Repair for century homes ยท Cleveland's west side
Porch, trim, and stair repair for the west side's old houses.
I'm Mike. I fix the outside of hundred-year-old houses: rotted trim, soft porch floors, failing steps and railings. The jobs too big for a handyman and too small for a remodeler.

Who you'd be working with
Me. Just ask for Mike. I started working on houses with my dad in 1992 and have been fixing and remodeling them ever since. I live in Lakewood, and I take a small number of jobs so each one gets done right.
I'd rather save original wood than tear it out, and I'll tell you what caused the damage so you don't pay for the same repair twice.
Good fit

Not a fit

If it's not for me, I'll tell you quickly and point you to someone good.
Selling soon?
Before you spend money getting ready to list, send me photos of what the inspector is likely to flag. I'll tell you what's worth fixing and what isn't, and price the repairs worth doing as one list.
Soft spot? Wobbly rail? Send me a photo.
