Remodeling 💸Basements: Making The Most of Every Square Foot
Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist🏡 The Perfect In-Law Suite
After losing my husband it has been a struggle trying to maintain what was supposed to be our ‘forever’ home. When I called The Trusted Toolbox, I was not sure what to ask for or where to start. It was so easy to work with the entire company. John Costello was just the icing on the cake. Great job and thank you!

Investing in Place: Small Repairs That Protect Long-Term Value
Summer is when your home gets used the most. Backyard barbecues, kids running in and out, guests visiting, and Georgia’s heat and humidity can all leave their mark. Take a quick walk around your home and see if you spot any of these common summer maintenance issues:
☀️ Your deck has seen one too many cookouts. Loose boards, wobbly railings, popped nails, or splintered wood are common after months of heavy foot traffic. A few repairs now can help keep your outdoor space safe and ready for the rest of the season.
☀️ Doors that suddenly don’t want to cooperate. Humidity can cause doors to swell, making them stick, rub, or refuse to latch properly. It’s a small annoyance that usually has a simple fix.
☀️ Exterior trim looking a little rough? Peeling paint, cracked trim, or soft wood around windows and doors can be early signs that it’s time for a little maintenance before bigger repairs are needed.
☀️ Outdoor lighting not pulling its weight. Summer evenings are meant to be enjoyed outside. If porch lights, landscape lighting, or motion lights have stopped working, now’s a great time to brighten things back up.
☀️ Your to-do list keeps getting longer. Whether it’s replacing a mailbox, repairing drywall, installing a ceiling fan, fixing loose hardware, or tackling a handful of small projects, they all add up.
Skip the weekend repair marathon! Our Handyman For A Day package is one of the easiest ways to knock out several home repairs in a single visit. Send us your list, and we’ll take care of the projects while you enjoy the rest of your summer.
The entire experience was fantastic. Andrew Jones was very experienced and professional. He did a great job replacing an outdoor spigot and running a water line thru a wall for a new outdoor spigot. He was very tidy and his craftmanship is top notch. Will definitely use The Trusted Toolbox for future projects at our home.

This was our first time using The Trusted Toolbox and we will definitely be a repeat customer. From the ease of getting an estimate by video, quick scheduling and responsiveness, the office was great to work with. Dwight who repaired our closets was on time, did excellent work, cleaned up the work area and was an all around nice guy.

If multi-generational living is in your future, now is a great time to think about accessibility features that promote safety, comfort, and independence.

We had Travis Coulbourne address a leak in our master bathroom shower. He was very kind, professional, communicative, and did a great job. He was very understanding of our needs and what we were looking for and really kept that in mind throughout the project. I appreciate Travis and The Trusted Toolbox for the quick turnaround!
