Handyman in Fishtown

I fix things around Fishtown. These rehabbed rowhomes are a mix of the old and the new — fresh renovations sitting right next to hundred-year-old plaster walls. I know how both behave, and I work on them with the same care whether the house went up last year or a century ago.

What I do around Fishtown

• TV and picture mounting, level and solid on plaster or drywall
• Plumbing fixtures — faucets, toilets, valves, and shutoffs swapped out
• Drywall and plaster patching, so old walls look whole again
• Painting and touch-ups that match what’s already on the wall
• Furniture assembly, from flat-pack to the tricky pieces
• Doors and locks that stick, sag, or won’t latch right

A local you can actually reach

It’s just me — one craftsman who shows up when I say I will and does the work myself. I know how these Fishtown homes are built, the quirks of old plaster and the shortcuts left behind in a quick reno, so I can tell you straight what a job needs. When you call, you get me on the phone, not a dispatcher or an answering service. I work Fishtown and the blocks around it, including Northern Liberties and Kensington.
