Handyman in Cecil B. Moore / Temple, Philadelphia
Around Temple University there are large 19th-century brick and brownstone rowhomes, many of them student rentals, so turnover repairs and fast fixes are constantly needed.
Services Cecil B. Moore / Temple homeowners ask for most
- Drywall & Plaster Repair: Patching holes, cracks and water-damaged sections in both drywall and the original plaster walls common in older Philadelphia homes, blended and ready for paint.
- Roof Leak Repair: Finding and fixing roof leaks on Philly rowhomes: failed seams, worn flashing, clogged drains and gutters, and the interior damage they leave behind.
- Door Repair & Installation: Storm, exterior and interior doors repaired, adjusted or replaced, including the non-standard openings found in Philadelphia rowhomes.
- Handyman & Home Repairs: Small fixes and to-do lists handled in one visit: loose railings, sticking doors, caulking, shelving, hardware swaps and the general wear every Philly rowhome collects.
- Carpentry & Custom Builds: Trim, built-ins, shelving, stair treads and custom pieces built to fit the out-of-square walls that come with older houses.
