Preventative upkeep protects your equity.

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.

Common Questions

Carpentry & Woodwork FAQ

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.
