Services Chinatown homeowners ask for most
- Interior Painting: Interior painting for rooms, trim, doors and ceilings, with patching and prep done first so the finish lasts.
- Light Fixtures & Electrical: Light fixtures, ceiling fans, bathroom exhaust fans, switches and outlets, installed and replaced by our own crew.
- TV Mounting & Furniture Assembly: TV mounting, shelf hanging and furniture assembly done safely into studs or masonry, often same-visit with other jobs.
- 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.
Homes in Chinatown
Housing here is mainly:
- Condos and lofts: common needs include drywall and paint touch-ups; fixture swaps within building rules; furniture assembly and wall mounting.
- Older brick rowhomes: common needs include plaster walls that crack along ceilings and stair walls; door frames that have settled out of square; storm and exterior doors that wear out; basement dampness and old framing.
Drywall, leaks & water damage in Chinatown
Flat and low-slope roofs and shared party walls are the usual leak points on Chinatown rowhomes. See flat roof leaks, party-wall leaks and roof leak repair.
In condos and stacked units, ceiling stains usually come from the unit or bathroom above. See ceiling leak repair.
Many older Chinatown homes still have original plaster, which needs a different repair than drywall. Read plaster vs. drywall or see drywall & plaster repair.
Spotted a stain or soft wall? We find the leak, fix it, then handle the water-damaged drywall. See signs of hidden leaks.
