Handyman Services in Manayunk and Roxborough
I run Tiger Claw Handyman and take care of repairs across Manayunk and Roxborough. From rowhomes off Main Street to twins along Ridge Avenue, these houses deal with settling, old plaster, and daily wear. I handle your home repair list directly with a confirmed arrival window and honest updates.
Plaster Walls, Settling Frames, and Historic Quirk
The hills in Manayunk and older Roxborough framing cause their share of shifting. You might have doors along Green Lane or Lyceum Avenue that rub the frame or refuse to latch. Older plaster over lath cracks easily when the seasons change, and hanging a heavy mirror or mounting a TV on brick or lath can be tricky.
I patch cracked plaster and drywall so walls look flat and clean again. I also plane down sticky doors, adjust latches, swap locks, and hang TVs and shelves securely into solid framing or masonry.
Plumbing, Fixtures, and Interior Upgrades
Small leaks and outdated fixtures can cause headaches fast. I take care of leaking faucets, running toilets, faulty shut-off valves, and broken garbage disposals. If you need new ceiling fans or light fixtures put in, I can swap those out safely.
I also install kitchen backsplashes, repair cracked tile and grout, and lay vinyl plank floors. When trim gets beaten up or baseboards pull away, I replace or patch them. Every job gets a clean finish and fresh interior paint so the repair blends in completely.
Outdoor Maintenance and Weatherproofing
Steep roofs and trees near the Schuylkill mean gutters fill up fast. I clean out gutters and handle caulking and weatherproofing around drafty windows and doors before cold or wet weather sets in. I also repair broken fence boards, fix loose deck planks, and make small exterior patches on rowhome siding and masonry.

Questions we get about this
How do I get an estimate for a repair?
Send photos of what needs fixing through the form or text. I send back a free written quote the same business day before any work begins.
What happens if you find another problem while working?
I stop, show you what I found, and explain your options. You decide if you want it fixed or left alone before I do anything extra.
Do you mount TVs into brick or plaster over lath?
Yes, I mount TVs on drywall, old plaster, and exposed brick walls. I bring the right hardware to anchor into each specific wall type.
