    Handyman Services in Towson

    Repairs in older Towson homes tend to reflect the age of the houses: sticking doors, loose stair railings, plaster cracks, and old fixtures that need replacing. We bring hardware for plaster and lath as well as drywall.

    Towson runs to brick rowhouses from the 1920s through the 1950s, pre-war Tudor and colonial single-family homes, and postwar colonials and ranchers. Fasteners, hinge sizes, and fixture boxes all vary with age, so we load the van for all of it. Older Towson homes bring a specific set of repairs: plaster that cracks when drilled carelessly, doors that bind as the house settles, and stair railings that loosen over decades of use. Send the list ahead of time with a few photos so the right hardware comes along, including anchors made for plaster and lath.

    Handyman questions from Towson homeowners

    What does a handyman cost in Towson?

    Our rate is $150 per hour with a one-hour minimum, $500 for a half day of up to four hours, or $800 for a full day of up to eight hours. Materials are billed separately and we tell you before we buy anything.

    Can you hang heavy items on plaster walls?

    Yes. We locate studs or use anchors rated for plaster and lath, and we drill carefully so the plaster does not crack around the hole. TVs and heavy mirrors are mounted to framing wherever possible.

    Can you fix doors that stick in an older Towson home?

    Yes. Doors in older houses often bind as framing settles. Hinges can be tightened or shimmed, strikes moved, and edges planed and repainted so the door closes cleanly.
