Something need fixing?

Not every project calls for a major renovation. Sometimes you just need a reliable local contractor who will actually take care of the things on your list. Brass Lantern Homeworks provides home repair and handyman services in Newport News, with particular experience working in the older homes found throughout Hilton Village and surrounding neighborhoods.

Home Repairs

Small repairs, damaged finishes, drywall, household fixes, punch-list items, and those projects you've been meaning to get done.

Doors & Trim

Door repair and installation, sticking doors, damaged or missing trim, molding, finish carpentry, and other detail work.

Plaster & Walls

Repair solutions for the traditional plaster and lath walls commonly found in older and historic homes.

Handyman Projects

Small home improvement projects, repairs, assembly, mounting, hardware, and miscellaneous jobs that don't require a full remodeling crew.

Installations

TV mounting, shelving, fixtures, hardware, household accessories, and other interior installations.

Seasonal Maintenance

Preventive and seasonal maintenance to help catch small problems before they become larger repairs.

Older homes deserve thoughtful work.

Older homes weren't built like new ones—and repairing them shouldn't always mean replacing everything with something new.

Hilton Village and Newport News are full of homes with original plaster, wood trim, solid doors, unusual dimensions, and decades of repairs and modifications. Brass Lantern Homeworks approaches these projects with an appreciation for the home's existing materials and character.

Repair when it makes sense. Replace when it doesn't. Improve without erasing what makes the house special.

Whether you're dealing with a sticking original door, damaged plaster, aging trim, or a list of repairs around the house, we'll help determine a practical way forward.
