Frequently Asked Questions - Home Repairs

 

What types of home repairs does Basic Home Maintenance, a division of Miller’s Fancy Bath & Kitchen handle?

Miller’s Fancy Bath & Kitchen can assist with many common residential repair projects, including drywalling, tile repair, shower-door replacement, and entry-door repair or replacement. We can also help with smaller kitchen and bathroom repairs and improvements.

Do you take on small home-repair projects?

Yes. Not every home project requires a major renovation. Our Home Maintenance Division handles many basic residential repairs and smaller improvement projects that homeowners may have difficulty completing themselves or would prefer to have performed by an experienced professional.

Can you patch damaged drywall and repaint the repaired area?

Yes. We can evaluate damaged drywall, patch the affected area, prepare the surface, and paint the repaired section. The ability to match an existing wall color and texture depends on the age and condition of the original finish and whether the matching paint is available.

Can you repair cracked, loose, or damaged tile?

In many cases, damaged tile can be removed and replaced without renovating the entire room. The repair will depend on the condition of the surrounding surface and the availability of matching tile and grout. We can inspect the damaged area and recommend the most practical solution.

Can you replace an old or damaged shower door?

Yes. An old, damaged, or difficult-to-operate shower door can often be replaced with a new door that better fits the shower and the bathroom’s design. Accurate measurements are important to ensure that the replacement door works properly with the existing shower enclosure.

Can you repair or replace an exterior entry door?

Yes. We can evaluate an entry door that is damaged, difficult to open or close, or no longer fitting properly. Depending on its condition, the door may be repaired or replaced. We can help determine which option makes the most sense for the home.

 

Frequently Asked Questions - Home Improvements

What is considered a small home-improvement or remodeling project?

A smaller improvement project typically updates a specific part of a room without requiring a complete renovation. Examples may include replacing a kitchen countertop, converting a bathtub into a shower, updating part of a bathroom, replacing a shower door, or making selected improvements to an existing kitchen.

Can I update my kitchen without completing a full kitchen remodel?

Yes. A kitchen can often be improved without replacing everything in the room. Depending on the condition of the existing kitchen, improvements might include a new countertop, updated fixtures, selected cabinetry changes, tile repairs, painting, or other targeted upgrades.

Can kitchen countertops be replaced without replacing the cabinets?

In many kitchens, countertops can be replaced while the existing cabinets remain in place. The cabinets must be structurally sound, properly installed, and capable of supporting the new countertop. The sink, plumbing, backsplash, and countertop dimensions must also be considered.

Can you replace a bathtub with a walk-in shower?

Yes. Replacing an existing bathtub with a shower can make the bathroom more convenient, accessible, and comfortable. The project may involve removing the tub, modifying plumbing, preparing the walls and floor, installing the shower base or tile, and adding a new shower door and fixtures.

Can a bathroom be improved without completely removing everything?

Yes. Many bathrooms can be noticeably improved through selected updates rather than a complete renovation. Depending on the room’s condition, improvements may include replacing the vanity, countertop, shower door, fixtures, tile, lighting, or bathtub while leaving other features in place.

Can Miller’s install kitchen or bathroom products purchased through its showroom?

Installation assistance may be available through Miller’s Home Maintenance Division for selected kitchen and bathroom products purchased through the showroom. The installation requirements should be discussed before purchasing the product so the complete project can be properly evaluated.
