The service

What to expect

A new coat of paint cannot correct loose or damaged wood on its own. Minor carpentry repair may be appropriate around trim, doors and other details before painting. We look at the condition and discuss whether the work fits a light repair scope or calls for another type of contractor.

Common project details

Work suited to your project

Discuss small damaged sections of interior or exterior trim.

Door details

Wood replacement

Identify limited rotted or unsound wood that may need replacement before paint.

The final scope and availability depend on your property and are confirmed when we review your project.
