Exterior Carpentry

Exterior Carpentry

The outside of the house is wood too, and weather is harder on it than anything inside. Everything gets cut and fitted the same way, but out here the prep and the fastening matter more, not less.

We repair and replace siding, exterior trim, fascia, soffit, columns, decks, railings, cable rail systems and fences. That means rotted fascia squared so the drip edge actually sheds water, soffit refitted to the rafter line, loose siding re-hung, deck soft spots and framing checked, posts repaired, cable rail tensioned and anchored to code height, and sagging board or picket fence re-posted.

The work is measured in place against a level rather than eyeballed. Deck framing and stairs get proper hangers, ledger flashing and joist spacing, trim gets sealed ends and fasteners chosen for the material, and every opening is checked for the way water actually leaves the wall.

If it is wood on the outside of the house and it needs to be straight, tight and square, that is the job. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly what it takes.
