Local Challenges
Problems We See Locally
Deteriorated wood trim, siding, and porch components
Likely causes: Paint-disturbing work on pre-1978 components should follow applicable lead-safe requirements.
Roof-edge, flashing, gutter, and downspout defects
Likely causes: Slate repair, structural roof work, major flashing replacement, and full reroofing should be referred to qualified specialists.
Lower-level seepage and poor exterior drainage
Likely causes: These concerns are property-specific and should not be applied to every Irvington home.
Deteriorated steps, walks, railings, and retaining features
Likely causes: Structural retaining walls, significant masonry displacement, or suspected slope instability should be evaluated by the appropriate engineer or licensed contractor.
Sticking windows and doors, failed exterior seals, and old painted surfaces
Likely causes: Window replacement, relocation, framing changes, or pattern changes may trigger Building Department or Architectural Review Board review, especially within the historic district.
Fixture leaks, aging shutoffs, and mixed-generation plumbing
Likely causes: Because Irvington water is soft, mineral scale should not automatically be blamed.

“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!”
