Handyman in Whitman, Philadelphia

Whitman, in lower South Philly near the stadiums and I-95, is mostly rowhomes, many with front patios or porches.

Around Whitman

We serve homes and businesses throughout Whitman (ZIP 19148), including the blocks around Snyder Ave, Front St, Whitman Plaza and Oregon Ave.

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.

Housing here is mainly:

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.
1920s–1960s brick rowhomes and twins: common needs include garage and basement door repairs; dated kitchens and bathrooms ready for updates; flooring replacement; patio and fence-area carpentry.

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

Many older Whitman 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.
