Exterior & Yard

Sun, wind, and hard water attack the outside first.

Everything on the outside of a desert house is in a fight with the weather. Screens rot in the sun, gates rack in the wind, drip lines clog with minerals, and dust finds every gap in a door. I patrol that whole list, and outside work batches beautifully into one visit.

What I handle

• Fence and gate repair, sagging gates, latches, posts, and pickets
• Window and patio door screens, rescreened or rebuilt
• Drip irrigation, emitters, lines, timers, and valves
• Outdoor lighting, low voltage paths and patio string lights
• Weather stripping and door sweeps against dust and heat
• House numbers, mailboxes, and flag brackets mounted solid
• Patio furniture, assembled and secured, umbrellas included
• Outdoor spigots and hose bibs that drip or spray

Where the line is

Full new fence runs, block walls, concrete, roofing, and tree work are licensed trades. My lane is repair and small installs that keep what you have working, under $1,000 all in. I am not a licensed contractor. California law limits my jobs to under $1,000 total for labor and materials, on work that needs no building permit.

The other side of the toolbox: Plumbing, Electrical, Carpentry. And every city I work in is on the service areas page.
