How often should I stain my deck in San Diego?
San Diego's intense sun means decks need re-staining every 2-3 years to prevent UV damage and graying. We recommend oil-based penetrating stains for best protection. Semi-transparent stains show wood grain while solid stains offer maximum UV protection. We assess your deck's condition and recommend the right approach.
Can you fix stucco cracks on my house?
Yes — stucco crack repair is a common service. Hairline cracks can be sealed with elastomeric caulk. Larger cracks require patching and texture matching. We assess whether cracks are cosmetic or indicate underlying issues, and recommend appropriate repairs.
Do you install outdoor lighting?
Yes — we install landscape lighting, security lights, pathway fixtures, and deck/patio lighting. Low-voltage LED systems are most popular for landscapes. We coordinate with electricians for line-voltage fixtures requiring permits. Solar options work well for pathways and accent lighting.
How do I know if my deck needs repair or replacement?
Signs deck needs repair: isolated soft/rotted boards, loose railings, popped fasteners, minor structural issues. Signs deck needs replacement: widespread rot, structural failure, posts sinking, most boards damaged. We assess your deck honestly and recommend the most cost-effective solution.
What exterior repairs should I do before selling my home?
Priority exterior repairs for resale: fence repairs (buyers notice immediately), fresh exterior caulking, clean gutters, deck staining, driveway pressure washing, and landscape lighting. These relatively affordable improvements significantly boost curb appeal and buyer confidence.
