FAQs
How do you prevent fence rail separation and loose fasteners in Springfield's climate?
Springfield’s freeze-thaw winters and summer winds can loosen standard screws and cause horizontal rails to pull away from posts. We address this by using coated stainless steel or self-tapping screws with larger heads, and we reinforce each joint with structural brackets where needed. During installation or repair, we also pre-drill to reduce wood splitting and check tension on every connection. For existing fences, we replace any rusted fasteners and re-secure loose rails using the same hardware approach. This keeps your fence sturdy through our local weather.
Can you build a deck addition that matches my existing construction?
Yes. We regularly build deck additions and full replacements that tie into your home’s roofline and exterior. We start with a free on-site assessment to match materials, stain or paint colors, and stair or railing styles. Whether we’re attaching a new deck to a home or replacing a worn structure, we ensure the ledger board is properly flashed and the footings meet local codes. If you’re in the Iles Park or East Lake Drive area, we can reference nearby projects with similar layouts.
Do you handle full home remodeling, or do you subcontract parts of a project?
As a general contractor, we oversee the entire project from start to finish, but we do use trusted local subcontractors for specialized trades like electrical and plumbing. Our own crew handles framing, siding, decking, fencing, window and door installation, and finish carpentry. We coordinate each step so you have one point of contact for scheduling, material ordering, and quality checks. For a complete kitchen-and-bath remodel or converting a sunroom into a year-round addition, we manage everything.
