Kalamazoo Handyman Services to Keep in Mind for Winter

December 28, 2025

Winters in Kalamazoo are known for being cold, snowy, and potentially harmful to your home. Here at Magnuson Handyman Services, we aim to be your number one option for any potential issues that arise for your home in the wintertime.

In this month’s blog, we’re discussing several of our services you should keep in mind for winter.

Doors & Windows

Your home’s doors and windows can develop a wide range of problems in the winter because of cold drafts and shifting temperatures, which can lead to jammed or misaligned doors and windows. Our repair services can help ensure proper sealing and smooth operation, even when weather outside is frightful.

Here’s the doors and windows services we offer:

  • Window glazing
  • Screen replacements
  • Installations and repairs
  • Lock and doorknob replacements
  • Weatherproofing and draft sealing
  • Trim painting, replacement, and installation

Exteriors

Maintaining your home’s exterior is essential to prevent environmental damage and keeping your home’s interior safe. Between freezing rain, snow buildup, and icy winds, exterior surfaces can take a beating.

By calling upon Magnuson Handyman Services, we can help safeguard siding, trim, and other vulnerable areas before winter worsens any damage. Here’s a full list of our exterior services:

  • Roof patching
  • Pressure washing
  • Mailbox mounting
  • Roof and siding repairs
  • Gutter cleaning and repair
  • Fence installation and repair

Plumbing

Here at Magnuson, we believe that reliable, high-quality plumbing is essential for any household, especially in winter. Cold temperatures can lead to pipes freezing or bursting.

Magnuson’s plumbing services are useful for inspecting insulation, fixing leak-prone pipes, and making sure your water lines are winter-proof. Here’s a list of our plumbing services:

  • Drain unclogging
  • Pipe replacement
  • Water pressure repairs
  • Water heater installation
  • Leak detection and repair
  • Garbage disposal installation and repair

Painting & Staining

In Southwest Michigan, it’s no surprise that we have some of the coldest winters. Winter weather can crack and wear painted surfaces on decks, trim, and exteriors, so fresh paint or protective stains applied before the freeze-thaw cycles set in can preserve your wood and prevent costly repairs later.

Here’s a list of our painting & staining services:

  • Interior & exterior painting
  • Fresh coats on walls and trim
  • Drywall patching and painting
  • Furniture painting and staining
  • Surface preparation and priming
  • Wallpaper installation and removal
