  • Repairing concrete walks and driveways
  • Replacing gutters and downspouts
  • Replacing hot water heater
  • Repairing or replacing roof
  • Repairing porches and steps
  • Repairing original siding
  • Patching or repairing interior walls or ceilings
  • Exterior painting
  • Replacing electrical fixtures
  • Exterior awnings and shutters
  • Replacing screens, storm windows, and doors
  • Exterior landscaping including lawns, shrubbery, trees, flowers and driveways of any kind
