Is this for you?

This assessment is for you if...

You live out of state

You can't drive over and look, and a neighbor saying it "looks fine" isn't the same as someone checking the trim from a ladder.

You live elsewhere in Georgia

You're here some weekends, and you don't want to spend them on a ladder or waiting on contractors.

You own through an LLC, trust or partnership

You want one company and one report covering every property you hold in Glynn County.

You rent the house out

You need work scheduled around bookings, with photos so you know it's done before the next guest arrives.

What we do

Whatever the report finds, our crews fix it

You approve the items you want. We do the carpentry and the painting ourselves, with photos as we go.

Start with the free assessment

What we do

Exterior Painting

Siding, stucco, trim, shutters, doors and porches. We scrape, sand, repair and prime before anything is painted, so the finish lasts.

What we do

Wood Rot & Carpentry

Soft fascia, sills, trim, column bases and rails replaced by our own carpenters, then primed and painted by our own painters.

What we do

Porches, Decks & Rails

Loose balusters tightened or replaced, worn treads repaired, and porch floors, ceilings and rails refinished.

What we do

Interior Painting & Drywall

Walls, ceilings, trim and drywall repair. November through February is a good time to book while the house is quiet.

What we check

68 points across every side of the house

An estimator works through a fixed checklist and photographs each finding, so you see exactly what we saw.

Siding & Walls

Peeling, chalking, mildew and damaged boards.

Trim, Fascia & Soffit

Usually the first wood to go soft, and the hardest to see from the ground.

Windows & Doors

Sills, casings, thresholds and open caulk joints.

Porches, Decks & Stairs

Rail stability, loose fasteners, tread wear and finish.

Columns & Porch Ceilings

Column bases, beadboard and ceiling paint.

Roofline Woodwork

Fascia along the gutters and trim behind downspouts.

Paint & Caulk

Cracking, peeling and gaps, side by side.

Wood Rot Checks

Common trouble spots probed by hand and photographed.

Why fix exterior problems early?

Small exterior problems are cheap to fix and expensive to ignore. Here's what we see when they wait:

  • Soft wood spreads.A soft spot on one board becomes a section of fascia or a whole sill.
  • Paint can't cover rot.Painting over damaged wood fails within a couple of years, and you pay twice.
  • Rentals lose bookings.A loose rail or peeling porch shows up in guest photos and reviews.
  • Planned work costs less.Scheduling repairs on your timeline beats paying for a rush job.

★★★★★

In my 40-plus years on St. Simons Island I've owned two houses with wood siding, both needing regular exterior painting, and I've used several painters over the years. D&D was by far the best job, high quality work.

Excellent from start to finish. They pressure washed and scraped the house before painting to remove debris and loose paint, and all exterior trim and fascia was painted. The crew was professional and on time each day, and cleaned up at the end of every workday.

★★★★★

A great experience with our painters. Professional, respectful of our home, and detail-oriented throughout. They took time to prep the space properly, handled wall repairs smoothly, and the finish came out clean and even with crisp lines.

FAQ

Answers for owners who live elsewhere

Do I need to be there for the assessment?

No. We only need the address and a way to reach you. The assessment covers the outside of the house, so nobody has to let us in. If you live here and want to walk it with the estimator, mention that on the form.

What does it cost?

Nothing. It's how we write the estimate, and you're under no obligation to book any work.

How soon will I get the report?

Within five business days of the visit in most cases. If the property is large or has several buildings, we'll tell you up front.

Do you warranty the work?

Yes. Every project we complete carries a three-year workmanship warranty, and we keep your colors and products on file for future touch-ups.

Can you work around rental bookings?

Yes. Send the calendar or your manager's contact and we'll schedule into the open dates.

How do I approve work and pay from out of state?

The scope and pricing come by email and you approve in writing. We'll walk you through scheduling and payment when you're ready. You won't need to fly in to sign anything.
