Roofing in Feasterville-Trevose
Roofing work in Feasterville-Trevose runs from replacing a few storm-damaged shingles to a full tear-off and re-roof.
Painting
Post-war homes with original wood trim, aluminum siding or asbestos-cement shingles each need different preparation — and asbestos-cement should not be sanded or power-washed aggressively.
Kitchen & Bath Remodeling
Post-war homes commonly have small original kitchens and a single bath, so remodels often involve removing a wall or borrowing space from a neighboring room.
Home Remodeling & Additions
Post-war capes, ranches and split-levels are frequent candidates for dormers, rear additions and opened-up first floors.
Decks & Porches
Many post-war homes have original or early decks whose framing and ledger connections predate current code, so repair often turns into rebuild.
Concrete & Masonry
Original post-war driveways, walks and stoops are now at the age where replacement makes more sense than patching.
Power Washing
Aluminum siding on post-war homes oxidizes to a chalky film that high pressure will strip unevenly, and asbestos-cement shingles should only be cleaned gently.
Siding
Post-war homes often have aluminum siding or asbestos-cement shingles; asbestos-cement must be removed or covered following regulated procedures.
Windows & Doors
Post-war homes often have aluminum or early vinyl replacement windows that are now inefficient and hard to operate.
Flooring
Post-war homes frequently have hardwood under carpet, and some older resilient tiles and adhesives contain asbestos and should be tested before removal.
Gutters
Post-war homes with shallow roof overhangs are prone to ice dams that pull gutters loose.
Paving
Original driveways on post-war homes have often been overlaid several times and now need full removal.
Basement Waterproofing
Block foundations common in post-war homes can admit water through mortar joints and hollow cores, and can bow under soil pressure.
Insulation
Post-war homes typically have a few inches of original attic insulation, far below current recommendations.
Garage Doors
Attached garages on post-war homes frequently still run original openers that predate photo-eye sensors and should be replaced rather than repaired.
Chimney & Fireplace
Post-war chimneys often vent the furnace and water heater as well as the fireplace; replacing the furnace with a high-efficiency model can leave the water heater in an oversized flue that needs a liner.
Junk Removal
Long-held post-war homes are often the subject of estate cleanouts, where sorting keepsakes, donations and trash is part of the job.
Water Damage & Mold Restoration
Finished basements in post-war homes are common sites for water damage from aging water heaters, washer hoses and sump failures.
Solar Panels
Post-war ranches and split-levels often have simple, low-pitched roofs that suit panels, but many still have original-size electrical services that may need an upgrade.
Cabinets & Countertops
Post-war kitchens often have soffits above the cabinets that may hide ducts or pipes, so check what is inside before planning taller cabinets.
Foundation Repair
Concrete-block basement walls common in post-war homes can bow inward under soil and water pressure, usually showing a horizontal crack along a mortar joint first.
Home Inspection
Post-war homes often have block foundations, original electrical services sized for fewer appliances, and in some 1960s–70s houses aluminum branch wiring, which needs evaluation by an electrician.
Movers
Post-war homes often have basement storage reached by steep stairs and attics with pull-down ladders, which add time if they need to be emptied.
