Based in Garland, TX, Legit Handyman is your local expert for all home repair and improvement needs. We understand the unique needs of Garland homes and provide fast, reliable service to our neighbors.
Garland is home base for Legit Handyman - we're not just serving this community, we're part of it. Located northeast of Dallas along I-635, Garland is Texas's 12th largest city with a wonderful mix of established neighborhoods from the 1960s-70s and newer developments near Firewheel. Most Garland homes feature traditional ranch-style layouts with attached garages, brick or brick-and-siding exteriors, and spacious yards. The area around Lake Ray Hubbard has beautiful lakefront properties with unique challenges like moisture control and specialized outdoor maintenance. As locals, we know Garland's building codes, understand the typical home construction styles in different neighborhoods, and can respond quickly throughout the city.
Being based in Garland gives us unique insight into local needs. We frequently repair drywall in older homes (1960s-70s construction) where settling has caused cracks around doorframes and windows. TV mounting is extremely popular in Garland's family-oriented neighborhoods - we mount everything from living room entertainment centers to garage workout area TVs. Door repairs and replacements are common as older homes need updated entry doors for better security and energy efficiency. Garage door maintenance and minor repairs come up regularly since most Garland homes have attached two-car garages that see daily use. Near Firewheel, we work on newer construction homes where residents want furniture assembly for their move-ins and smart home device installation.

What types of homes are most common in Garland?
Garland's housing stock is predominantly single-family ranch-style homes built between 1960-1980, especially in neighborhoods south of I-635. These typically feature 3-4 bedrooms, brick exteriors, attached garages, and pier-and-beam or slab foundations. North Garland has more newer construction from the 1990s-2000s with two-story layouts. The Firewheel area features modern developments with contemporary designs. Near Lake Ray Hubbard, you'll find custom lakefront properties. Each area has different handyman needs - older homes often need foundation repair referrals (which we can provide), drywall updates, and door replacements, while newer homes need furniture assembly, TV mounting, and smart home installations.
Do you service homes near Lake Ray Hubbard in Garland?
Absolutely! We regularly work on lakefront properties along Garland's portion of Lake Ray Hubbard. Lakefront homes have unique needs like moisture-related drywall repairs, outdoor furniture assembly that can withstand humidity, and secure mounting solutions for areas that see more moisture exposure. We're experienced with both the maintenance challenges of waterfront living and the luxury features common in these properties. We can also coordinate with your dock builder or other specialized contractors if you need multiple services.
Can you help with garage-related handyman work in Garland?
Yes! Since most Garland homes have attached garages, we do a lot of garage-related work. This includes installing pegboard storage systems, mounting bicycles and tools on walls, repairing drywall around garage door openers, fixing door seals, and assembling storage cabinets. While we don't repair automatic garage door openers (that requires a specialist), we can handle everything else from painting to organization systems to replacing garage entry doors to your house.
How familiar are you with Garland's different neighborhoods?
Extremely familiar - we live and work here! We know that South Garland has predominantly older, established homes with mature trees and original construction. North Garland features newer subdivisions with modern amenities. The Firewheel area is rapidly growing with contemporary homes and townhomes. Downtown Garland has historic properties mixed with newer developments. East Garland near Lake Ray Hubbard has waterfront estates. Each area has different common repair needs, and we've worked in all of them extensively.
