Manhattan-Specific Work
Manhattan apartments come with rules and constraints no suburban handyman is used to: doorman protocols, freight elevator booking, co-op board approvals for anything that touches the walls, plus pre-war buildings that are 100+ years old.
Common Manhattan jobs we handle every week:
🏢 Co-op approved work — we work within the windows your building allows (Mon-Fri 9am-5pm typical)
🚪 Doorman building access — we coordinate arrival with your concierge and bring proper ID
🛗 Freight elevator scheduling — for furniture assembly or larger jobs
🪞 TVs and shelves on pre-war plaster — UWS/UES classic 6/7/8 walls
🚿 Vintage fixture repair — original pre-war faucets, pedestal sink, claw-foot tub valve work
🔥 Steam radiator service — banging, hissing, won't heat
