Services Tacony 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.
  • 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.

Drywall, leaks & water damage in Tacony

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

Many older Tacony 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.
