What are some common carpentry repairs you do in Scottsdale?
Our technicians have extensive experience with all types of wood repairs for Scottsdale homes. Common needs include replacing rotted deck boards, addressing gaps or warping in exterior siding and trim, reinforcing or rebuilding damaged railings and stairs, sealing cracks in brick and stone mortar gaps, and removing pest-infested wood. If your home has wood damage, we can repair it to look like new!
What types of sealants do you use?
We use high-performance, waterproof, breathable sealants designed to last in Scottsdale’s climate. Our recommended sealants meet strict VOC regulations and offer protection against moisture, sunlight, mildew, and pests. We’ll help you choose the best protective sealant for each exterior wood repair project to ensure long-lasting results.
Should I repair or fully replace the damaged exterior wood?
This depends on several factors our technicians assess during the inspection, especially the extent of the damage. If less than 40% of a wood element is damaged, targeted repairs with sealants may be sufficient. More severe damage may require full replacement with mold-resistant lumber. In some cases, low-maintenance PVC or engineered wood might be the most practical solution.
Can you match the existing wood siding and trim on my older home?
Absolutely! No matter what materials were originally used on your Scottsdale home, we can source or recreate replacement wood details. For homes with unique or obsolete profiles, we’ll custom-mill new trim to match perfectly. This allows us to preserve the architectural integrity of historic or classic homes in the area.
How long do your carpentry repairs typically take?
Project timelines depend on factors like the extent of the damage, the repair approach, material availability, weather conditions, and the complexity of matching or recreating details. Small rot repairs usually take 1-2 days, while larger siding or deck replacements can take 5-7 days, not including sealant cure time. We’ll provide a detailed schedule before starting your project.
How much disruption should I expect during the repair process?
We strive to minimize dust, noise, and inconvenience. We contain the work area to prevent property damage and safety issues. For interior repairs, there may be some dust, so covering furniture temporarily may be necessary. Exterior repairs usually have minimal impact on household activities unless safety requires limited access to certain areas. We always clean up thoroughly once the repairs are complete.
