Handyman in Lake Nasworthy, San Angelo
Lake Nasworthy sits about six miles southwest of downtown on the South Concho River, with San Angelo Regional Airport just to the south and Knickerbocker Road leading out from town. West Texas Utilities built the dam in 1929 and 1930, and the lake took its name from John R. Nasworthy, who raised racehorses on the land before it was flooded and later sold it to the city. Twin Buttes Reservoir upstream has regulated the water coming in since the 1960s, and Farm Road 584 crosses the lake near its middle. Around the shoreline are roughly six hundred homes, many built on lots that were originally leased from the City of San Angelo, a history the Lake Nasworthy Homeowners Association still works through with owners today. The housing is wonderfully mixed: modest 1930s and postwar brick cottages and cabins, ranch and raised-ranch homes from the 1970s and 1980s, which is when a lot of the shoreline filled in, and newer lakefront houses with big windows, boat docks and covered decks. Streets like Fisherman's Road, South Concho Drive, Sleepy Hollow and Red Bluff wind along the water. Living this close to a lake brings its own maintenance: sun and reflected glare on every surface, damp wood near the waterline, and docks, decks and fences that see more weather than an in-town yard.
Life at the lake runs around the water and the parks. Mary E. Lee Park on the south shore has a beach, playground and boat ramp, Middle Concho Park spreads along the west side, and Spring Creek Park and Spring Creek Marina sit between them, with the Nasworthy Nights summer concerts drawing a crowd. Angelo State keeps a lake house on the shore, Goodfellow has a recreation camp for service members and their families, and fishermen work the coves for bass, crappie and catfish year-round. Lamar Elementary and Glenn Middle serve the families who live here full time, and the stores along Knickerbocker and Sherwood Way are a short drive back toward town. The airport's approach path passes nearby, and on a summer evening you'll hear boats and see grills going on half the decks along the shore.

Jobs we handle a lot around Lake Nasworthy
Most of our Lake Nasworthy work happens outdoors. We pressure wash decks, docks, walks and siding, replace worn boards and railings, repair fences and gates along property lines, and clean gutters and downspouts so runoff doesn't pool around foundations near the waterline. We also replace rusted exterior light fixtures and hardware, install outdoor-rated ceiling fans on covered porches and patios, and re-caulk windows and doors that take the full glare off the water. Inside, it's the usual mix of sticking doors, faucet and toilet repairs, drywall patches, TV mounting for the lake-view living room and shelving for fishing and boat gear in the garage.
Questions we hear in Lake Nasworthy
Can you work on a lake house we only use part of the year?
Yes. Plenty of Nasworthy homes are weekend or seasonal places, and small problems can sit unnoticed for months. We can open the house before the season by checking doors, faucets, toilets, fans and smoke alarms, cleaning gutters and washing decks and walks, and then do a closing visit in the fall to seal gaps, check for leaks and leave things ready for winter. If you're out of town, we'll send photos of what we found and what we fixed.
Do you repair decks, docks and outdoor stairs by the water?
We handle the repair side of it: replacing rotted or split deck boards, tightening and re-fastening railings, swapping corroded fasteners and hardware for coated or stainless ones, fixing gates and stair treads, and pressure washing and resealing wood. Structural rebuilds and anything involving the dock's pilings or the shoreline itself need a dedicated dock or marine contractor, and we'll tell you honestly when a job has crossed that line.
Why does outdoor hardware rust so fast at the lake?
Constant moisture near the water, sprinkler overspray and the big temperature swings of a West Texas year are hard on plain steel. Hinges, latches, light fixtures and screws start to stain and seize within a few seasons. When we replace them, we use stainless, galvanized or coated hardware and fixtures rated for wet locations, which costs a bit more up front but lasts far longer by the water.
