Professional Outdoor Home Services in Grafton, WI

Deck Repair and Railing Work

• Deck board replacement and sistering
• Post base reinforcement and realignment
• Railing tightening and baluster repair

Fence Repair and Gate Adjustment

The clay-rich soils common from Downtown Grafton to the Ulao Creek area shift fence lines each spring, and we reset posts, replace damaged boards, and re-hang gates so your fence functions properly year-round.

• Post reset and re-plumb in clay soil
• Board and picket replacement
• Gate re-hanging and hardware swap
• Cap rail and kickboard repair

Gutter Cleaning and Downspout Service

Grafton's mature tree canopy drops a heavy leaf load that clogs gutters and downspouts before the first hard freeze, and clearing that debris protects fascia and foundation walls through the winter ice cycle.

• Full gutter flush and debris removal
• Downspout clearing and reattachment
• Gutter spike and hanger re-fastening
• Splash block repositioning

Siding, Trim, and Caulk Work

Wisconsin Avenue corridor and Lakefield homes with older lap siding and wood trim show accelerated paint peel and caulk failure from the humidity and temperature swings driven by Lake Michigan proximity, and we patch, re-caulk, and repaint these surfaces before moisture reaches the sheathing. Our crew is ready to walk the project, write an honest scope, and put a date on the calendar that works for your home.

• Lap and board-and-batten siding patch
• Wood rot repair and epoxy fill
• Caulk removal and fresh seal at trim joints
• Exterior trim scrape and touch-up paint

Frozen gutter buildup Damage to Gutters and Fascia

Heavy snowbelt snow accumulates on Grafton rooflines and thaws unevenly, forming ice dams that pull gutter sections away from the fascia and compress gutter services components beyond simple re-fastening. Replacing bent sections and re-securing hangers to fresh fascia wood stops the cycle before the next freeze.

Frost-Heaved Fence Posts Along Clay Soils

Clay-rich glacial till soils in areas like the Ulao Creek corridor and Pioneer Road expand with frost cycles moisture, lifting fence posts out of plumb and splitting boards at the base. Fence services address this by resetting posts with proper depth and drainage aggregate to reduce future heave.

Moisture damage at Exterior Trim and Window Sills

Grafton's average 73% humidity and high seasonal precipitation work moisture into unpainted or poorly caulked trim joints, and once rot starts at a sill or corner board it spreads quickly behind the surface. Removing the damaged material, applying epoxy consolidant, and repainting with a moisture-resistant finish from quality exterior painting work stops further decay.

Deck Board Cupping from Lake Moisture

Proximity to Lake Michigan keeps ambient humidity elevated through summer, and natural wood deck boards absorb and release that moisture unevenly, cupping or crowning over time. Deck services address cupping by flipping, replacing, or pre-boring and fastening boards flat so the surface drains properly.

Paint Peel on North and West Elevations

North and west-facing walls in Hawk's View and Lakefield neighborhoods hold moisture longer after rain and snow events, accelerating paint peel on wood lap siding and trim. Painting services on these elevations require a thorough scrape, spot-prime, and two-coat finish to bond properly through the next winter cycle.

Clogged Downspouts Before Hard Freeze

Grafton's mature tree canopy drops heavy leaf debris that packs downspout elbows before the first hard freeze, and trapped water expands and splits the downspout casing overnight. Downspout services clear the obstruction, reseat the elbow, and extend the discharge away from the foundation before freeze risk returns. Our crew is ready to walk the project, write an honest scope, and put a date on the calendar that works for your home.
