Common Lakewood Home Service Needs
Specialized solutions for 1920s-1960s homes

Some original Lakewood homes still have outdated knob-and-tube wiring. We assess and replace with modern, safe electrical systems while preserving walls and finishes.

Like much of Dallas, Lakewood homes on slab foundations occasionally experience under-slab pipe leaks. We offer leak detection and re-routing solutions.
