More than the house
Property maintenance on acreage spreads out. Outbuildings need the same doors, roofs, gutters and seals a house does, and they tend to get looked at later because nobody sleeps in them.
We work on the whole property rather than only the parts with carpet, which usually means a visit here covers more ground than an in-town one.
Distance changes how you schedule
Florence is a real drive from Missoula, so one-item visits are poor value for everyone. The customers who get the most out of us down here send a list and let us work through it in one go.
It is also why seasonal maintenance suits valley properties: two or three planned visits a year beat a string of reactive ones.
Weather exposure
Open ground means wind, and wind finds whatever is already loose. Flashing, trim, fence panels and gates are the usual casualties. Catching those during a seasonal visit is considerably cheaper than catching them after they have let water in.
Common questions from Florence
- Who can help with home maintenance in Florence?
- We travel to Florence from Missoula and work on the whole property rather than the house alone. Shops, barns and outbuildings are part of what we look after down here.
- Will you work on outbuildings and not just the house?
- Yes. Doors, roofs, gutters, trim and fencing on a shop or barn are the same work as on a house, and they are usually further down the list than they should be.
- Is it worth booking if I only have one small job?
- It is worth asking, but a single small item is poor value given the drive. Most Florence customers send the whole list and we work through as much as a visit allows.
