Newton's homes are beautiful — and beautiful older homes come with maintenance. Victorians, Colonials, and Craftsman-style houses throughout Newton's fourteen villages all have their quirks: doors that have shifted over a century, plaster that needs patching, fixtures that haven't been touched in decades. Tyler Home Services handles the handyman work that keeps these homes running right.
What We Handle in Newton
Repairs and maintenance that don't need a licensed contractor:
- Doors — sticking, binding, dropped on hinges, won't latch, hardware replacement
- Drywall and plaster — holes, cracks, nail pops, smooth finish ready for paint
- Mounting — TVs, shelves, heavy artwork, mirrors — properly anchored into old walls
- Light fixtures — swapping outdated fixtures, ceiling fan installs, basic replacements
- Weatherstripping and caulking — drafty older windows and doors, kitchen and bath caulk
- Furniture assembly — flat-pack, office furniture, anything from a box
- General home maintenance — the list that never quite gets done
If something requires a licensed trade — structural, major electrical, full plumbing — we'll be straight with you and send you to the right person.
