Stop the rot before it spreads on your Palos Park house, with trim, siding and deck repairs priced in writing before any wood comes off.
Our repair work covers the inside and outside of the house: soft window sills, split siding boards, a deck tread that flexes, a drywall crack over a doorway, a faucet that will not stop dripping. You give us the list and we give you a price for each item. If it is a few things, texted photos are often enough to price it. A longer list gets a visit and an itemized estimate in writing. When we pull a board and find the damage goes deeper than it looked, we stop and price the rest before going on.
Palos Park is on our regular route, reached on Route 45, 123rd Street and McCarthy Road. The village borders the Palos and Sag Valley forest preserves, and a lot of homes sit on wooded lots. Shade and leaf litter keep wood damp, so siding near grade, trim under the gutters and the deck boards that never see sun are where rot starts. We probe the soft spots, replace only what has failed, and prime every cut end and new board so it sheds water instead of soaking it up.
Soft window sills, casing and fascia are cut back to sound wood, replaced and primed.
Split or soft siding boards are pulled and replaced, and the joints caulked.
Boards and treads that flex, split or stay soft are replaced and fastened with the right screws.
Loose posts and wobbly rails are refastened or rebuilt so they hold weight.
Cracks over doors and windows and holes in walls are taped, patched and primed.
Dripping faucets and running toilets are rebuilt or replaced, along with the shutoffs that feed them.
We start by looking, either at your photos or at the house itself, and then write up every item with its price. Once you approve the estimate, we put you on the schedule. Rot has a way of running past the first board, so if it does, we show you, price the extra in writing and wait for your approval. When the work is done, we walk the outside and inside items with you and point out anything worth keeping an eye on.
Send photos of the trim, siding or deck boards that worry you, and we will tell you what it takes to fix them.
