Handyman Service Across Syracuse, NY

Syracuse grew up around salt springs on the south shore of Onondaga Lake and then along the Erie Canal, which once ran straight through what is now Erie Boulevard and Clinton Square. That history shaped a city of roughly 145,000 people whose houses are older than in most places its size. The Near Westside, Hawley-Green and Lincoln Hill hold Victorian and Italianate homes from the late 1800s. Tipperary Hill, the Northside and the Valley are lined with the upper-and-lower two-family flats that working families built through the 1910s and 1920s. Sedgwick, Strathmore, Westcott, University Hill and Eastwood fill in with Arts and Crafts houses, Tudors, foursquares and Dutch colonials from the first decades of the twentieth century. Add the converted lofts and new apartments around Armory Square and downtown, and a single week of work can run from a hundred-year-old plaster ceiling on James Street to a modern condo kitchen a few blocks from Hanover Square.

Daily life in Syracuse runs along a few familiar lines: I-81 and I-690 crossing at the heart of the city while the old viaduct gives way to the new community grid, Salina Street running north to south through downtown, James Street heading east to Eastwood and Genesee Street carrying traffic out toward Camillus in one direction and DeWitt in the other. The big parks anchor their neighborhoods, from Thornden Park on University Hill and Onondaga Park in Strathmore to Burnet Park and its zoo on the west side, and Syracuse University and Upstate Medical sit on the hill above downtown. Street parking tightens during snow emergencies and game days at the Dome, so we plan our stops around both.
