Services
What We Do And Why It Matters
Carpentry
Why carpentry matters: Carpentry is foundational to safe and functional homes. Whether it’s structural framing, stair repair, window or door framing, or finish trim, precision carpentry ensures safety, comfort, and polished aesthetics. Improper carpentry can lead to drafts, water intrusion, uneven floors, and long-term maintenance problems.
What we offer: Structural repairs, framing, trim and molding installation, built-ins, custom shelving, stair and railing repairs, window and door trim, and flashing details to protect against moisture.
Typical timeline: Small repairs: 1 day to 1 week. Larger renovation carpentry: 1–4 weeks depending on scope.
Decks
Why decks matter: A well-built deck extends living space and enhances property value. Vermont’s freeze-thaw cycles and moisture exposure require proper flashing, fastener selection, and drainage design to avoid rot and structural failure.
What we offer: Design consultation, deck replacement, deck repair, composite and wood options, railing installations, and maintenance advice (staining, sealing).
Typical timeline: Repairs: 1–3 days. New decks: 1–3 weeks based on size and complexity.
Residential Interior Painting
Why interior painting matters: Fresh paint revitalizes interiors, protects surfaces, and can improve perceived property value. Proper surface preparation is often the most important step — without it paint won’t adhere or last.
What we offer: Surface preparation (patching, sanding), priming, low-VOC paints, trim and door painting, color consultation, and full-room or whole-house painting.
Typical timeline: Single room: 1–3 days. Whole-house interior: 1–2 weeks depending on size.
Bathroom Remodeling
Why bathroom remodeling matters: Bathrooms are high-use, high-impact spaces that should be both functional and resilient. A thoughtful remodel increases comfort, accessibility, and resale value while addressing moisture management and ventilation.
What we offer: Full bathroom renovations, fixture upgrades, tile and shower installation, waterproofing, vanity and cabinet installation, ventilation improvements, and ADA-friendly alterations.
Typical timeline: Bathroom remodels typically take 2–4 weeks depending on demolition, plumbing/electrical work required, and tile curing times.
Power Washing & Pressure Cleaning
Why power washing matters: Exterior surfaces accumulate dirt, mildew, algae, and old finish. Power washing restores curb appeal and prepares surfaces for staining or painting. Done incorrectly, pressure washing can damage wood and siding — proper pressure and technique are essential.
What we offer: Safe cleaning of decks, siding, walkways, driveways, and preparation services for painting or staining. Soft wash options for delicate surfaces.
Typical timeline: Most power washing jobs complete in one day for single properties; multiple structures may extend scheduling.
Client inspection and resolution of any small items before final payment.
