Repairs in Hyattsville
20781 covers the older core of the City of Hyattsville, around the city building on Gallatin Street and David C. Driskell Community Park, along with the Town of Edmonston and part of East Riverdale. Small corners of Riverdale Park, Cheverly, Bladensburg and Colmar Manor also fall inside it. Baltimore Avenue, US Route 1, runs through it, lined by part of the Gateway Arts District.
Hyattsville is an incorporated city with its own mayor and council, Edmonston is a separate town, and East Riverdale is unincorporated Prince George's County. Your street may be in any of them.
The Hyattsville Historic District, listed on the National Register in 1982 and enlarged in 2004, has Victorian houses from the late 1800s alongside bungalows and Arts and Crafts houses built between the world wars. Along Route 1, redevelopment has added townhouses, condos and apartment buildings.
Historic houses and tight kitchens
Kitchens in the historic district are often small or tucked into a later addition, and laundry is usually in the basement down a steep stair. Repairs are nearly always done in place. If an appliance has to come out, we'll check the doorways and stairs first and tell you before we move it.
Flooding near the Northeast Branch
Edmonston sits by the Northeast Branch of the Anacostia and flooded repeatedly in the early 2000s before a new stormwater pumping station was built. Low-lying streets on this side of the ZIP still take heavy rain seriously.
If a basement appliance has been in standing water, leave it unplugged until it's dry and has been checked, and mention the flooding when you book. Consider raising a basement washer, dryer or freezer on a sturdy, level platform.
Condos and townhouses in the arts district
The newer buildings along Route 1 usually have stacked laundry and compact kitchens. Condo owners can book directly; renters should check with management. Tell us about parking and building access, since Route 1 has limited curb space.
Old wiring and new appliances
A house built in the 1890s or 1920s has had its wiring upgraded in stages, and not every kitchen circuit keeps up with a modern microwave, dishwasher and refrigerator. If a breaker trips when two appliances run at once, the problem may be the circuit rather than the appliance.
We test at the appliance and tell you honestly if the house wiring is at fault, which is a job for an electrician.
Setting up a visit in 20781

Questions About Repairs in 20781
The questions that come up most often. Anything not covered here, ask us when you call, or add it to the booking form's notes field.
Have a different question?
Tell us what make it is and what's going wrong. A few things can be settled over the phone, and anything else gets looked at during the visit.
No. Edmonston is its own town, though it shares the 20781 ZIP and a Hyattsville mailing address. We cover it along with the rest of the ZIP.
Yes. The appliance doesn't know how old the house is, but the connections behind it might. We look over the gas, water and electrical hookups during the visit, and if the house is the culprit, you'll hear that.
