We understand plaster walls, knob-and-tube awareness, older door and window styles, and period-appropriate carpentry.

Q12Do you handle door and window repairs for homes?

Yes. We repair sticking doors, damaged door frames, broken hardware, loose hinges, failed weatherstripping, and damaged thresholds.
