Services Spring Garden 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.
- Door Repair & Installation: Storm, exterior and interior doors repaired, adjusted or replaced, including the non-standard openings found in Philadelphia rowhomes.
- Interior Painting: Interior painting for rooms, trim, doors and ceilings, with patching and prep done first so the finish lasts.

Drywall, leaks & water damage in Spring Garden
In condos and stacked units, ceiling stains usually come from the unit or bathroom above. See ceiling leak repair.
Many older Spring Garden 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.
