Handyman & Remodeling in Greensboro, NC

Handyman and remodeling services in Greensboro, NC. Greensboro is the Guilford County seat and a straight run west from us on I-40 and I-85, and it is where a good share of our interior remodeling work comes from.

Why Greensboro is mostly interior work for us

Greensboro has depth of housing stock that the smaller Alamance towns do not. Whole neighbourhoods of established homes from the mid-century and earlier, with the finishes and the problems that go with them.

That produces a very consistent list, and it is dominated by one thing: popcorn ceiling removal. An enormous amount of Greensboro housing was finished with sprayed texture, and it dates a room faster than anything else in it.

The before and after on our recent work page is exactly this job: texture scraped off, the ceiling skimmed flat and repainted, drywall repaired, cabinets refinished, tile down, and the room trimmed out.

Older houses, and asbestos

Because so much of this housing predates the early 1980s, texture here gets tested before anyone scrapes anything. Sprayed texture from that era can contain asbestos, and disturbing it without knowing is not a risk worth taking in your own home.

Testing is cheap and fast. If it comes back positive, removal is licensed abatement work, and we will tell you that plainly and point you at it rather than take the job.

The rest of the interior list

Bathroom remodeling is the next biggest, and in older Greensboro housing it almost always uncovers something under the old floor. Drywall repair and trim follows both of those, because a fresh flat ceiling makes tired trim obvious.

Storage matters here too, because older houses have small closets by modern standards. Building custom closets to full height often doubles what an existing reach-in holds.

Exterior work in Greensboro

We build decks and do siding and window replacement here as well. On a mid-century Greensboro house, replacing original single-pane windows changes both the comfort and the running cost noticeably, and doing the siding at the same time is the right way to sequence it so the flashing and trim line up.

The drive, and how we price it

Greensboro is far enough that we are honest about it: a single tiny repair in the city is not the best use of your money coming from Burlington. A real project, or a batched list, absolutely is, and we are out that way constantly.
