Around Spruce Hill

We serve homes and businesses throughout Spruce Hill (ZIP 19104), including the blocks around Clark Park, Baltimore Ave, Spruce St and 42nd St.

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.
Interior Painting: Interior painting for rooms, trim, doors and ceilings, with patching and prep done first so the finish lasts.

Housing here is mainly:

Victorian twins and large older homes: common needs include original woodwork and trim repair; porch carpentry; plaster repair across tall walls and ceilings; old doors that stick or sag.
Porch-front rowhomes: common needs include front porch railings, steps and ceilings; exterior doors and storm doors; interior plaster and trim.

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

Many older Spruce Hill 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.
