Can you handle other work while you are here?

Usually yes. We run painting, exterior repair and carpentry, doors and trim, and remodeling, so related Central Southwest work can go on the same scope instead of a second trip.

Do you serve all of Harris County?

Yes, Harris County is core coverage for us, Central Southwest included, along with the neighboring counties in the Houston metro. If a project sits outside it, we say so on the first call instead of padding the price.

What does wood rot repair actually include?

The default Central Southwest scope: Trim, fascia, sills and jambs probed for soft wood; Failed material cut out back to solid framing; Replacement milled to match the existing profile. Anything beyond that is listed separately on your quote.

Do you take on small wood rot repair jobs?
