Handyman in Somerton

I work all over Somerton. Up in this corner of the Northeast the houses sit on real ground — single-family, room between them, decks out the back and long runs of siding facing the weather. That means a different list of jobs from the rowhouse blocks downtown, and it is the list I do most.

What I do around Somerton

• Exterior siding, trim and porch columns scraped back and repainted
• Deck fittings — patio umbrellas, rails, boards and outdoor furniture assembled and anchored
• Baseboard heat replaced, covers and whole units, in rooms that never quite warm up
• TV mounting on drywall, plaster or brick with the cables run out of sight
• Interior painting, patching and touch-ups that match the existing wall
• Doors, locks and hardware that have dropped out of square

A local you can actually reach

I’m based a few minutes away in Bustleton, so Somerton is a short drive rather than a trip across the city — I can usually look at something quickly. One craftsman, my own tools, and I stay until the job is finished and swept up. Call and you get me on the phone, not an answering service.
