What to include in a request

Seasonal and property considerations in Three Rivers
Seasonal temperature changes, winter moisture and freeze-thaw cycles can affect exterior joints, steps, doors, gutters, decks and painted surfaces. Spring and early fall are often practical for exterior maintenance, while assembly, drywall work, mounting and interior painting can be planned throughout the year.
Scheduling around weather, delivery dates and property access can reduce repeat visits. Indoor tasks such as furniture assembly or interior painting may be easier to plan when exterior conditions are less predictable.
