Handyman in Daly City
Daly City is largely post-war tract housing built to a handful of repeating plans, which means the same few faults turn up again and again once you know the type. It is also the foggiest, windiest ground we work on, and that decides most of what needs doing.

What the buildings in Daly City are like
Mostly late-1940s to 1950s stucco homes in long stepped rows, typically with the garage tucked underneath and the living space above. Interiors are drywall rather than lath and plaster, so fixings are straightforward, but exterior stucco, window seals and any exposed timber take a constant beating from wind-driven damp.
Repairs we are called out for most in Daly City
- Window and door seals that have given up, letting draughts and damp through
- Hairline stucco cracking on the weather side of the house
- Dry rot in exterior trim, fascia and garage door frames
- Under-house garage doors that bind or sit out of square
- Interior doors sticking through the wet months and freeing up in summer

Questions from Daly City customers
Why do my doors stick in winter and not in summer?
Timber takes up moisture in the damp months and swells. Planing a door in January often leaves a visible gap by August, so the better fix is usually adjusting the stop, the hinges or the strike plate rather than removing material.
Is the wind really why my seals keep failing?
It is a large part of it. Wind-driven rain forces water into joints that would drain harmlessly elsewhere, so seals and caulking here need renewing more often than in the sheltered parts of the city.
