Clear Island Waters Case Study – Window Balance Replacement
Karen contacted SURVE after several double-hung windows throughout her Clear Island Waters home became difficult to operate. The windows would no longer stay open on their own and would unexpectedly slide closed.
After inspection, we identified worn and failed window balances as the cause of the issue. The windows were carefully dismantled, faulty balances removed, and new components installed. Each window was then adjusted to ensure smooth and reliable operation.
Once repairs were complete, the windows opened effortlessly and remained securely positioned at any height. We also serviced the window tracks and checked locking mechanisms to ensure full functionality.
Karen was delighted with the result and commented that the windows felt like new again. Another practical repair completed without the need for expensive window replacement.

Highly recommend! A highly skilled, professional handyman with a building background who provides excellent service!! As a female property owner with no handyman skills, I assembled my new dining set and attempted to put new light bulbs in my bunker lights on my balconies. My dining table and chairs the are now perfectly sturdy and safe, and the light bulbs are installed for my bunker balcony outdoor lights 🙏Posted on Google![]()

I contacted Surve after reading the positive reviews. We required a quick turnaround on various jobs at an empty investment property. Dan and Sue went out of their way to accommodate such a late notice request even working weekends to fit us in. Their communication was great, the itemised invoice and photos were very beneficial as we don't live close by and rely heavily on communication, photos and a professional operator. Highly recommended.Posted on Google![]()

Dan was the best. Not only was his work top quality, he communicated everything clearly and was a joy to have in the house. Sue was also great with prompt responses and booking queries. I can't recommend Surve Property Maintenance highly enough. They will be the first to call next time I need something.Posted on Google![]()

Handyman Clear Island Waters: Frequently Asked Questions
What are the most common handyman jobs in Clear Island Waters?
Sliding doors facing the water, rotten deck boards, sagging pergolas, and plaster cracks in 1980s lakefront and canal homes.
Do you repair decks and pergolas on waterfront homes in Clear Island Waters?
Yes. Moisture from the water is hard on outdoor timber. I replace rotten boards, joists, posts and handrails, fix loose fixings, and sand and re-coat the timber so it lasts.
Where can I find pricing, free quotes and booking times?
It’s all on our FAQ page: how the callout fee works, when quotes are free, rentals, commercial and strata work, and how soon I can come out.
