Local housing

What local homes need now

The median year built in Fallston is 1977. That puts most houses at the age where doors, floors, trim and decks start asking for attention. Roughly 57% of the housing was built between 1960 and 1979, so original doors, trim, floors and bathroom finishes are often due. Fallston is a semi-rural Harford County area along Route 1 and Route 152, known for larger lots and 1970s-1990s single-family homes.

About 99% of homes are detached single-family houses, many on larger lots, so exterior jobs like fences, decks and outbuildings come up often. Owner-occupancy runs about 97% and the median value is $562,300. That is a lot of equity to protect with steady maintenance.

What local homeowners call us for

  1. 01

    Larger properties with longer lists

    Properties with barns, sheds and long fence lines need steady upkeep. We repair siding and trim on outbuildings, rebuild porch steps and handle the jobs that pile up between seasons. With a median home value of $562,300, Fallston owners tend to keep up with outdoor structures.

  2. 02

    Deck boards, railings and stairs

    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. About 99% of local homes are detached, and most of them have a deck or porch.

  3. 03

    Leaning fences and broken gates

    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. We carry posts and pickets for jobs in Fallston, Forest Hill and Jarrettsville.
