Home Repair in Scranton

Lackawanna County sits in northeastern Pennsylvania, anchored by Scranton and a dense cluster of boroughs and townships that developed around the coal and railroad industries. Much of the housing dates to 1880 through 1940, which means plaster walls, original trim, aging galvanized plumbing and doors that have settled with the house. These are the types of everyday repairs FixxMeNow handles the most.

Scranton is Pennsylvania's 6th-largest city, founded as a railroad and iron hub in the mid-1800s.

The city sits at approximately 940 feet elevation in the Lackawanna River valley, seeing 40 to 45 inches of snow annually, so FixxMeNow handles winterization prep and storm door repairs across the city every fall.

Much of the housing stock dates to between 1880 and 1940, when coal and manufacturing workers built dense rowhouse neighborhoods, so plaster and lath wall repair, sticking doors from settling, and original trim and molding work are everyday requests here.

Minimal attic insulation from the original construction era leaves many Scranton homes with drafty windows and doors, which FixxMeNow addresses with weatherstripping, door adjustments, and window repairs.

Scranton's Electric City nickname reflects its history as an early trolley city; many multi-unit properties on former trolley corridors need basic plumbing, light fixture replacement, and appliance installation between tenants.

Weather & your home

What Lackawanna County’s Climate Does to Homes

Average annual snowfall exceeds 40 inches and temperatures swing from below 0°F in January to the upper 80s°F in summer. That range swells and shrinks wood doors and windows every season, freezes outdoor faucets, and packs gutters with leaves from the valley's mature street trees each fall.

These conditions swell doors and windows, heave fence posts and mailboxes, pack gutters with debris, and turn small drips into water damage. FixxMeNow handles the everyday repairs that NEPA weather creates, inside and out, so the little jobs never turn into big ones.
