Most houses in western Pennsylvania are older than they look from the street. That is not a problem if someone will actually open the wall, find the leak, and put the room back together. That is the work.

I handle residential repairs and ongoing maintenance: plumbing fixtures, drywall, trim, doors that stick in January, outlets that died, and the small failures that stack up until they are a weekend you do not have.

You do not need a general contractor for a punch list. You need someone who will show up, diagnose it, and finish it. Call and describe the room. I will tell you if it is a one-visit job.
