Entire House Repair


 The previous owners of this house were investors.  They bought the house for their son while he went to Penn.  He, of course, had housemates and they lived there for several years.  This was not a rental, but it was not an owner/occupied house.  I think this is a great investment for parents, but a terrible way to take care of a house.

The current owner wanted to make it his house, and it took a lot of work.  He refinished the floors and took out all of the baseboard heaters.  Then it was our job to make everything look great.

There were 8 areas like the above that we repaired, plus the old paint was peeling everywhere.  Two of us spent 2 days repairing the walls before anything got painted.  We repaired just about every surface in this house and painted everything.  In the end, this was a very gratifying job.
