Before spring/summer: Michigan winters damage wood fibers. Getting deck boards swapped and railings secured in April/May prevents accidents during backyard barbecue season.
Before selling: A sagging fence gate or loose porch step is a direct red flag on a home inspector's checklist. Repairing these small items pre-listing keeps negotiations clean.
Tenant turnarounds: Scuffed baseboards or damaged door casings can be replaced in a single day, ensuring your rental looks pristine and well-cared-for to potential new tenants.
Replacing 2-3 deck boards: typically $150–$250 (excludes structural post/beam replacement).
Fence gate adjustment & hardware swap: typically $120–$190 (including new hinge/latch setup).
Baseboard trim install (average room): typically $200–$350 (depends on room size and miter count).
What modifies the price: composite vs. pressure-treated wood materials, complexity of texture/paint matches, degree of post rot, or height of stairs/railings.
Our standard: Flat-rate pricing is locked in before starting. You purchase/provide specific trim profiles or paint; standard screws, putty, and nails are supplied by us.

For small repairs (1-3 boards), the handyman can pick up the matching treated pine or cedar from the local supply store and add the materials cost directly to the invoice. For large trim packages, we will specify the materials list for you to order.
Repaired wood is left raw/natural. If you would like the new boards stained or painted to match your existing deck, we can quote that as a separate painting service line item.
