Board replacement, railing fixes, gate repair, power-washing, and stain/seal to protect your home's exterior. Serving Montclair homeowners and property managers with upfront pricing and same-week availability.
Montclair's tree canopy is half the reason people move here — and the main reason decks and fences in town work harder than the suburban average. Shade keeps wood damp longer after rain, which invites moss on deck boards and rot at fence-post bases, while falling limbs and acorns take a steady toll on rails and pickets. Our exterior repair service replaces individual boards and posts, re-hangs sagging gates, tightens or rebuilds railings, power-washes safely (low pressure on old wood), and applies stain or sealer so the repair lasts. On the older properties around Watchung Plaza and the South End, decks are often structurally sound but cosmetically rough — smart candidates for repair rather than replacement. One check any homeowner can do this weekend: grab the deck railing and push hard, then probe the ledger board where the deck meets the house with a screwdriver. Soft wood at the ledger is the one deck problem that shouldn't wait, because that connection is what holds the whole structure up. Fully insured, and honest about repair versus replace.
