If you are looking for a reliable handyman in Camden, NJ, Home Exchange is right next door. Our office sits on Frankford Avenue in Philadelphia, just over the Ben Franklin Bridge, and our main phone line has always been an 856 number. Camden homeowners, landlords and businesses call us for everything from a sticking door to a full kitchen remodel.
We are a family-run company that started out renovating entire residential and commercial buildings in 1986. That background shows on every Camden job: we plan carefully, show up with the tools and materials needed, and finish the work right the first time.
Camden Homes and the Work They Need
Much of Camden’s housing is older brick rowhomes and twins, many built long before modern codes. They have real character, and they come with familiar challenges.
- Aging plumbing and fixtures. Old supply lines, worn valves and slow drains are common. Our plumbing service handles leaks, toilets, faucets and drains.
- Flat and low-slope roofs. Rowhome roofs take a beating from summer heat and winter freeze-thaw. We patch leaks and flashing through roof repair and handle full replacements through our roofing service.
- Brick, steps and sidewalks. Crumbling mortar, cracked front steps and heaved concrete are everyday jobs for our masonry crew.
- Damp basements. Older foundations near the river can let in moisture. We help with basement repairs, waterproofing measures and finishing.
- Walls and ceilings. Plaster cracks, water stains and patched drywall get fixed and refinished by our drywall and painting teams.
Repairs, Remodels and Rentals
Some Camden clients need a long list of small fixes done in one visit. Others are ready for a bigger change. We do both.
For everyday fixes, our home repair service covers doors, windows, fixtures, trim, caulking and the odd jobs that pile up. For bigger projects, we take on kitchen and bathroom remodels, new flooring, tile and complete remodeling.
Camden also has many rental properties. Landlords use us to turn units around between tenants, keep up with routine maintenance and handle urgent repairs. If you own several buildings, our property management service can take care of upkeep, cleaning, snow and leaf removal and tenant concerns for you.
Excavator Rental in Camden
We offer excavator rental in Camden and Philadelphia, with rates starting at $99 per hour. Contractors and homeowners use it for digging, trenching, grading and clearing ground for patios, driveways and additions. Renting means you get well-maintained equipment for exactly the time you need it, without the cost of owning and storing a machine.
Seasonal Upkeep for Camden Homes
Being right on the Delaware River means humid summers, cold damp winters and strong storms in between. A little planning goes a long way:
- Spring: check the roof and gutters after winter, and look for cracks in steps and sidewalks.
- Summer: reseal decks and patios, and service air conditioning before the hottest weeks.
- Fall: clean gutters, seal drafty doors and windows, and insulate exposed pipes.
- Winter: watch for ice dams, frozen pipes and leaks around chimneys and flashing.
Our home maintenance service can handle these seasonal checks so small problems don’t become big repairs.
