Question Answers
How do you prevent wood fences from cracking during Peru’s freeze-thaw cycles?
We use kiln-dried, pressure-treated lumber and set posts at least 36 inches deep—below the frost line—to minimize ground movement. We also leave small gaps between pickets to allow for natural expansion and contraction. For gates, we reinforce the frame and use adjustable hinges so you can easily realign the gate if settling occurs.
Can you build a custom deck that matches my home’s layout, even for a small backyard?
Absolutely. We design decks for any size yard, from compact patios to multi-level structures. We start with a free consultation to measure your space and discuss your needs—whether it’s room for a grill, seating, or a hot tub. Then we create a custom plan and handle permits and construction, all with a workmanship warranty.
Do you repair drywall from water damage or holes, and can you match existing texture?
Yes, we repair drywall for any issue—water stains, cracks, holes from doorknobs, or remodeling. We match the wall texture (orange peel, knockdown, smooth, etc.) so the patch blends in. For larger areas, we can replace entire sheets and tape, mud, and sand for a seamless finish.
