Electrician in Levittown

The houses in Levittown

Levittown was built by Levitt & Sons between 1952 and 1958, and most of it was built the same way: a single-story house on a concrete slab with no basement, a carport, and the original heating run as hot-water pipe cast into the slab itself. A handful of models were repeated thousands of times, so the same layouts, the same utility closets and the same access problems come up street after street. Seventy years on, most houses have been added to at least once — a second floor, a converted carport, a room over the garage — which means newer work layered on top of 1950s systems.
