Northern Virginia
Home repair in Fairfax, VA
Fairfax is the 1950s to 1970s belt of Northern Virginia. Brick ramblers and split levels in Mantua and Kings Park West, colonials around Fairfax Circle, and the townhouses that filled in near Fair Oaks in the 1980s. These houses are 50 to 70 years old and have been through two or three owners, so the repair list is a mix of original parts and past fixes that did not hold.
Or call or text (240) 858-0149. Hours 8 to 6, Monday through Saturday.
Ramblers and split levels, fifty years on
A typical Fairfax visit is a split level with a sticking slider, a bath fan that rattles, drywall cracks over the garage door, and a basement door that swelled. We fix the list in one trip and tell you which of the old parts are worth keeping.
The split levels around Kings Park West have a half flight of stairs with a railing screwed into drywall on one side. Almost every one is loose. We add a blocking plate behind the drywall and reset the brackets so it stays tight.

Fairfax questions
- Can you fix a loose stair railing in a split level?
- Yes. Most are screwed into drywall with no backing. We open a small patch, add a blocking plate, reset the brackets and patch the wall in the same visit.
- Do you work on the townhouses near Fair Oaks?
- Yes. The 1980s townhouses have the same builder grade doors and drywall we see across the county, and they group well into one trip.
- Is the Fairfax city side covered the same as the county?
- Yes. Same crew, same written price. City permits apply only to the bigger jobs, and we tell you when one is needed.
