This July a Becket homeowner asked us to look at a fence. We measured every section and every post — 29 sections, 38 posts — and photographed all of it. By the time the owners left for the season, they had one document: what was solid, what was failing, and one price on each item. No ballparks. Nothing estimated from the road.
That document is now the product. A second home in the Berkshires sits through the freeze with nobody looking at the roof, the deck, the grading, or the gutters. The people who do look — home-watch services — are good at spotting a problem. They are not carpenters. So you get a photo of the rot and a question: now what?
The Fall Home Assessment answers that question the same week. You get the walk, the photos, and the numbers from the person who'd do the work — and a straight referral for anything we don't do.
"Nothing in this quote is estimated from the road."
