Handyman in Historic Holladay, Utah
Holladay is HMJ’s home base. We know these homes well. The historic core, older ranches and craftsmen around Knudsen Park, Holladay Boulevard, and Murray-Holladay Road, has a specific set of repair patterns we see month after month.
The housing stock in Historic Holladay and the Knudsen Park / Murray-Holladay corridor
Historic Holladay and the Knudsen Park / Murray-Holladay corridor homes are typically 1930s–1960s ranch + craftsman + 1990s+ infill custom. The mix matters because each era brings its own repair patterns, its own inspection-period landmines, and its own cosmetic refresh opportunities.
Most common repairs we do in Historic Holladay and the Knudsen Park / Murray-Holladay corridor
- ✓ Original plaster wall repair. Many 1940s–1950s Holladay homes have plaster walls (not drywall). We patch with proper plaster compound, drywall mud doesn’t bond right and cracks back through.
- ✓ Cast-iron sink + tub refinishing. Original 1950s tubs and sinks are still in many Holladay homes. We refer to a porcelain refinisher when the surface has chipped. Cheaper than replacing.
- ✓ Tree root sidewalk damage. Old Holladay yards have mature trees. Root heave on driveways and walkways is common. We coordinate with concrete specialists for replacement.
- ✓ Mature landscape irrigation. Big old trees + lawns require well-tuned sprinkler systems. We don’t do underground sprinkler repair but coordinate with a Utah-licensed irrigation specialist.
- ✓ 1990s–2010s addition seams. Many Holladay homes have additions added at various points. The seams (where addition meets original) often crack and need repainting every few years.
