Repair & Maintenance in Northwest Atlanta

Most homes in Cobb and Cherokee were built in waves, and each wave has its own weak points. Hardboard siding on 1980s and 1990s houses in Marietta, Kennesaw and Acworth swells where water gets past the paint, usually along bottom edges and around windows. Wood fascia and rake boards under shaded rooflines stay damp and soften over time. Older homes in-town and near Marietta Square tend to need sill, sash and trim work after decades of repainting.

The weather here makes small gaps grow fast. Summer storms push water into open joints, humidity keeps trim from fully drying, and spring pollen mixed with rain forms a film that holds moisture against wood. Gutters clogged with pine needles overflow onto fascia and siding. Inspecting those spots and fixing them early costs far less than replacing large sections after a few more seasons of neglect.

Repair work and painting are planned as one scope. Exterior fixes go in ahead of exterior painting so primer and finish land on solid material, and failed joints are resealed through caulking. Inside, patches, trim touch-ups and drywall repair are handled the same way, with one team responsible for the whole result.
