Local housing

The Edgewater repair list, by the numbers

With a median build year of 1981, local homes sit squarely in the 1980s building era, and they wear in predictable ways. About 32% of homes were built between 1980 and 1999, so many are due for new flooring, updated fixtures and deck work. Edgewater lies along the South River south of Annapolis, with waterfront communities, older cottages and newer subdivisions.

Detached homes make up about 75% of the housing here, with 18% townhomes, so we see everything from drywall patches to deck and fence work. About 83% of homes are owner-occupied, and the median home value is $454,100, so most owners want repairs done once and done right.

What local homeowners call us for

  1. 01

    Deck repair before the next season

    Pressure-treated decks usually need attention after ten to fifteen Maryland summers: cupped boards, loose railings and stairs that flex. We replace failed boards and fasteners, tighten or rebuild railings, and refinish the surface. Decks around Edgewater built in the 1980s are hitting the age where boards and railings fail.

  2. 02

    Storm-damaged fencing

    Fence posts rot at the ground line, and a single failed post can pull a whole section out of plumb. We reset or replace posts in concrete, rehang sagging gates and swap damaged pickets and rails. We carry posts and pickets for jobs in Edgewater, Riva and Annapolis.

  3. 03

    Small plumbing and electrical fixes

    Many homeowners save up a list of fixture swaps: a new faucet, a bathroom fan, a few light fixtures. We knock them out in one visit and leave anything that needs a licensed plumber or electrician on a clear referral list. Fixture swaps are among the quickest jobs we book in Edgewater.
