ALEXANDRIA, VA, February 27, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Huntington Handyman, a top handyman service in Alexandria, Virginia, is proud to announce a new blog post titled "The Most Common Handyman Requests in Alexandria's Older Neighborhoods." As winter (finally) ends in the Washington, DC, and Northern Virginia area, many homeowners have begun planning their home improvement projects for spring and summer. Decks, in particular, are a popular upgrade item as people dream of warm summer evenings even as winter retains its grip.

"Alexandria is full of older homes that are charming but often need repairs," explained Jesse Scribner, owner of Huntington Handyman. "As a handyman, I see the same common complaints frequently. Drywall repairs, loose railings, fence issues, and minor electrical work are among the most common. A handyman service can end up costing less than hiring a specialist, and it can be easier than DIY." The post highlights how Huntington Handyman helps residents maintain their homes by providing cost-effective repairs and upgrades.

The post is now available at https://www.huntingtonhandymanva.com/post/the-most-common-handyman-requests-in-alexandria-s-older-neighborhoods and offers insight into the repair issues homeowners frequently face in communities such as Huntington, Belle View, Hybla Valley, and Groveton.

Here is background on this release. Alexandria is one of the oldest communities in the United States. It was founded in 1749. Many homes, however, were built decades if not centuries ago. The city is in constant repair. The new post explains that some of the most frequent handyman requests involve drywall repair, wall texture fixes, preparation work, and painting both inside and out. Small cracks, nail pops, and aging surfaces are common. The team of handyman professionals works throughout Alexandria and has a passion for upgrading older homes and businesses.

The announcement also explains how Alexandria's climate contributes to common repair needs. Humid summers and frigid winters put a lot of pressure on both the inside and the outside of a building or home. Nature is constantly trying to degrade a home.
