Metro Maintenance

Many times, homeowners don’t know who they should call about a problem they’re having or a project they would like to have done around the house. Their primary concerns are to find someone they can trust and that will do the job right at a fair price.

Years ago, in response to requests from our customers, Metro Maintenance decided to offer what many would call “handy man” services, with some big differences. All Metro employees are backed by insurance and our company gives a guarantee on all work performed.

At Metro, no job is too small. If you’ve knocked a hole in your wall, Metro can handle minor drywall repairs. Need a deadbolt lock installed? Windows or doors replaced? Want to add a deck?

The list of “general repairs” we offer is almost endless. Just give us a call, let us know what you’d like done, and we’ll provide you with an estimate.

Deadbolt Locks

Deadbolt locks add another level of security to your home. With deadbolt locks, the portion of the lock (called the bolt) that slides from the door into the door frame actually "dead locks." Whereas a simple door latch can often be pried open, sometimes even with a credit card, a deadbolt lock is designed to offer tremendous resistance to prying. It also offers more protection against forced entry.

Metro installs single cylinder locks (key on the outside, turn knob on the inside) and double cylinder locks (keys inside and out) on both wood and metal doors. Single cylinder locks allow easy exit, requiring only a twist of the turn knob; however, single cylinder locks should not be used on doors with or near window panels. It's too easy for an intruder to break the glass, reach around and open your lock. That's why double cylinder locks are sometimes necessary. An intruder, when breaking the glass, would still need a key to open a double cylinder lock from the inside. The disadvantage of a double cylinder lock is that occupants also need the key to open the lock. A special hiding place all occupants know about, near the locked door, is essential in the event of an emergency requiring a quick exit.

We finish the job!

Unlike many home maintenance companies, when you hear us say, “We finish the job,” that’s exactly what we mean. If a pipe inside one of your walls begins to leak, any plumber can repair the leak, and most likely leave you with a hole in your wall.

Metro technicians fix the leak, repair the drywall, and paint the repaired area. That’s the Metro difference… we fix the problem, AND get your home back into the condition it was in before the problem.
