Coastal Fixture Replacement: Beating the Salt Air
In Rockport and Fulton, the salt air is a relentless neighbor. It’s a local reality that standard exterior lights, door handles, and faucets often begin to pit and corrode within just 2 to 3 years. At Corpus Christi Handyman, we specialize in Coastal Fixture Replacement.
We don't just replace like-for-like; we help you select "Salt-Ready" hardware. We focus on installing high-grade stainless steel, brass, and composite materials specifically designed to withstand the Aransas Bay atmosphere. Whether it’s refreshing your curb appeal with new porch lights or replacing a seized-up front door lock, we ensure your home looks sharp and functions perfectly despite the elements.
Plumbing Fixture Upgrades and Repairs
Salt spray doesn’t just stay outside—it finds its way into every corner of your home, affecting kitchen and bathroom hardware. If your faucets have lost their luster or your showerhead is clogged with mineral buildup, our Rockport Plumbing Repair services are here to help.
We specialize in installing high-quality, corrosion-resistant plumbing fixtures that stay beautiful longer. From fixing a leaky kitchen sprayer to upgrading a master bath with senior-friendly, easy-turn handles, we provide the expert touch your home deserves. We handle the small plumbing headaches before they turn into major water damage.
Senior Safety and Accessibility Home Modifications
Rockport is a premier destination for retirees, and we are proud to help our neighbors "age in place" comfortably and safely. Our Accessibility Modification services include the professional installation of grab bars, comfort-height toilets, and handrails.
We ensure that every installation is securely mounted into studs, providing the stability and peace of mind you need to navigate your home with confidence. If you’re looking to make your bathroom or entryway safer without sacrificing the aesthetic of your coastal home, our team has the experience to get the job done right.
Deck, Pier, and Exterior Maintenance
Living on the water means your exterior wood surfaces require constant vigilance. Between the blistering sun and the humidity of the bay, decks and boardwalks can quickly become safety hazards. We offer comprehensive Exterior Repairs including board replacement, railing reinforcement, and power washing.
By addressing loose boards and weathered stairs early, we help Rockport homeowners avoid costly full-scale replacements. We keep your outdoor spaces "Bay-Ready," ensuring your deck is always a safe place to enjoy the sunset.
Siding, Soffit, and Fascia Repairs
In the Rockport-Fulton area, the combination of high humidity and coastal winds can be brutal on your home's "skin." Over time, salt trapped in the crevices of your soffits and fascia can lead to wood rot and peeling paint, while wind-driven rain can compromise your siding. At Corpus Christi Handyman, we provide targeted Siding and Soffit Repairs to keep your home sealed and protected.
We specialize in identifying and replacing rotted wood before it spreads to your home’s structure. Whether you have traditional wood siding or modern fiber cement (HardiePlank), we ensure every repair is color-matched and properly sealed with high-quality, weather-resistant caulking. Keeping your eaves and siding in top shape isn’t just about curb appeal—it’s about protecting your investment from the next season of Gulf storms.
Window Screen and Sliding Door Maintenance
There is nothing quite like the breeze off Aransas Bay, but it comes with a cost: sand and salt that wreak havoc on your window screens and sliding glass doors. If your slider feels like it’s "grinding" or requires two hands to open, the culprit is usually salt-corroded rollers or a sand-clogged track. Our Sliding Door and Screen Maintenance service is a favorite for Rockport retirees who want to enjoy their views without the struggle.
We meticulously clean tracks, replace worn-out rollers with heavy-duty coastal variants, and ensure your doors glide with a single finger. We also offer professional rescreening for windows and patio doors using durable, salt-resistant mesh. Don’t let a sticking door or a torn screen keep you from enjoying the fresh air—we’ll get your home working as it should so you can relax and enjoy the coastal lifestyle.
FAQ
How often do I really need to replace my outdoor lights in Rockport?
In waterfront areas like Key Allegro or Fulton Beach Road, standard "big box store" aluminum lights often show signs of corrosion within 24 months. We recommend replacing them with composite or marine-grade stainless steel fixtures, which can double or triple that lifespan.
Can you help with "Lock-Outs" caused by salt-corroded door locks?
Yes! We frequently see locks that have literally "salted shut" because the internal tumblers have corroded. We provide replacement services for entry sets and deadbolts, and we always recommend using specific coastal-grade lubricants to keep your keys turning smoothly.
Do you provide services for seasonal residents?
Absolutely. Many of our Rockport and Fulton clients are here only part of the year. We can work with you to handle all your maintenance and "opening-up" tasks—like changing air filters, checking for leaks, and replacing batteries—so your home is perfect the moment you arrive.
My sliding glass door is impossible to open. Is it the salt?
Most likely. The salt air and sand grind down the rollers and tracks of sliding doors. We can often save you the cost of a full door replacement by cleaning the tracks and installing new, heavy-duty rollers to get your door gliding smoothly again.
Do you handle small "Punch List" items?
Yes. Whether it's hanging a heavy coastal mirror, fixing a cabinet hinge, or patching a small hole in the drywall, no job is too small for our Rockport team. We pride ourselves on helping you clear that nagging "to-do" list in a single visit.
