Recent Work

Every project I take on reflects the same values that built Iron Buffalo Handyman — quality, reliability, and pride in craftsmanship. From small repairs to detailed home improvements, I treat every job as if it were my own. Here are a few recent projects that showcase the kind of work and care you can expect.

Kitchen Recessed Lighting Upgrade

This project involved replacing outdated can lights with new, modern recessed fixtures that feature a built-in night light option. Using the existing wiring and openings, the installation provided a clean, efficient upgrade without major electrical work — giving the kitchen a brighter, more modern look.

Recessed Lights — Night Light Feature

The new fixtures include a soft night light mode that adds warmth and visibility in the evenings. It’s an energy-efficient way to keep the space comfortably lit after dark while highlighting the clean finish of the updated ceiling.

Drywall Repair – Before

After a plumbing repair, the wall behind this client’s washer and dryer was left with a large opening — about three feet long and two feet wide — exposing the new valve box and framing. The plumbing company’s work was complete, but the drywall patch and finish were not covered by insurance, leaving the homeowner with a major hole in her laundry room wall.

Drywall Repair – After

The damaged section was fully rebuilt with new drywall, taped, textured, and painted to blend seamlessly with the surrounding wall. The finished result restored the space completely — smooth, clean, and ready for use — leaving no sign that a repair had ever been needed.

Underground Water Line Repair

A client experienced a major water leak under their driveway caused by an aging poly pipe. After carefully digging out the damaged section, the faulty line was cut back and replaced with durable new PEX piping. The repair restored full water pressure and prevented further leaks — all without needing to replace the entire line or driveway.

Shed with Old Siding

This shed had worn, weathered siding that was beginning to fail from years of exposure. The panels were soft in spots, and the trim showed signs of water damage. Before starting, the structure was inspected and prepped for replacement to ensure a lasting repair.

New Shed Siding

The old siding was fully removed and replaced with durable new panels, properly sealed and trimmed for a clean, finished look. This upgrade not only restored the shed’s appearance but also improved its protection from the elements for years to come.

Exterior Siding Project – Weatherproofing Phase

Before new siding went up, the home was fully wrapped and sealed for maximum weather protection. Every seam of the house wrap was carefully taped, with proper flashing and waterproofing applied around all doors, windows, and penetrations. This attention to detail ensures the structure stays dry, energy-efficient, and built to last — the most important step before siding installation even begins.

Exterior Siding Project – Completed

The finished result features new T1-11 siding, chosen to match the existing style of the home for a seamless, uniform look. All panels were trimmed, caulked, and primed, then finished with two coats of durable exterior paint for a weather-tight seal. This upgrade brought both fresh curb appeal and long-term protection, blending craftsmanship with lasting function.

Before – Limited Access to Upper Area

The steep hill made it difficult and unsafe to reach the upper part of the property, especially after rain or when carrying tools and supplies. Without a stable pathway, the area was hard to use and posed a slipping hazard.

After – Safe, Sustainable Steps Installed

To improve safety and access, we built a sturdy set of steps made entirely from recycled materials, including bamboo composites. These eco-friendly steps create a safe, reliable way to reach the upper area while blending naturally into the surrounding landscape.

Ceiling Fan Installation – Modern Upgrade

This project involved installing a sleek, modern ceiling fan on a 15-foot ceiling — a perfect blend of function and style. The updated fixture provides improved air circulation and energy efficiency while giving the space a clean, contemporary look. Secure mounting and balanced installation ensure smooth, quiet performance and lasting reliability.
