Handyman & Renovations in Brownsville
Brownsville is best known for its public housing, and rightly so — it has the densest concentration of it in the country. But between and around those developments are blocks of two- and three-family houses, most of them owner-occupied, and that's where our work is. It's practical, unglamorous and steady: the jobs people actually need doing.
What we’re usually working on
Two- and three-family houses, wood-frame and brick, on the blocks between the developments.
Heavily owner-occupied, with the owner in one unit and tenants in the others — so a repair is both a home and a business decision.
Newer infill and affordable construction on lots that sat empty for years, where the issues are finish quality rather than age.
Basements and cellars used as living space, and the moisture that goes with that.
What Brownsville calls us for
- Turning over a rental unit between tenants — paint, floors, fixtures, fast
- Kitchen and bathroom replacement on a real budget
- Doors, locks and window security across multi-unit houses
- Basement damp and finish repair
- The whole run of small repairs a two-family house needs every year
If you're in a NYCHA apartment, don't pay us
Repairs in a NYCHA apartment are the housing authority's job and they don't cost you anything. Put in a work order through the Customer Contact Center or your management office — that's what it's for, and it creates a record if the repair drags. We work on privately owned houses. We'd rather tell you that in one sentence than take money for something you're already owed.
