Home repair in Springfield, VA
Springfield was built for the postwar federal workforce. Cape Cods and brick ramblers from the 1950s and 1960s in old Springfield and along Rolling Road, colonials in West Springfield from the 1970s, and then Kingstowne in the 1990s with its townhouses and condos. The oldest houses have plaster and cast iron, the newest have the usual builder grade list.
Or call or text (240) 858-0149. Hours 8 to 6, Monday through Saturday.
Cape Cods, dug out basements and Kingstowne
Springfield Cape Cods have had their attics finished and their basements dug out over the years, and that is where the work is. A knee wall door that does not close, drywall that was never taped right, a dormer window that leaks at the sill. We sort what is cosmetic from what is water and tell you straight.
The Cape Cods on the Springfield side of Lake Accotink have a cast iron drain stack, and the bathroom drywall around it cracks from the pipe moving with temperature. We cut back, add a slip joint of flexible caulk at the pipe, and patch so the crack has somewhere to go.

Springfield questions, straight answers
- My attic bedroom door in a Cape Cod will not close. Can you fix it?
- Yes. Knee wall and attic doors go out of square as the roof framing moves. We plane and rehang, or reset the jamb if it has come loose.
- Do you do condo work in Kingstowne?
- Yes. We follow the building rules on hours and elevator use and bring drop cloths for the common hallway.
- A dormer window leaks at the sill. Handyman job?
- Usually. The sill and the flashing under it get resealed or the sill gets replaced. If the leak is coming from the roof above, we say so and bring the roofer.
