How is my estimate built?
We see the property, check the surfaces, and write what is included.
EstimatesWhy not show one price online?
Prep, repairs, access, and size change the work. A site visit gives you a useful price.
EstimatesCan you work in an occupied home?
Yes. We plan room order, protection, access, pets, and daily cleanup with you.
InteriorWhat can delay exterior work?
Rain, temperature, wet surfaces, repairs, and product needs can change the schedule.
ExteriorWhat do you check on cabinets?
We review the parts, old finish, damage, hardware, mask lines, and new coating.
CabinetsWhat do you check on decks, docks, and fences?
We review the wood, old finish, damage, moisture, access, and needed prep.
