Common questions
A clearer next step before you commit to a scope.
Why maintain after restoration?
Exterior wood keeps moving and weathering. Planned maintenance helps catch sealant, finish, deck, and water-management issues before they become surprise projects.
Can you document condition for remote owners?
Yes. The maintenance path is built around photo-documented findings and written next-step recommendations.
