Small repairs on your home can be inexpensive and are essential to keeping your house in good working order. Maintaining good mechanical performance and durability of your structure are key elements to sustainable housing. These small repairs will most likely reduce your need for more costly repairs later on.

What's Happening Outside?

The exterior of your home is the skin that keeps damaging elements out. Water that leaks into a wall cavity can cause major issues such as rot and mold. The caulking around doors and windows should be tight because any amount of cracking can allow moisture in. In older homes especially, the caulking is often the only layer keeping water out.

Any exterior wood surfaces are susceptible to rot and deterioration if paint is loose or missing. A home typically needs to be repainted every 7-10 years.

An evaluation of your exterior landscaping, gutters and downspouts, and foundation may reveal water flow that needs to be re-directed away from your foundation. Water that settles near the foundation can lead to leaks and can result in mold and other water issues.

Adding or replacing storm windows and doors can increase their efficiency. And sometimes it is worthwhile to replace windows and doors.

Repairs of flashing, sidings and trim work all contribute to a tight exterior seal and a dry interior wall space.

And Inside?

Sometimes things just aren't working right. We can re-fit existing doors and repair door thresholds or adjust door hardware. You may have a stairway that needs a railing or handrail. We can replace caulking around sinks, showers and tubs to prevent water entering your wall space from the inside.

Sometimes you need to change or re-organize your space, but a remodeling project is not in the budget. Smaller changes can really make a difference. Things like replacing door or cabinet hardware, installing new doors & millwork, or adding storage shelving or built-ins may be the change you need.

These are just a few examples of the many smaller jobs you may need help with.

What does it cost you?

We charge $55 per hour with a 2 hour minimum. We can estimate the amount of time a job will take before we come out.
