Small repairs have a way of piling up, especially on a Mountain Home property where long winters, frozen ground, and heavy snow work on every board and hinge. A door starts to drag, a gutter pulls loose, a few siding boards crack, and a barn door slips off its track. None of it is urgent until it all is.
Our general repairs service takes care of that list. We fix doors, trim, siding, fascia, gutters, steps, small deck sections, and outbuilding doors and framing for homes, ranch properties, and small businesses. Because Mountain Home is a planned trip for our crews, we work through as many items as we can in one visit and tell you honestly when something calls for a different trade.
We understand how cold, snow, and frost heave work on older Mountain Home homes and ranch buildings over time.
Our trucks carry saws, ladders, fasteners, and common trim and siding stock so more of your list gets done on site.
We'll tell you which items need attention now, which can wait, and which belong with another trade.
Scrap lumber, old gutters, bent flashing, and every last nail get picked up before we head back down the road.
Mountain Home grew out of the upper part of the old Boneta townsite, and plenty of the homes, sheds, and barns around it have been standing a long time. Older buildings were often added onto over the years, so a single house might have three kinds of siding, two rooflines, and doors that were never quite square to begin with. That mix makes small problems pop up in odd places.
We like working on these places. Most of the fixes are simple once you find the cause, whether that’s a sill that has rotted under a door, trim that was nailed into old soft wood, or a gutter that pulled loose where two rooflines meet.
Range cattle are a big part of life around Mountain Home, and the buildings that go with them take real abuse. Barn doors get bumped by trailers, shop siding gets kicked and rubbed, and loafing shed boards crack from cold and livestock leaning on them. We patch and replace siding, rehang sliding doors, fix track and rollers, and shore up loose framing on sheds and lean tos.
When a ranch building has a damaged gate or pen fence beside it, our ranch and yard fence repair service can take care of that on the same trip, so you’re not juggling two crews.
Every list is different, but a lot of the same items show up again and again on high country homes. Here’s a sample of what we handle:
If something on your list is outside what we do, we’ll say so plainly and point you toward the right trade.
At about 7,005 feet, winter in Mountain Home is long and cold, and spring is when the damage finally shows. Ice dams lift shingles at the eaves and soak the fascia, heavy snow bends gutters, and frost heave pushes porch steps out of line. Doors that closed fine in summer start dragging once the frame shifts.
Taking weight off the roof during big snow years helps prevent a lot of this. Our roof snow raking service pulls snow off the eaves, which cuts down on ice damage to gutters and trim before it starts.
The growing season is short up here, and so is the comfortable window for exterior work. Paint and caulk need warm days to cure, and wood repairs go better when the lumber is dry. We try to get exterior fixes done between late spring and early fall, and save indoor or sheltered work for the shoulder seasons.
A quick wash before repainting or recaulking makes a big difference in how well new finish sticks. Pairing repairs with exterior pressure washing gets the surface clean so the work lasts longer.
Mountain Home is at the far west end of the bench, a few miles past Altamont, so we plan trips out and stack work together. Keeping a running list of small things through the year and sending it to us at once is the best way to get them all handled in one visit. That saves you money and gets more done each time we come.
We won’t promise to show up on short notice, but we will give you a clear plan and stick to it. Call us when your list is ready and we’ll fit it into the next trip, along with any other work you’ve been holding for a good weather window.
We walk your property with your list in hand, look at each item, and note anything else that needs attention.
You get a free quote broken out item by item so you can choose what gets fixed on this trip.
Our crew works down the list, from door adjustments to siding patches, using materials that match what's there.
We go back through each repair with you, check that doors swing and gutters drain, then clean up.
