Questions and Answers

My San Francisco roof has moss growth and some ridge tiles seem loose. Can you help?

Absolutely. Moss growth and shifting ridge tiles are common issues here due to our foggy, damp climate. For moss, I safely clean and treat the area to prevent regrowth and protect the roofing material. Loose ridge tiles are a significant leak risk; I properly reset and secure them using methods suited to your specific roof type. I also perform a thorough inspection to identify any underlying moisture damage from these issues that may need repair.

What does your rodent-proofing service involve for a San Francisco home?

My rodent exclusion service is a specialty, developed from years of working on local homes. It involves a detailed inspection to find all potential entry points, which often include roof vents, gaps in siding, and spaces around pipes or cables. I then seal these openings using durable, weather-appropriate materials like steel wool, hardware cloth, and sealants. The goal is to create a long-term barrier that keeps pests out while allowing for proper ventilation, all based on my free on-site evaluation of your property.

You offer both appliance installation and furniture assembly. What types of items do you typically handle?

I handle a wide range of assembly and installation tasks to help San Francisco homeowners. This includes installing major appliances like dishwashers, ovens, and laundry units, ensuring they are correctly connected and level. For furniture, I assemble everything from complex shelving units and office desks to bed frames and patio sets. My focus is on doing the job right, with proper tools and techniques, so your items are safe, stable, and fully functional.
