Scotland

Scotland and the stretch down to Point Lookout have a lot of older cottages and long-held family properties, many of them added onto over decades. That kind of house needs someone willing to open a wall and deal with what's actually inside — undersized framing, rot at the sill, wiring that predates the current code book — rather than skinning over it.

We do a lot of carpentry repair here, plus decks and porches built for exposure, roof replacements with correct underlayment and flashing, and exterior paint prepped the way salt air demands.

Inside, kitchens and bathrooms in older homes need honest scoping, so we tell you up front what we expect to find and how it will be priced if we find it.
