinforce installation by reducing drafts, preventing energy from leaking out of the home, and keeping the home’s temperature constant. This helps lower energy bills and increases the lifespan of HVAC systems. We can install it all for you.
Hanging Artwork & Decor
Trying to hang artwork on your own can take time, energy, and may even cause damage. Art pieces, especially those made of canvas, are susceptible to tears, unwanted stretching, and need to be hung properly. If not done professionally, the artwork will be off-center, not level, and become an eyesore. Transversely, when done correctly, beautiful artwork (like Emily Walker Studio in Omaha) can transform walls and make them a pleasing focal point.
Whether it is canvas art, décor, or any other decoration, Task Helpers helps homeowners by preventing unnecessary holes in the wall, moving the art with care, and installing it safely so it’ll stay on the wall for as long as you want it there.
Flooring Upgrades
Other than walls, floors take the most abuse from foot traffic, items accidentally dropped, and daily wear and tear. However, with the amount of visual space that flooring takes, upgrading it can refresh a room and transform its feel. For those who don’t want to eat on carpet or just have a worn-out carpet that needs to be upgraded, we can come in and replace carpeted areas with hard flooring. Options include tile, wood, faux wood, vinyl, and more.
From crown moulding to bathroom vents, we handle the detailed touches that enhance your home’s style and safety.. Task Helpers handles flooring upgrades with care, ensuring everything is done smoothly and correctly. Whether it’s installing, refinishing, or cleaning, we’ll leave your floors looking their best.
Small Accents
Sometimes, the smallest upgrades make the biggest difference. One small accent that has begun to gain traction in Nebraska is extra lighting. That lighting can be under-cabinet LEDs or strip lights, man cave lighting, or stair lights to ensure that elderly residents don’t fall during the night. Framing or reframing artwork is a great way to bring fresh attention to existing pieces. With the right frame, a piece can leap off the wall and spark the viewer’s imagination.
In kitchens, old, outdated backsplashes can cause quite an eyesore. However, new tile and coloring can help the counters pop while stylishly protecting the walls. From tile to glass, Task Helpers installs backsplashes that are functional and beautiful. From crown moulding to bathroom vents, we handle the detailed touches that enhance your home’s style and safety.
