Cordova neighborhoods were built across different decades, which means homes here sit on slabs and framing systems that behave differently under the same weather. Loess soil still underlies the area, but grading and drainage vary widely, so some houses settle evenly while others drift just enough to cause alignment problems. We often see interior doors rubbing in one part of the house but not another, or fence sections leaning while adjacent panels stay straight. Humidity also plays a role — homes with older HVAC layouts tend to trap moisture in certain rooms, accelerating trim separation and hardware loosening. Cordova handyman work is less about one big fix and more about correcting imbalances caused by how the home was built and how the ground responds underneath it.
