We handle exterior repairs that last. We replace rotted deck boards while protecting your underlying framing joists from splitting, apply protective butyl joist tape to keep moisture out, through-bolt loose stair railings, and rebuild sagging fence gates with sturdy diagonal braces and heavy-duty hinges so they swing freely.
•Splintered, rotted deck boards catching bare feet and wobbly stair railings
•Sagging fence gates dragging on the lawn and failing to latch for dogs
•Cracked vinyl or composite siding letting rain behind the wall
•Sagging gutters overflowing and dumping rainwater against your foundation
How We Fix It Right
Craftsman Resolution
We diagnose the underlying cause before starting work, protect your floors and furniture with drop cloths, and confirm the expected time and scope before work begins.
Protecting Your Home Exterior From Idaho Sun & Winter Freeze-Thaw
Treasure Valley exteriors take a beating: triple-digit summer UV bakes south- and west-facing wood dry, and winter freeze-thaw cycles expand water inside deck joints, fence posts, and siding corners. Catching rot and loose fasteners early prevents full structural rebuilds.
Zone 01 • Backyard Wood & Composite Decks
Soft Deck Boards, Popped Nails & Loose Ledger Framing
Why It Happens: Water sits between horizontal deck boards and the top of the wood joists underneath, trapping moisture around old smooth-shank nails until the boards cup, splinter, and rot.
Where & How We Fix It: We pry up rotted or split decking, inspect and sister weakened joists with flashing tape protection, and fasten new cedar, redwood, or composite boards using coated structural deck screws.
Zone 02 • Deck Stairs, Landings & Porch Railings
Wobbly Handrails & Loose Stair Stringers
Why It Happens: Railing posts notched over the outside rim joist or held by toenails loosen as wood dries out, creating a serious fall hazard when someone leans against the rail.
Where & How We Fix It: We reinforce railing posts with through-bolts and structural tension hardware anchored into the deck framing, and rebuild cracked stair treads and stringer hangers.
Zone 03 • Side-Yard Wood & Vinyl Fence Gates
Sagging Gates That Drag Across the Grass or Concrete
Why It Happens: Gravity pulls the latch side of a wide fence gate downward whenever the gate lacks a proper diagonal compression brace or hangs on short hinge screws in a leaning post.
Where & How We Fix It: We reset or brace leaning hinge posts, install heavy-duty adjustable gate hinges and a steel anti-sag turnbuckle or diagonal compression brace, and align self-latching hardware.
Zone 04 • Siding, Soffits, Fascia & Window Trim
Swollen Trim Corners, Peeling Paint & Open Caulking
Why It Happens: Sprinkler overspray and roof runoff soak into unprimed bottom cut ends of wood siding and window trim, causing mushroomed rot and open gaps where wasps and mice enter.
Where & How We Fix It: We cut out rotted trim and siding boards, back-prime all six sides of replacement boards before installation, seal joints with high-flex elastomeric exterior sealant, and secure loose soffit panels.
