Brooklyn-Specific Work
Brooklyn has more pre-war housing stock than anywhere else in NYC — limestone brownstones built before 1920, walk-up tenements, and stately apartment buildings, all needing repairs the average suburban handyman has never seen.
Common Brooklyn jobs we handle every week:
🏚️ Brownstone settling cracks — proper plaster compound, not drywall mud
🪞 TVs and shelves on lath-and-plaster walls — Snaptoggle anchors rated 250+ lbs
🚿 Old fixture replacements — vintage faucets, shower valves, toilet flange repairs
🔥 Banging steam radiators — air-vent replacement, level adjustments
🪟 Painted-shut windows — a decades-of-landlord-paint specialty
🪜 Walk-up logistics — we plan deliveries and material drop-offs so you don't haul drywall up 5 flights

Brooklyn Building Types We Work In
Every building has its quirks. Here's where we work most:
- Brownstones — limestone facades, original moldings, plaster walls. We respect the historical fabric.
- Pre-war walk-ups — 1900–1940 buildings with lath and plaster, original wood floors, steam heat.
- Modern condos — DUMBO, Williamsburg, Park Slope new construction. Drywall, modern wiring.
- Co-ops — including older Park Slope and Cobble Hill co-ops with strict building rules.
- Rentals — we work with tenants and landlords (we always confirm permission for work that may need landlord approval).
