Shelving, garage door repairs and gutter work for people moving into a house in Paxton, plus blower door tests on new homes.
Settling into a Paxton house
Big Bend Services, Inc. takes work in Paxton, at the north end of Walton County, from our office in Wewahitchka. If the house is newly built, the blower door test is part of the build.
Call (850) 819-6031, Monday to Friday, 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM, or send the form. Tell us your move-in date, which job matters most to you, and a phone number for the person who will be at the house.

What you notice after moving in, and which service fixes it
The garage door is noisy, slow or goes back up by itself
Garage door repair.
Rain pours over the gutter edge or lands on the steps
Gutter work: cleaning, a repair or a downspout change.
Boxes have nowhere to go
Wire shelving for the closets, laundry room, pantry or garage.
Storage
Wire shelving for a house you are moving into
We supply the wire shelving and install it, and one room or the whole house can go on one quote.
Laundry room
Shelving over the washer and dryer, with a hanging rail for clothes as they come out of the dryer.
Reach-in closets
A shelf and rod set at heights for what hangs below and what sits on the shelf.
Walk-in closets
Shelving on several walls, with long hanging space for coats and short hanging space for shirts.
Garage
Wall shelving that gets boxes and tools off the floor, set clear of the garage door track and the opener.
Shelving heights for the laundry room and pantry
Tell us what kind of washer you have. A top-loading washer needs room above it for the lid to open, so the shelf over it sits higher than it would over a front loader. A dryer vent or water hookups on the wall behind the machines also affect where the shelf and rail go.
For the pantry, say what you keep there, such as canned goods, tall boxes or a mixer. Shelf levels are then spaced for those things.
Garage door
A garage door that grinds, rattles or will not lift
Grinding, scraping or rattling as the door moves points to worn rollers and hinges. A door that is suddenly too heavy to lift, after a loud bang, has a broken spring. Tell us which of these you have and whether the door opens at all.
Rollers and hinges
Worn rollers and hinges are replaced, and the door runs smoothly on its track again.
Spring
The broken spring is replaced.
Cable
A frayed or snapped lift cable is replaced.
Remotes and wall button
If the remotes that came with the house, or the button on the wall, do not work the door, the fault is on the opener side.
Crooked or off its track
A door that hangs lower on one side or has slipped out of its track is set back in line, and bent track sections are straightened or replaced.
Reversing
A door that goes back up before it closes has a safety sensor out of line or failed.
Gutters
Gutter cleaning and downspouts at a new address
Cleaning by hand
We clear the gutters by hand, flush each downspout so water runs through, and take the debris away with us.
Where the water lands
A downspout that empties beside the entry, onto a walkway or against a wall can be moved, extended or joined by another one.
Above ground only
Our drainage work stops at the downspout. Underground drain lines, French drains and yard grading are not part of it.
Leaks and sags
Gutter repair covers leaking corners and joints and runs that have dropped.
New beds or a patio planned
If you plan to put in planting beds, a patio or a walkway along the house, say where. Downspouts can be placed and extended to suit the new layout.
Newly built
Blower door test for a newly built Paxton house
The builder books it, or you do if you are building the house yourself.
Finishes and the reading
Paint, flooring, trim, cabinets and countertops do not change the result, so the test does not wait for them.
Setting the house up
Heating and cooling is off, interior doors stand open, and fireplace doors and all dampers are shut.
The number to beat
7 air changes per hour at 50 pascals, the Climate Zone 2 limit.
Over the limit
The leaks are corrected and the house is tested again.
Attached garage
A garage that is not heated or cooled is outside the test, and the wall and door between it and the house are part of the boundary.
Other roofs
Gutters for porches and a detached garage at a Paxton house
Porch roof
A short seamless run with a downspout set off to one side of the steps.
Detached garage or shed
Its own gutter and downspout, placed so water does not land in the doorway.
If you bought the house with an inspection report
If you bought the house with a home inspection report, pass on what it says about the gutters or the garage door along with your request. Notes such as a loose gutter section, a downspout that drains against the foundation or a garage door that does not reverse can each be matched to a repair.
