Local Challenges
Problems We See Locally
Basement and Lower-Level Moisture Repairs
Older foundations combined with properties near mapped drainage corridors make water staining, damaged baseboards, deteriorated drywall, loose flooring.
Gutter, Downspout and Runoff-Control Deficiencies
Harrison’s documented stormwater and flood concerns make overflowing gutters, short downspout extensions, disconnected leaders and erosion beside foundations locally relevant.
Peeling Exterior Paint and Deteriorated Wood Trim
A majority-pre-1970 housing inventory means fascia, soffits, porch elements, window trim and older painted interiors may require repair or preparation.
Loose Steps, Railings and Freeze-Damaged Masonry
Winter moisture and freeze-thaw cycles can contribute to cracked mortar, loose caps, spalled surfaces, opened joints and unstable exterior railings.
Small Leaks and Mixed-Generation Plumbing Repairs
Older housing often accumulates newer faucets and shutoffs connected to older supply or drain components.
Cracked Plaster, Failed Caulk and Sticking Doors or Windows
Harrison’s older houses and long history of additions make transitions between original and renovated work likely places for finish cracking, trim separation and uneven openings.

“I've been looking for a handy person to do some jobs around my home and 914 Handy was great! They installed my in window AC unit and under sink water filter. José was very helpful. I would definitely reach out to them again for any future projects.”
“From the moment I made the call, I knew I was in good hands. He showed up to my home within an hour and a half, took the time to really look at what needed to be done, and had the job fully completed by the very next morning—no delays, no excuses, just solid, dependable work. His pricing was more than fair, especially for the level of care and effort he put in. There was absolutely no overcharging, and when extra supplies were needed, he didn’t hesitate to go to Home Depot himself to make sure everything was done right instead of cutting corners. That alone spoke volumes about his integrity and work ethic…”
“We wanted to add some bracing behind the drywall where we planned to hang a (heavy!) shelf. Manny reviewed what we were looking to do, gave us some suggestions for how we might want to tackle it, and then knocked it out in a day. His work was clean and professional. I look forward to working with him again for our next project!”
