Builder warranties may not cover these — we help fill the gaps.

Older properties often have larger scopes but also larger lots to work with.

Exterior Improvements in San Marcos FAQ
Common questions about exterior improvements in San Marcos.
Do you offer Exterior Improvements in San Marcos?
Yes — we provide exterior improvements in San Marcos and nearby North County San Diego areas. Request an estimate and we'll confirm timing.
How much does fence repair cost in San Diego?
Fence repairs in North County San Diego typically run $200-$800 depending on scope. Post replacement averages $150-$300 per post. Gate repairs run $150-$400. Full fence replacement costs $25-$45 per linear foot for wood, $30-$50 for vinyl. We provide exact pricing after assessing your fence.
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.
