Local housing

What local homes need now

The median year built in Damascus is 1984. That puts most houses at the age where doors, floors, trim and decks start asking for attention. Roughly 52% of the houses date from the 1980s and 1990s. Original carpet, builder faucets and aging decks are common on our lists here. Damascus is an upcounty Montgomery community along Route 27 with a small-town core and many ramblers and colonials on larger lots.

About 76% of homes are detached single-family houses and 15% are townhomes, which means a steady mix of interior repairs and yard projects. Owner-occupancy runs about 90% and the median value is $528,400. That is a lot of equity to protect with steady maintenance.

Common repairs we handle in Damascus

  1. 01

    Leaky faucets and dated fixtures

    Dripping faucets, running toilets and dated light fixtures are quick wins. We replace faucets, toilets and vanity lights, swap outlets and switches like-for-like, and install ceiling fans on existing boxes. Most Damascus fixture visits take under two hours, same as in Clarksburg.

  2. 02

    Deck repair before the next season

    Loose balusters and soft deck stairs are safety issues, not just cosmetic ones. We check framing and ledger connections, replace rotted pieces, and bring railings back to a solid, even height. We book deck repairs in Damascus, Clarksburg and Mount Airy on the same route days.

  3. 03

    Storm-damaged fencing

    After a storm, we often get calls for fence sections knocked down by wind or limbs. We rebuild the damaged run to match the rest of the fence and square up gates so they latch again. With 76% detached homes in Damascus, fence lines are a common part of the list.
