Philadelphia winters reveal weak spots fast—small leaks, drafts, and loose finishes become expensive problems if ignored. At Philly House Services, we approach winter repairs like a smart renovation plan: stabilize the home, protect materials, and improve comfort so you’re not rebuilding the same area twice.
Why winter repairs matter more in Philly rowhomes
Older homes (and even newer flips) often hide trouble behind fresh paint. Cold weather adds stress—materials contract, moisture migrates, and small openings become water pathways. If you notice stains, soft drywall, or cold floors, it’s time to act.
