Handyman in Dana Point, CA

Decks, balconies and railings are the big ones. Wood that has not been sealed in three summers goes grey and splinters; metal railings on the harbor side rust from the fasteners outward, where you cannot see it until something moves under your hand. Dan sands, repairs and reseals wood, and cuts out and re-welds metal that has gone past saving.

Pressure washing does more here than make things look clean. Salt film and marine grime hold moisture against stucco, pavers and concrete, and left alone they turn into staining and organic growth that is much harder to reverse. A wash at the right pressure for the surface — concrete, pavers, stucco and wood each take a different tip — resets it.

A lot of Dana Point is HOA territory, and Dan is used to working inside those rules: matching an approved exterior color, keeping a job tidy in a shared driveway, and being finished when he said he would be.
