What we see most often in Stittsville
Stittsville's fast-growing west-end subdivisions are mostly newer construction, which means the calls we see are concentrated in a narrow band of problems — builder-grade materials reaching the end of their first decade. Trim separating at the joints, doors dropping out of square, and caulking failing at window and siding seams. Because so much of Stittsville was completed within a few years of each other, whole streets tend to arrive at this point together, and neighbours often compare notes before they call anybody.
The pattern worth knowing here is that the underlying cause is nearly always fastening rather than material. Trim mitres open because they were nailed and not glued. Doors drop because short hinge screws bit into soft framing rather than reaching the stud behind. Fixing the cause once beats treating the symptom every winter, and it is the difference between a permanent repair and an annual one.

Stittsville questions
Do you cover Stittsville and out toward Richmond?
Yes — Stittsville proper plus Poole Creek and the corridor out toward Richmond and Munster. No travel surcharge; the $200 visit minimum covers it, same as everywhere else we work.
My house is only eight years old. Why does it need repairs already?
Because eight years is exactly when builder-grade finishing work reveals how it was installed. The house is fine; the trim joints, hinge screws and caulk beads are the parts that were done fast.
