Retexturing can help repair and rejuvinate stucco on the outside of your home, and can add visual interest and hide imperfections inside. Retexturing stucco can allow you to smooth it, making cleaning and maintenance easier. During exterior retexturing, the professional will power-wash the home, apply a new stucco base coat, and then apply the finish. Inside, retexturing walls involves removing any existing texture, repairing the drywall as needed, and applying compound, spray, stipple, or velvet texture. After it dries, the wall can be primed and painted.

Retaining walls can be helpful for preventing soil erosion, improving drainage, and adding interest to landscaping. The type of wall depends on your goals, the type of soil, and what will be above and below the wall. Retaining walls can be made of stones, bricks, steel, or treated wood.

Different types of driveways require different kinds of maintenance, but they all need upkeep to maximize their lifespan. Concrete and asphalt driveways need to be resealed every few years; brick driveways need weed removal, and most driveways need regular powerwashing to remove dirt, sand, oil, and other debris.

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.

Drywall is generally easy to maintain. Drywall cleaning is as simple as dusting regularly and washing off dirt and stains. Drywall repair includes filling or patching holes and then sanding and painting it to match the surrounding drywall. In cases where there's significant water damage or other concerns, you may need to replace the drywall in the area completely.

Fencing and gates add privacy and security, show clearly where the property line is, and provide children and pets a safe place to play. Fencing and gates can be made of wood, metal, vinyl, or composite materials. Fencing maintenance includes regular cleaning and repair of any damage, and, for wood fencing, regular restaining and resealing.
