Drywall & ceiling repair
A bay-window ceiling with water damage. We opened it up, cut out the damaged drywall, put in a new section, then taped, skimmed and sanded it until it blended back into the ceiling.
A leak above a bay window soaked the ceiling. The drywall was stained and soft, the paint was peeling, and once it was opened up the damage behind it was plain to see.
We cut the ceiling back to solid material, screwed in a new drywall section, taped the seams with mesh tape and mudded them, then built up several skim coats and sanded each one until the patch disappeared into the rest of the ceiling. The floors stayed covered the whole time.
More work
An old fence line along the side of a house, torn out down to the posts and replaced with a new cedar fence and section by the gate.
A raised wood deck with two stair runs, repainted top to bottom: deck boards, rails, balusters, posts and every tread.
A rotted corner on the back of a house, where the second-floor overhang meets the soffit. We tore out the bad wood, built the corner back with new trim and painted it to match.
A section of bathroom ceiling over the shower, cut out and replaced with new drywall, then taped, skim-coated and finished so it blends in next to the exhaust fan.
A new Whirlpool over-the-range microwave hung above a gas range. We cut the cabinet above for the exhaust and power cord, set the vent adapter, ran and connected the duct, then mounted the unit level and tested it.
An old, failing privacy fence replaced with new pressure-treated panels, including a run set on top of an existing retaining wall.
