Edgewood and Magnolia round out the southern end of our Harford County route. We work throughout the 21040 area — Edgewood Meadows, Woodbridge Center, Trimble Road, and the neighborhoods near the Edgewood area of Aberdeen Proving Ground.
Edgewood has a large share of mid-century and 1970s housing and a lot of rental property. Aging original kitchens and baths, worn flooring, dated electrical fixtures, and turnover punch lists make up most of what we do here.
Housing and the work it needs
Much of Edgewood's housing dates from the 1950s–1970s: ranches, split-levels, and townhomes with original fixtures and, in some cases, aluminum branch wiring. Kitchen and bath refreshes, flooring, and fixture replacement are the common calls, along with turnover work for landlords.
Permits in Edgewood
This is unincorporated Harford County, so building, plumbing, and electrical permits go through Harford County's permit office, not a town hall.
Like-for-like repairs generally need no permit. Basement finishing, structural changes, and plumbing or electrical changes do — we handle the application.
Common projects in Edgewood
We do every service on our list here. These are the most common requests for Edgewood homes.
Some late-1960s and 1970s Edgewood homes have aluminum branch wiring. When we replace a switch or outlet and find it, we stop and refer you to a licensed electrician, since those connections need rated devices and methods.
Landlords and turnovers
We work with property owners on move-out punch lists — patch, paint, hardware, caulk, fixtures — grouped into one visit, and can work from a lockbox with authorization.

Usually. Cabinet painting, new hardware, a new countertop and sink, a backsplash, and updated lighting transform most kitchens of that era at a fraction of the cost of replacement.
