Home Repairs
Taormina Home Services delivers professional service and workmanship. Combine this with quality materials and supplies and we succeed in eliminating problems and headaches. Our goal is to provide the best solution for a specific issue. Not necessarily the cheapest, nor the most expensive option, but the option which has the most value with lasting results.
We leave your home better than we found it. You benefit from real improvement. When working at your home we protect adjacent areas from dust and damage. We clean up afterwards leaving minimal impact. We deliver responsible, professional quality work. We live and work local and we take care of our customers.
PROPERTY REMEDIATION
We can help homeowners prepare their house for sale and also help home buyers determine what issues take priority in making improvements and repairs on a home they are about to purchase .
Sometimes, homeowners are surprised by what items need to be addressed before a home can successfully be sold. A conversation and a plan to repair and update key items before the home is listed is a smart way to avoid problems later. The township where your home is located may require an inspection before sale. You may have a defect list from this inspection or an inspection report a potential buyer has ordered. We can help you decide what needs to be done first and complete the process. Being proactive here will save money and headaches before the closing day arrives.
Drywall and Plaster Repairs
Has a leak from a skylight, a failed seal on a roof vent, or an issue from an upstairs bath left water stains or ruined drywall? We excel at these repairs. The cause of the problem is thoroughly investigated, and a solution provided. Then repairs are made. We will also determine if any structural members have suffered damage and make the proper corrections.
If you have rough-looking finishes on walls or ceilings from old repairs, damage or from kinks in the framing, we can make them disappear. Plaster repairs are another service we provide. Our craftsmen are thoroughly trained professionals who make expert repairs.
Painting and Paperhanging
From interior walls, ceilings, doors, stairs and railings to your home’s exterior surfaces, trim, and windows, repair, preparation and painting are a big part of what we do.
Our painting contractor has over 27 years of experience and is available to handle any wallpaper installation or painting task. This is another professional service that goes hand in hand with many of the things that happen during a renovation or repair project.
