If you are searching for a dependable handyman in South Jersey, Home Exchange has deep roots here. After starting in New York in 1986, we expanded into central and southern New Jersey and have been working in local homes for decades. Our main phone line is still an 856 number, and South Jersey remains a big part of what we do.
Whether you need a handyman in Cherry Hill, NJ, a few repairs in a Collingswood twin or a full remodel in Moorestown, we bring the same careful planning and Done Right Promise to every job.
South Jersey Homes and What They Need
South Jersey housing covers a wide range. Camden, Gloucester City and parts of Pennsauken have older brick rowhomes and twins similar to what you find across the river in Philadelphia. Collingswood and Haddonfield are known for early 1900s homes with porches, hardwood floors and plenty of original detail. Cherry Hill, Voorhees, Mount Laurel and much of Burlington and Gloucester counties grew up after the 1950s, with ranches, split-levels and colonials on larger lots.
Each type brings its own common jobs:
- Older homes in Camden, Collingswood and Haddonfield: porch and step repairs, plaster and trim work, original windows that stick or leak, and aging plumbing.
- Mid-century homes in Cherry Hill and Pennsauken: dated kitchens and bathrooms, worn hardwood or carpet, basements ready for finishing, and original windows and doors.
- Newer suburbs like Voorhees, Mount Laurel and Marlton: deck upkeep, garage organization, attic insulation and storage, and fresh paint.
Our carpentry, flooring and painting services cover many of these projects, and our kitchen and bathroom teams handle full updates.
Weather and Seasonal Upkeep in South Jersey
The South Jersey climate is a lot like Philadelphia’s, with a few local twists. Being closer to the coast means more humidity and stronger storms, and many towns have sandy soil and high water tables that can affect drainage.
Storms and wind
Nor’easters and summer thunderstorms can lift shingles, clog gutters and push rain into weak spots around windows and siding. Our exterior work covers siding, trim and gutter-related repairs. For leaks, flashing and missing shingles, see roof repair. If a storm has done serious damage or your roof is near the end of its life, our roofing team handles inspections and replacements.
Decks and patios
Backyards are a big part of South Jersey living, and decks take a beating from sun, rain and snow. Loose boards, wobbly railings and soft spots are signs it is time for attention. Our deck and patio service covers repairs, refinishing and new builds.
Basements and drainage
High water tables and heavy rain can leave basements damp, especially in older homes. We help with basement repairs and finishing, and we can look at grading and downspouts that send water toward the foundation. Winter brings its own risk: pipes along outside walls and in crawl spaces can freeze during a cold snap, so it pays to have our plumbing team insulate or reroute vulnerable lines before the first hard freeze.
Excavator Rental in Camden
Some projects need more than hand tools. We offer excavator rental from $99 per hour in Camden, NJ, as well as in Philadelphia. It is a good fit for grading a yard, digging a trench for drainage, clearing a site or small demolition work. Call us with your dates and project details to check availability.
Help for New Jersey Landlords
Many South Jersey homeowners also own rental properties. Our property management service handles tenant concerns, rent, routine maintenance, emergency repairs, cleaning, and snow and leaf removal. CEO Ramiz Duka owns real estate in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, so we understand the job from the owner’s side too.
