Small defects are rarely only small. A sticking door is often a settling frame; a stain on a ceiling is a roof or a supply line. Fixing the symptom and ignoring the cause is how a cheap repair becomes an expensive one.
Dry summers and wet winters concentrate water intrusion into a few months, so flashing and drainage details that hold are what matter most.
Exterior maintenance - caulk joints, failed glazing, clogged gutters, soft deck boards - is where deferred work compounds fastest, because every one of those lets water into something that costs more than the fix.
What the job includes
- Drywall patching and texture
- Door, window and trim repair
- Deck and fence repair
- Fixture and hardware replacement
- Gutter and exterior caulking
- Seasonal maintenance visits
