Wake Forest

Wake Forest is the halfway point between our shop and downtown Raleigh, which makes it one of the easiest places for us to work. A lot of the housing here was built in the same decade, so it's all hitting the same milestones at once: first full exterior repaint, first roof, and the point where builder-grade carpet finally has to go.

On exteriors we wash, scrape, and prime before anything else, pay attention to the south and west walls that take the real weather, and replace failed caulk rather than painting a bead of silicone a different color.

Roof work ranges from a handful of storm-lifted shingles to full tear-offs with rotten decking replaced as we find it. Inside, we hang and finish drywall, remove popcorn ceilings, and install vinyl plank and hardwood with the subfloor corrected first.
