Handyman & carpentry in DeKalb County
East DeKalb runs straight into Snellville along US 78. Older bungalows and brick ranches in the inner ring, newer subdivisions out toward Stonecrest — two very different repair lists.
12 cities we cover in DeKalb County
Stone Mountain
Straight down US 78 from Snellville. Older ranch and split-level homes where doors, floors and drywall are the standing list.
Stone Mountain details →Lithonia
A mix of older in-town housing and newer subdivisions. Fence repair and exterior carpentry come up a lot on the older streets.
Lithonia details →Stonecrest
Newer city, largely 1990s–2000s subdivisions. Builder-grade finishes at the age where they start needing replacement rather than repair.
Stonecrest details →Tucker
Solid mid-century housing with real bones. Good candidates for built-ins, trim upgrades and door work rather than tear-out.
Tucker details →Decatur
Older bungalows and craftsman homes where matching existing trim profiles actually matters. That is carpentry, and it is what we do first.
Decatur details →Clarkston
Compact older housing and a lot of rental turnover, which means fast punch lists: doors, drywall, fixtures and floors in one visit.
Clarkston details →Avondale Estates
A small city with genuinely historic housing. Trim, doors and windows here reward being repaired rather than replaced.
Avondale Estates details →Pine Lake
Tiny lakeside city with cottages and heavy tree cover. Exterior wood, decks and gutters get the most work.
Pine Lake details →Chamblee
Older bungalow streets next to new townhome development. Interior carpentry and mounting work dominate on the townhome side.
Chamblee details →Doraville
Post-war ranch housing plus commercial space. Straightforward repair lists and steady commercial fixture work.
Doraville details →Brookhaven
Renovated older homes and new infill. Finish carpentry, built-ins and cabinetry are the usual ask rather than repairs.
Brookhaven details →Dunwoody
Large 1970s–80s homes at the age where trim, decks, doors and floors all come due. Good punch-list territory.
