Drywall, leaks & water damage in Roxborough

Flat and low-slope roofs and shared party walls are the usual leak points on Roxborough rowhomes. See flat roof leaks, party-wall leaks and roof leak repair.

Many older Roxborough 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.

Services Roxborough homeowners ask for most

• 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.
• 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.
• Door Repair & Installation: Storm, exterior and interior doors repaired, adjusted or replaced, including the non-standard openings found in Philadelphia rowhomes.
• General Contracting & Renovations: Coordinated renovation work for kitchens, bathrooms, basements and commercial fit-outs, managed as one project instead of a string of separate trades.
• Water Leak Detection & Repair: Tracking down hidden leaks behind walls, under floors and around fixtures, then repairing the pipe, fixture or seal that's causing them.
