Call (301) 395-3831

Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors only work if they are placed in the right locations and are functioning correctly. In Takoma Park homes, code requires detectors on every level, in every sleeping area, and near fuel-burning appliances. Our team installs battery and interconnected hardwired detectors in the correct locations, replaces units that are past their manufacturer lifespan, and tests every installation before leaving.

Takoma Park was laid out in the 1880s as a Victorian commuter suburb, and much of its housing still dates to that era: Queen Annes, bungalows, and Colonial Revivals on narrow, deep lots. Plaster walls, settled frames, and original trim are normal here, and they deserve repairs made in kind.

Property Renovators Home Services is licensed and insured in Maryland, MHIC #112963.

What We See in Takoma Park Homes

Takoma Park was laid out in the 1880s as a Victorian commuter suburb, and much of its stock still dates to that era: Queen Annes, bungalows, and Colonial Revivals on narrow, deep lots along hilly gridded streets, inside and around a National Register historic district.

Knob-and-tube and early wiring turn up in the pre-1960 houses here, so the circuit gets checked before a new fixture goes in.
