What I do
Two trades, one number to call.
Licensed home improvement work on the house itself, and full landscaping and lawn care on the ground around it. Most jobs are one or the other. Some are both, and that is when having one contractor saves you the coordinating.
Home improvement · Licensed
Work on the house.
Decks & porches
Rebuilds, board replacement, railings, steps and stair repair. Rot cut out and framed back properly, not skinned over.
Bathroom remodels
Vanities, tubs and surrounds, tile, fixtures and the drywall and trim work that goes with them.
Kitchen work
Cabinet hanging, countertop swaps, backsplash tile, sink and disposal changeouts.
Drywall & trim
Patches, full sheets, texture matching, baseboard, casing and interior doors hung and cased.
Flooring
Luxury vinyl plank, tile and hardwood. Subfloor repaired first where it needs it.
Painting
Interior and exterior. Prep, caulk and primer included, because that is where paint jobs fail.
Siding, soffit & gutter
Repair and replacement of damaged runs, soffit and fascia, gutter re-hanging and cleaning.
Landlord turnovers
Punch lists between tenants on a schedule that fits your vacancy, not mine.
Landscaping & lawn care
Work on the ground.
Mowing & trimming
Cut, edge and string trim. One time, or on a weekly or biweekly route through the season.
Mulch & bed work
Bed edging cut fresh, weeded, and mulched. Shrubs and perennials planted.
Shrub & small tree trimming
Overgrown foundation plantings brought back, limbs cleared off roofs and siding.
Leaf & brush cleanup
Fall leaf removal, brush piles hauled, and cleanup after wind and storm damage.
Grading & drainage
Water running toward the house gets regraded, swales cut, downspouts extended away from foundations.
Gravel & stone
Driveway gravel spread and graded, walkways set, stone borders and edging.
Spring & fall cleanups
The full seasonal reset: beds, gutters, debris, and a hard cut to start or close the year.
Vacant property upkeep
Keeping empty houses cut and presentable while they are listed or between tenants.
Straight answers
Things worth saying up front.
If a job is outside what I do, I will tell you on the first call rather than take it and figure it out later. Electrical, plumbing and HVAC beyond fixture-level work go to licensed trades. Structural and roofing replacement go to specialists.
Estimates are free and in writing. Nothing gets started off a verbal number.
Project size. The contractor license is Class C, which under Va. Code § 54.1-1100 covers single contracts over $1,000 and under $30,000, and under $250,000 of work in any twelve-month period. Larger remodels are quoted within that limit or referred to a Class A or B contractor. Landscaping and lawn maintenance are not licensed contracting and are not counted against it.
