Homes in Brewerytown, Germantown, Fairmount, and West Philly often show their age once winter arrives. From cracking plaster to shifting foundations and drafty window frames, colder temperatures highlight maintenance and repair issues that should be addressed quickly to avoid further damage. PHS General Contractor Philadelphia specializes in drywall repair, framing adjustments, flooring upgrades, and kitchen/bath updates designed to protect homes during the winter months.
Older Philadelphia rowhomes experience unique seasonal stressors. Many have aging plaster walls that expand and contract, creating structural cracks. Others have original hardwood floors that begin to separate or warp due to shifting humidity levels. Minor issues like these can snowball into moisture damage or energy inefficiency if ignored. Our team performs clean, efficient repairs that maintain the home’s original charm while reinforcing structural integrity.
Another common winter issue is aging electrical or plumbing systems. As heaters run longer, older wiring and pipes are placed under additional load. A proactive inspection ensures everything is functioning safely and efficiently.

Whether you need quick maintenance or a full interior renovation, PHS is committed to delivering professional repairs that enhance comfort before winter weather hits its peak.
