Handyman and Home Maintenance in Wyckoff, New Jersey
Mid-century ranches and splits on wide wooded lots, where the list runs to exterior wood, decks and what trees do to a house.
The houses in Wyckoff
Wyckoff is postwar suburban at its most characteristic: ranches, bi-levels and split levels built from the 1950s through the 1970s on generous lots, many with attached garages, finished lower levels and decks added later. The houses are drywall throughout, which makes interior repair straightforward, and their wear shows up outside rather than in.
Lots are large and wooded, and the township keeps a rural feel that is unusual this close to Route 208. That means real tree cover over real roof area, long driveways, and exterior surfaces that see more shade and moisture than they would on an open lot.
What we see most in Wyckoff
Decks that have gone grey
A deck added in the 1990s and never sealed is the single most common exterior item here. Most do not need rebuilding. They need washing, a check of the fasteners and railing posts, and a coat of something protective before another winter.
Exterior wood on a shaded lot
Fascia, trim, garage door surrounds and porch posts on the north side of a wooded lot stay damp. Catching the first soft spot with a scrape, prime and paint is a maintenance visit. Missing it for three years is a carpenter.
Split-level door and drawer drift
Half-flight houses move differently than two-story houses. Interior doors on the landings and the original kitchen drawers are the first to bind, and they are a straightforward adjustment when someone actually gets to them.
The garage absorbed everything
Big lot, attached garage, thirty years of accumulation. Clearing, shelving and getting the overhead door track cleaned and lubricated is a satisfying use of a four-hour visit and it is the job people most often say they will get to next spring.
Long driveways and outbuildings
Mailboxes at the road take a beating from plows, and sheds at the back of the lot get neglected because they are out of sight. Both are small, both are visible, and both are the kind of thing a plan visit clears without a separate call.
