Local housing
What we find in Plainville houses.
Plainville mixes older in-town houses near the center with newer neighborhoods out toward the farm edges. Route 372 runs through it, connecting the town to Bristol and Kensington.
Two very different halves of town
Older houses near the center have plaster, original trim and settling doors. The newer edges have builder hardware that is now hitting the end of its service life. The list looks different depending on which side of town you are on.
Doors that move with the seasons
Plaster and old timber frames expand and contract more than modern construction, so a door that stuck in February may swing free by June. We adjust for the season rather than plane it away.
Steps and railings at the front
Raised entries with short flights and a single rail. A second rail and a light are the cheapest meaningful safety work in these houses.

Plainville questions
Before you call in Plainville.
Do you work in the newer neighborhoods too?
Yes. There the work tends to be caulk, hinges, shelving and hardware rather than plaster and trim.
Is Plainville inside your normal route?
Yes, about thirteen minutes from Kensington, with no travel charge.
Can you fix a door without replacing it?
Almost always. Hinges, strike plates and a light plane of the binding edge solve most of it.
