Drywall repair and sheetrock installation

Drywall is one of our most requested services. We patch holes, cracks and water damage, match existing wall and ceiling textures so the repair disappears, and hang, tape and finish new sheetrock for remodels, additions and garage conversions. Water-damaged drywall is cut out and the source of the leak addressed before it is replaced.

Painting

We paint interiors and exteriors, from a single room to a whole house. Good paint jobs come down to preparation: we patch and sand walls, repair damaged trim, protect floors and furniture, and clean up at the end of every day. Exterior painting starts with replacing any rotted wood so the new paint is not covering a problem.

Flooring

We install flooring in single rooms or throughout the home, including waterproof vinyl plank that suits kitchens, bathrooms and rentals. We remove the old flooring, prepare the subfloor so the new floor lies flat, and finish with new baseboards or trim where needed.

Fixtures, doors and minor plumbing

We replace light fixtures, ceiling fans, faucets and bathroom accessories; install, repair and adjust interior and exterior doors that stick, drag or will not latch; and handle minor plumbing repairs such as leaking faucets and fixture replacements. Bigger plumbing changes are handled as part of a bathroom or kitchen remodel.

For property managers

Busy property managers across Monterey County count on us for turnover and maintenance work: punch lists between tenants, drywall and paint touch-ups, flooring replacement and fixture repairs, scheduled and finished so units are ready to rent.

Small jobs, same standards
