Jobs Faiz Handles in Old Town
Historic Old Town townhouse doors that swell, stick, or won't latch
Old Town rowhouses and Federal-style townhouses are some of the most beautiful homes in Alexandria — and some of the most demanding when it comes to doors. Wood that's been painted and repainted over decades, frames that have settled with the foundation, and summer humidity combine to create doors that work perfectly in February and barely close in August. Faiz diagnoses whether the issue is seasonal swelling, hinge wear, or a shifted frame, and fixes the actual problem rather than just the symptom.
Condo repair that the building won't handle but the lease expects done
Old Town has hundreds of condos in converted historic buildings, and the HOA or unit-owner split on maintenance responsibility can leave you in a gray area. The running toilet, the dripping faucet, the flickering hallway switch — these are unit-owner items that don't warrant a licensed plumber or electrician but do need to get fixed. Faiz handles exactly these repairs: small, skilled, contained, and done right so they don't come back.
Pre-sale prep in an Old Town rowhouse that needs to list clean
Your real estate agent walked your King Street-adjacent rowhouse and gave you the list: the front door paint is chipping, the bathroom caulk has gone gray, the upstairs bedroom has a drywall ding from the move, and the back gate hinge is pulling out of the post. None of it is expensive to fix, but combined it will affect buyer perception. Faiz handles pre-listing repair lists on a timeline that works with your closing date.
The gallery wall planned since you moved in is still not up
You've had the frames, the layout sketch, and the hanging hardware since you moved into your Old Town condo two years ago. The plaster walls made you hesitant — one wrong anchor and you've got a hole that's harder to patch than drywall. Faiz works with Old Town's plaster regularly, uses the right toggle or stud anchor for the wall type, and hangs the gallery level the first time without collateral damage to the walls.
