Beyond the Basics: Showcasing Our Expertise in Flooring, Drywall and Exterior Work
These are the trades underneath a finished room, and they are what decides whether it looks finished a year later.
Flooring is mostly subfloor. Plank or board laid over a floor that moves telegraphs every dip within a season, which is why levelling is the job rather than an addition to it — on one whole-house restoration we invoiced vinyl plank across eight rooms at roughly $1.35 a square foot, and that is one job's figure rather than a rate. Drywall and skim coating is about light: a repair that looks perfect under a work lamp shows every edge under a window, so a patch is feathered far wider than the damage. Exterior and siding is about sealing the faces nobody looks at — the back edge of trim, the bottom rail, the end grain — because that is where water gets in and it is where rot starts.
The four quoted homeowner drywall jobs on file ran $275 to $717; the five quoted flooring jobs ran $100 to $425.
