Handyman in Fox Chase

I work around Fox Chase. The houses up here are older and heavier than the rest of the Northeast — stone and brick fronts, mature trees, deeper lots. Good bones, but they need a different hand than a new build: you find out what is behind a wall before you drill into it, not after.

What I do around Fox Chase

• Mounting into stone, brick and old plaster — the right anchor for what is actually there
• Plaster and drywall repairs on walls that have moved over the years
• Exterior trim, porch columns and garage surrounds repainted
• Baseboard heat covers and units replaced
• Doors, locks and hardware brought back into square
• Furniture assembly, shelving and everything that has to hang level on an uneven wall

A local you can actually reach

Older houses punish guessing. I find the stud or the solid course first, use the fixing the wall actually calls for, and I would rather tell you a job needs a licensed trade than open something I shouldn’t. It is just me, based a few minutes away — no crew through the house, no dispatcher between us.
