Marietta and East Cobb Handyman, Based Right Here in Marietta

Marietta is where Solve Handyman lives and works. Because our crew starts the day here, Marietta and East Cobb homes are the easiest for us to fit in, and this is where same-day openings show up most often. A sticking door in the morning or a ceiling fan that stopped working after a storm does not have to wait for a crew coming across town.

Being local also means we know the housing. Around the Marietta Square and along Church Street and Kennesaw Avenue there are historic homes with original trim and wood floors. Out toward Whitlock Avenue and Powder Springs Street you see mid-century ranches with carports and original bathrooms. Closer to Dobbins and along Delk Road and the I-75 corridor there are townhomes, apartments and rentals that turn over often.

East Cobb, along Johnson Ferry, Lower Roswell, Roswell Road, Paper Mill and Sope Creek, is full of established two-story traditional homes in swim and tennis communities. Many of these houses are now several decades old, and the repair list looks similar from street to street: wood siding and trim that rot near the ground, decks built decades ago with loose boards and wobbly railings, hollow-core doors that need replacing, dated light fixtures and builder-grade bathroom faucets that drip.

A lot of East Cobb neighborhoods also have HOA rules on exterior paint colors, fences and visible changes. We are happy to work from your HOA guidelines and keep repairs consistent with the rest of the street. Before an exterior paint job or fence replacement, it is a good idea to confirm approval with your association.

Marietta sits on Georgia red clay, and clay holds water. When gutters overflow, water soaks the soil next to the foundation, splashes red mud onto siding and slowly works into door thresholds, crawl space vents and deck posts. Clearing gutters and downspouts before the spring storms, and again after the leaves fall, is one of the most useful things a Marietta homeowner can do. We also pressure wash the red stain off siding, walkways and driveways, and replace rotted trim before it spreads.

Spring pollen is another Marietta ritual. That yellow film on porches, decks and screened rooms comes off with a gentle wash, and it is a good time to check caulk and paint on the sunny side of the house.

Marietta has a steady rental market, from single-family homes near Kennesaw Mountain to units close to Life University and the hospital area. For landlords and property managers, we offer one call for the whole make-ready: patching and painting, flooring and tile repairs, fixtures and hardware, deep cleaning and junk removal. Fewer vendors means fewer days with an empty unit. Older Marietta rentals near the Square often need extra attention to sticking windows, worn hardwood and tired bathrooms, and we can price those upgrades separately so you decide what is worth doing before the next lease.
