Home siding generally lasts 10-15 years. You may need to hire a professional to fix or replace siding if you notice cracks, warps, blisters, bubbles, fungus, or mold. Repairs or replacement may also be warranted if you have severe fading or signs of internal moisture on walls. You can also upgrade your siding to improve insulation and reduce heating and cooling bills or to transition to a material that is easier to maintain.

Masonry involves using bricks or stones and mortar to build walls, chimneys, and more. Over time the materials may break down, and you'll need to hire a professional to repair the structure. Masonry repair consists of filling cracks in the wall, repairing leaning walls, and replacing protruding bricks. It's important to address any masonry issues right away so they don't compromise the structure of your home.

Concrete walks and patios provide an easy-to-use, non-slip surface for guests on your property. Concrete needs less maintenace than other materials and is extremely durable, and stamped concrete can boost curb appeal by imitating the appearance of other materials. With a concrete patio you can avoid the frequent staining and sealing that wood decks need, and installation is quick and affordable.

An outdoor deck adds function and value to your home. There are many styles of decks, including attached, wrap-around, detached, multi-tier, and a swimming pool or hot tub deck. Decking can be made of wood, composite materials, or PVC. Deck building can be complex depending on the materials and style, so it's a good idea to hire a professional.

Some contractors offer handyman services, giving you the confidence that a professional is taking care of your home repair needs, such as drywall repair, painting, gutter cleaning, installation of doors or accessibility aids, and more. Before you have a handyman do specialized work, like handling water damage, structural repair, or electrical, be sure they are properly qualified and insured.

There are multiple types of home carpentry, which involves using wood to build everything from framing to cabinets to small decorative details. A carpenter can help you with custom woodworking, finish carpentry, cabinetry, new wall construction, and more.

Exterior and interior painting can refresh and protect your home. Exterior painting not only increases curb appeal, but it can also extend the life of siding and help prevent termite, mold, and sun damage. Interior painting is an easy way to personalize your space, add appeal, make your walls cleaner, and hide marks and repaired damage.

Home additions can add significant livable space to your property, but they are not DIY projects. Professionals can help you with bedroom or sun room additions, adding a floor to your home, or indoor patio additions. Be sure you choose an experienced contractor with appropriate licensing and insurance to get the job done right.

New construction can be a great way to get the exact home layout and materials you want, and it's also a good way to add to your livable property by building an addition. Single-family home construction allows you to work directly with professionals to pick out every detail of your new property, and remodeling uses new construction to improve or add to your home.
