Common Questions

My wooden fence is starting to rot and warp from the Ohio humidity—what are the signs that it needs to be replaced instead of repaired?

In Dayton's humid summers, wood fences often show rot at the base of posts, splitting along the grain, and warping that prevents gates from closing properly. If more than 20% of your fence has soft or crumbling wood, or if it leans significantly, replacement is usually more cost-effective than repeated repairs. Ashurst Construction can assess your fence and recommend either targeted drywall/fence repair or a full replacement with weather-resistant materials.

The previous owners painted over wallpaper in my 1950s Dayton home—how can you remove it without damaging the drywall underneath?

Removing painted-over wallpaper is tricky because the paint creates a moisture-resistant barrier. We start by scoring the wallpaper to allow our steam remover to penetrate, then carefully peel it away in sections. For stubborn spots, we use a gentle solvent and a plastic scraper to avoid gouging the drywall. After removal, we inspect the drywall for any damage from the old adhesive and repair it before offering to repaint the interior.

My home's exterior paint is peeling badly near the roofline—is this a sign of a bigger problem with moisture in the attic?

Peeling paint near the roofline in Dayton homes often indicates trapped moisture in the attic from inadequate ventilation or ice dams in winter. Before we repaint the exterior trim, we recommend checking attic vents and insulation. Our painters can handle the exterior painting, but we also partner with local contractors for any needed attic repairs. Once the moisture source is addressed, we'll scrape, prime, and apply a high-quality exterior paint to prevent future peeling.
