Home repairs & remodeling in Lockport

Lockport homes, from downtown along the canal to the neighborhoods off Farrell Road, get careful prep and a written estimate before any work.

Lockport repairs, painting and remodeling

We work in Lockport every week. Route 7 and Route 171 bring us in, and Farrell Road gets us to the rest of the city. ONIT Solutions handles repairs, painting, remodels and insurance rebuilds here. You get a written estimate before anything starts.

In Lockport we patch plaster and drywall, rehang doors, replace trim, paint inside and out and remodel kitchens and bathrooms. Each job starts with a visit and a written price. The crew handles the carpentry, finishes and the plumbing and electrical the project touches, and any added work waits for your written approval. Floors get covered, and the dust stays in the room we are working in.

Downtown Lockport, the I&M Canal and the houses around them

Downtown Lockport sits along the I&M Canal on State Street, and some of the houses near it have plaster walls, wood trim and floors that are no longer level. Out along Farrell Road and Route 7, drywall and vinyl siding are the norm. Both get the same care, but not the same methods.

Older trim and plaster reward patience. We look for a trim profile that matches before we cut anything, patch plaster instead of tearing it out and adjust doors so they close in an out-of-square frame. On drywall houses, the work is more about corner cracks, nail pops and leak stains. Either way, we tell you in writing what we plan to do.

Painting in Lockport starts with the prep

A paint job lasts as long as the prep under it. Inside, we patch, sand, caulk and prime before any color goes on, and we protect floors and furniture while we work. On plaster walls, we fill cracks so they do not show through the new coat.

Exterior painting runs spring to fall in Lockport, when the weather lets paint cure properly. We scrape loose paint, replace rotted trim, caulk the joints and prime bare wood first. If siding or soffit is past the point where paint helps, we tell you and price the repair in writing. Paint jobs rarely need a permit, but we pull one for any remodel where the City of Lockport requires it.

Do I need a permit to remodel a bathroom in Lockport?
If the work moves plumbing, adds wiring or changes walls, it usually does. We check with the City of Lockport, pull the permit and schedule the inspections.
How do I get an estimate for painting?

When can you paint my exterior?
Exterior work runs spring to fall. We set the dates with you and book around the days we said, shifting for rain so paint never goes onto wet wood.
My Lockport door will not close since the house settled. Can you fix it?
Yes. We adjust or rehang the door, shim the frame and plane it where needed so it closes and latches. Text a photo to (815) 585-1750 and we will tell you what we think it needs.
