Outdoor & Exterior Repairs

Fence pickets, gate sag, deck boards, mailbox replacement, and exterior touch-ups — the projects that make a house look loved.

Signs You May Need This

  • A sagging gate that scrapes the ground when it swings
  • Broken or missing fence pickets after a Texas storm
  • Soft or splintered deck boards
  • A mailbox post knocked off-true by a delivery truck
  • Exterior paint peeling on trim, fascia, or shutters
  • A loose handrail on the front-porch steps

Curb Appeal Without a Whole Crew

Most exterior repairs aren’t big enough to justify a fence company or a deck contractor — but they make the biggest difference in how your house feels coming home to. Presto Change-O’s Handywork takes on the ten-board fix, the one-gate rebuild, the loose handrail, the leaning mailbox.

What Preston Repairs Outside

Cedar or pine fence picket replacement and full-section repair. Gate rebuild and post-anchoring with concrete. Deck board replacement and re-fastening (square-drive screws, not nails that pop). Handrail and baluster repair on stairs and porches. Exterior trim, fascia, and corner-board rot replacement (paint and caulk-tied-in). Mailbox post replacement, including HOA-spec posts where required. Gutter and downspout re-securing, splash-block repositioning, and small leak repairs.

Pressure Wash Plus Touch-Up

For pre-listing or just post-pollen-season cleanup, Preston can pressure-wash siding, soffits, and trim and follow with paint touch-ups in the same visit so the result actually looks done — not just clean-but-faded.

Weather Window

Most exterior paint and caulk work is best done above 50°F and with two clear days for cure. In Round Rock that’s most of the year, but Preston schedules around weather and won’t paint into a forecast.

How soon can you come out?
Most weeks Preston has openings within 2–5 days. Urgent items (a door that won't close, a leak, a wobbling toilet) often get same-day or next-day slots. Text or call (512) 300-8483 to check the current week's availability.
Do I need to be home while you work?
Not always. For inside work most clients prefer to be home for the first half hour while Preston walks the project, then they head out. Repeat clients often leave a key or a code. Whatever you're comfortable with works.
