Local housing

The Edgewood repair list, by the numbers

With a median build year of 1980, local homes sit squarely in the 1980s building era, and they wear in predictable ways. About 41% of homes date from 1960 through 1979, the era of split-levels, ranchers and hollow-core doors. Edgewood sits near the Bush River and Aberdeen Proving Ground, with many townhomes, garden apartments and 1970s-era single-family homes.

Only 41% of homes are detached; 33% are townhomes and 21% are apartments or condos. We plan around association rules, parking and quiet hours. About 70% of homes are owner-occupied, and the median home value is $242,200, so most owners want repairs done once and done right.

What local homeowners call us for

  1. 01

    Tired interior doors and trim

    After forty or fifty years, interior doors swell, hinges sag and strike plates drift out of line. We plane and rehang doors, replace hinges and hardware, or swap in new pre-hung units with matching casing. In Edgewood, where the median home was built in 1980, original doors are often due.

  2. 02

    Repairs that fit HOA rules

    In attached homes, small repairs often touch shared walls, common fences or HOA-controlled exteriors. We plan the work around those limits and give you the details your management company asks for. About 33% of local homes are townhomes and 21% are condos or apartments.

  3. 03

    Fixture and light swaps

    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. In local homes built around 1980, original faucets and lights are often worn out.
