Handyman Service Across Winston-Salem, NC

Winston-Salem sits in the rolling Piedmont of Forsyth County, a city of about a quarter million people that grew out of two towns: Moravian Salem, founded in 1766, and the tobacco and textile town of Winston, which joined it in 1913. Its houses tell that story street by street. Old Salem preserves eighteenth- and nineteenth-century brick and half-timbered buildings. The West End climbs the hills just west of downtown with Queen Anne and Colonial Revival houses from the 1890s through the 1920s, and Ardmore spreads out to the southwest with the city's largest collection of Craftsman bungalows and foursquares. Washington Park, on the south side, mixes Queen Anne, Colonial Revival and Craftsman homes more than a century old, while Buena Vista and the streets off Reynolda Road hold the brick Georgian and Tudor homes of the 1920s and 1930s. After the war came the brick ranches and split-levels of Sherwood Forest, Konnoak Hills, Mount Tabor and dozens of neighborhoods in between, and downtown now has lofts in converted tobacco warehouses around the Innovation Quarter. One morning we're re-anchoring plaster in a West End stairwell; that afternoon we're hanging a TV on the brick fireplace wall of a 1960s ranch.

Getting around the city means knowing a handful of roads: I-40 running east and west across the south side, Salem Parkway carrying traffic past downtown, US 52 along the east edge of downtown, and Silas Creek Parkway and Peters Creek Parkway linking the west side to Hanes Mall and the hospitals. Green space is everywhere, from Hanes Park and Miller Park to Reynolda Gardens, Historic Bethabara Park and the trail around Salem Lake. The Carolina Classic Fair fills the fairgrounds every fall, and Wake Forest game days fill the streets north of Reynolda Road.

Jobs we handle a lot in Winston-Salem

Across the city, the most common calls are plaster and drywall cracks in older homes, doors that swell and stick in the muggy months, gutters packed with oak leaves and pine needles, ceiling fans and light fixtures in homes built before central air, running toilets and dripping faucets, fence posts rotted in the red clay, and move-in and move-out punch lists for the many rental homes near the universities and hospitals.
