DOORS

Door Repair

Pacific Palisades catches both the coastal marine layer and dry canyon air, and that swing keeps wood door frames swelling shut in the damp and loosening as they dry. We take care of door repair and replacement so yours opens, closes, and latches the way it should, and we get it done in one trip.

  • Door frame realignment and adjustment
  • Weatherstripping and threshold replacement
  • Sliding patio door track repair
  • Screen and storm door installation
FLOORS

Floor Repair & Installation

From bluff-top homes to the hillside streets above the Village, a lot of Palisades floors are hardwood that has settled and squeaked over the years. We handle flooring installation and subfloor repair, from loose boards to soft sections that need replacing, so the floor feels solid underfoot again.

  • Hardwood plank replacement and refinishing
  • LVP installation and repair
  • Subfloor shim and fastener repair
  • Tile re-grouting and patching
GUTTERS

Gutter Cleaning

Between the salt air off the bluffs and the trees on the canyon slopes, gutters here fill and corrode faster than most neighbors expect, and a clogged run sends water at a hillside foundation fast. We take care of gutter repair and gutter cleaning so the drainage works the way it should when it matters most.

  • Full gutter flush and debris removal
  • Hanger and spike re-fastening
  • Seam sealing and patching
  • Downspout extension and repositioning
PAINTING

Exterior & Interior Painting Services

Coastal salt, bluff exposure, and canyon sun are hard on exterior paint and wood here, and the finish blisters and fades within a few seasons. We handle exterior and interior painting for Palisades homes, from full exterior repaints to interior rooms and trim. We also do cabinet painting for kitchens that need a fresh look without a full remodel.

  • Exterior repaint with primer and sanding
  • Interior rooms and trim
  • Cabinet refinishing
  • Stucco patching and touch-ups

Those four are our most common calls, but the list does not stop there. Neighbors also bring us deck and exterior wood repairs, drywall patching, fence resets, and grab bars and handrails to help a parent stay safe at home. If it is on your list, it can usually get knocked out in the same visit.

Common Home Repairs in Pacific Palisades, CA

After years working throughout Pacific Palisades, we know the repairs that come up again and again here. Coastal salt air, bluff and canyon exposure, and hillside lots each leave their mark, and we show up knowing what to expect.

Doors Swollen by Coastal Damp

The swing between marine moisture off the coast and dry canyon air keeps the wood door frames in Palisades homes swelling and binding, then loose once they dry. We adjust, plane, and repair so the door operates cleanly through every season.

Fences Leaning on Hillside Lots

Fence posts on the Palisades slopes loosen and rot at the base, and a wet winter pushes them downhill out of plumb. Our gate and fence repair crew resets posts and repairs damaged sections so the fence stands straight again.

Exterior Paint and Wood Worn by Salt and Sun

Salt off the bluffs and canyon sun blister and fade exterior paint and wood here faster than anywhere inland. We prep, prime, and repaint or restain so the surface holds up through the seasonal cycle.

Gutters Corroded and Backed Up

Salt air shortens gutter life near the coast, and debris from canyon trees backs water up under the roofline and onto the slope. We clean, reseal, and repair so drainage is clear when it counts.

Cracks in Drywall and Plaster

Hillside Palisades homes settle as the ground shifts, opening cracks at corners, seams, and window surrounds. Our drywall repair team patches and retextures so the wall looks like the crack was never there.

Floors That Squeak or Feel Soft

Floors in Palisades homes work loose from the subfloor as the hillside moves and coastal moisture works in, and soft spots mean the subfloor has started to give. We handle the repair so the floor feels solid and the squeak is gone for good.
