Service

Punch-list & pre-closing repairs.

The stuff appraisers flag. The stuff your realtor said fix before closing. Loose stairs, drywall patches, exterior door frames, porches, windows that won't seal. Small jobs priced fair — $50/hr labor plus materials, itemized so you can see where the money goes.

What we mean by "punch list."

Refinancing or selling? The appraiser or inspector hands over a list of items the lender wants fixed before closing. Most GCs don't want the small work. We do — because you have a deadline, and we can hit it.

Send us the appraiser's report or the realtor's punch list. We come look, price it line-by-line, and get your lender what they need to close.

Common items

Stuff we see over and over.

Loose stair treads

Tighten, re-nail, sometimes replace one tread. Refinish so it matches.

Drywall patches

Three coats of mud, sand smooth, prime, touch up paint. Not a "we'll paint the whole wall" upsell.

Exterior door frames

Split jambs, worn weatherstripping, re-secure the frame, prime and paint.

Windows that won't seal

Re-caulk, replace cracked panes, touch up trim paint. Sometimes reglaze wood sash on older homes.

Porch decking

Replace loose or rotted boards, tighten the handrail, re-secure posts, prime and paint.

GFCI outlets

Missing GFCI in bathrooms and kitchens. Quick fix — done with a state-licensed electrician on our crew.

Smoke & CO detectors

Missing or expired. Hardwired or battery, whatever the local code requires.

Grading & downspouts

Extend downspouts away from foundation, correct positive drainage where appraisers flag it.

Handrails

Missing exterior handrails on porches and stairs — a common lender-required fix.
