Restoring Comfort and Care: Local Handyman Helps Wareham Home Recover After Water Damage

May 6, 2025

WAREHAM, MA – When a leak in the roof of a South Coast home caused significant ceiling damage, the result wasn’t just unsightly—it was a disruption to the comfort and energy efficiency of the entire space. Thanks to the prompt work of Alton Barnes Handyman Services, that household is now fully restored, and better insulated than ever.

The Wareham-based home experienced water damage that soaked through the ceiling drywall, compromising not just the structure but also the insulation above it. “It’s the kind of issue that can seem overwhelming to a homeowner,” said Mack, owner of Alton Barnes Handyman Services. “But for us, it’s an opportunity to bring things back better than before.”

The project involved carefully removing damaged drywall, installing new ceiling insulation, and adding rafter baffle proper vents in the attic—an essential but often overlooked component of long-term home health. These vents help ensure airflow in the attic, reducing moisture buildup and improving energy efficiency throughout the seasons.

Beyond the tools and materials, Mack said the job is really about peace of mind. “When we leave a home, we want the family inside to feel safer and more secure,” he shared. “Especially when the damage comes from something as unsettling as a roof leak.”

This recent project is part of a growing trend among South Coast homeowners who are taking advantage of spring to repair winter damage and improve their homes’ performance before the heat of summer sets in.

Alton Barnes Handyman Services continues to serve Wareham and surrounding communities with a focus on care, detail, and lasting results. As Mack puts it, “It’s not just fixing ceilings—it’s restoring comfort, one home at a time.”
