May is National Deck Safety Month

How Safe is Your Deck?

According to NADRA (North American Deck and Railing Association), it is estimated that 50% of decks in the U.S. are past their useful life and need to be replaced or repaired. It's important for you as a homeowner to check the integrity of your deck ... for safety reasons, prolonging the life span, and just taking care of your investment.

The Trusted Toolbox is a NADRA Certified Contractor and we love decks! We can help answer any inspection questions you have and make all of the necessary repairs. Our Estimators and Project Managers work together to repair, design, and build your deck. Our goal is to stay on budget and complete the project on time.

NADRA offers consumers a step-by-step guide to visually inspecting the deck for safety concerns such as corroding fasteners, decaying materials, loose railings, inadequate lighting, and more. For your printing pleasure ...

"After contacting two other similar handyman services and having both of them flaked on us, Trusted Toolbox came to the rescue. Our technician, John, did an amazing job installing a dishwasher, garbage disposal, and bathroom vanity. He was polite, professional, and knew exactly what he was doing. We'll be using Trusted Toolbox for all our handyman needs and recommending them as well!"

"Best service and quality EVER! They were professional in every aspect, from the estimate, the project manager, the cleanliness and care they took while in my house, advance calls, being on time, adhering to the schedule they provided me, the suggestions they made to make the project better, the added value of making it perfect before they left by unexpectedly replacing trim pieces on the floor and painting the walls around the tile without being asked. I will not hesitate to call them again for any project in my home."

Quality, Responsiveness

I am so lucky to have found The Trusted Toolbox. They were wonderful to work with – the scheduling, the estimate, the payment, etc. And the handyman assigned to do my jobs could not have been better. I highly recommend Andrew. I have NEVER had anyone do work who was more conscientious, knowledgeable, capable, and considerate of my needs. My job became more complicated than we had first thought, but Andrew was determined to figure out how to do it the most efficient and cost-effective way. Which he did! And he was so cognizant of not inconveniencing me. And clean--- he even brought his own trash bag and kept his shop vacuum handy to clean up every particle of dirt. Andrew bought Scott to help one day, and I noticed how well they worked together – each contributing to ideas and the work. Such a work ethic these men have. Thank you, Trusted Toolbox and Andrew.

Punctuality, Quality, Responsiveness, Value



We needed some outdoor stairs rebuilt, some planks replaced on our deck, and some painting done in preparation for selling our house. Michael Freeman from The Trusted Toolbox worked for two days on our home and was wonderful to work with. He was kind, efficient, on time, paid perfect attention to detail, and even took the time to show my inquisitive 5 year old what he was doing. We highly recommend!

Between the weather and the coronavirus, there is a lot of "noise" that could be distracting us from our day to day lives. If we focus on the basics we will all be better off. Make sure we are practicing good hygiene, and taking care of our health so we will not be prone to falling ill. Similarly, our homes need to be treated with the same level of care to make sure that the water doesn't create unwanted damage, or pests don't find ways into our homes and wreak havoc. To keep the noise from helping you maintain your house, give us a call to help you keep up with your house hygiene. Stay Healthy Everyone!

We hope to see you at the Atlanta Home Show. We will be highlighting our bathroom remodeling based on trends that we have seen over the past year. Come see our AWARD winning team between March 20th to the 22nd.

Had a Great experience with Trusted Toolbox... they came out and replaced our disappearing staircase in the garage and did a fantastic job. They were professional, on time, and a good price for the job. John was the representative doing the work for us and did a wonderful job and I believe he went above and beyond to make sure it was installed correctly, did a great finishing job and then made sure everything was cleaned up and hauled off. Will be using Trusted Toolbox again in the future.

Welcome to the New Year and New Decade . If your house is more than a decade old, the maintenance and current style may be slipping. January is good time to plan for the year for home repairs and maintenance. It is also a good time to check out your deck, bathroom and kitchen areas to see if it is time to enhance your home and bring in some of the new styles, colors and upgrades.

RENOVATE TO ENJOY BEFORE SELLING. This is one of the smartest things I have seen from 2 of our customers this past year. Both had renovations done to their master bathroom and kitchen areas 3-5 years ago and were able to enjoy the space before they sold this past year. We helped them with the punch list on the sale and one of the customers said "We were able to enjoy the master bathroom and we think we were able to recoup a good portion of that investment."

Since we started we have worked with over 10,000 customers. So as Farmers Insurance says "We know a thing or two because we have seen a thing or two." We are constantly training and keeping up with trends and new products. So if you would like to have us be involved, we would love to

"IDEATE" with you on your space.
