Reynoldstown Handyman Services
After-Warranty Punch Lists for New Builds, Real Repairs for Old Cottages
Reynoldstown has built more new housing in the last fifteen years than in the previous fifty: modern townhomes and infill houses along the BeltLine, Memorial Drive and the side streets, standing next to the shotgun houses and small 1900s–1920s cottages the neighborhood was known for. New construction develops a list once the builder’s warranty ends. Old cottages have the list they’ve always had. We work both, often within a block of each other.

What We Typically Repair in Reynoldstown
A new townhome is quiet for a year and then starts talking. Framing dries and settles, and hairline cracks open at drywall corners and above door frames; nails pop through the paint; interior doors that were hung plumb on day one drift and rub; caulk pulls away from tubs, counters and window trim; the deck railing loosens and the exterior door needs a new sweep. None of this is unusual, and most of it is outside what a builder warranty covers after the first year. We fix the whole list in one or two visits: tape and float the cracks properly, set the nail pops, adjust the doors, re-caulk and paint. Then we hang the TV and the shelves while we’re there.
The shotgun houses and cottages have the older, simpler list. Wood siding rots at the bottom courses and around window sills, porch floors and column bases soften, and doors stop latching as the house settles on its piers. Repairs are surgical: splice, seal, paint, re-hang. Inside, plaster and old drywall crack at corners, and floors squeak where they’ve loosened from the joists. The BeltLine Eastside Trail and the businesses along Memorial and Wylie bring storefront and patio repairs as well.

Know your warranty dates
Most builder warranties cover workmanship for one year and some structural items longer. Ask the builder to fix anything still covered. Once it lapses, that’s when we come in.
Wait for the settling, then do it once
Cracks and nail pops that appear in year one often keep appearing through year two. If you can, wait until they stop growing and fix them all in one visit with one round of paint.
Cottages: send a photo of the lowest siding board
Rot on a shotgun house starts at the bottom courses and the sills. One photo of each side of the house from knee height tells us most of what we need to estimate.

Reynoldstown Handyman FAQs
My builder warranty just ended and I have a list. Is that a handyman job?
Yes, and it’s one of the most common Reynoldstown calls we get. Send photos of everything through our estimate form. We schedule enough time to fix cracks, nail pops, doors, caulk and hardware in one or two visits and paint over the repairs.
Will drywall cracks in a new townhome come back?
If they’re just filled, often yes. We tape and float seams and corners properly so they stay closed. If a crack keeps growing or comes with sloping floors or doors that won’t stay adjusted, we’ll tell you it needs a closer look than drywall.
Do you repair shotgun houses and older cottages?
Yes. Siding, sills, porch floors, column bases and doors on houses that have settled on their piers are everyday repairs for us.
What is the trip charge for Reynoldstown?
$50. Reynoldstown (30316 and 30312) is in our primary service area. Labor is $125 per hour with a one-hour minimum, billed for the time actually worked.
