Restoration

Home Restoration

Older Crawford County homes are built to last, but time takes a toll — rotted wood, failing trim, sagging porches, drafty windows. Most contractors want to gut and replace. Mark restores rather than rips out wherever he can, matching original woodwork and protecting the details that give your home its soul.

Carpentry

Carpentry & Wood Repair

Wood rot, wobbly railings, a deck that's seen better summers, a door that won't close right — small carpentry problems get worse (and pricier) the longer they wait. Mark handles the full range — from plaster work and flooring all the way up to additions and full restorations — with clean, durable work and a clear quote up front.

Maintenance

Home Maintenance & Care Plans

Most expensive home repairs start as cheap ones nobody got to in time. A clogged gutter becomes water damage. Loose caulk becomes rot. A Care Plan puts your home on a quarterly schedule, so you're not the one up on a ladder — and not the one paying for the big repair later.

Accessibility

Senior & Veteran Home Services

The biggest reason people leave their homes too early isn't choice — it's a few fixable hazards. Mark installs the upgrades that make aging in place safe and dignified, built to ADA-compliant standards so the result is safe, sturdy, and up to code. As a veteran, he takes special pride in helping fellow veterans and older neighbors stay independent.

Detail Work

Trim, Doors & Window Repair

The details are what make an older home feel like itself. Mark repairs and restores trim, millwork, doors, and windows — matched to the home so the fix disappears into the original instead of standing out as a patch.

Exterior

Cleaning & Pressure Washing

Years of grime, mildew, and weather dull a home fast — and on older homes, the wrong pressure does real damage. Mark cleans siding, decks, walkways, and exteriors with the right touch for the surface, so your home looks cared-for without harming what's underneath.

Waterproofing

Basement Waterproofing

A wet basement isn't just a nuisance — standing water and moisture rot framing, ruin finishes, and invite mold. Mark stops water at the source and relieves the hydrostatic pressure pushing it through your walls and floor, keeping the basement dry and the foundation sound.

Structural

Foundation Repair

When a foundation shifts, everything above it follows — cracked walls, sticking doors, sloping floors. Mark finds the real cause and restores structural integrity so your home sits solid for the next generation, not just the next season.
