Five trades under one person, which means one schedule, one standard, and one number to call when something needs sorting.
Trim, doors, railings — the work people actually touch
Interior finish work is the part of a house people run their hands along, so it is the part worth doing properly. Miters that stay closed, reveals that hold a line down a whole hallway, doors that latch the same way in January as they do in July. It is slow work and it does not forgive shortcuts, which is exactly why it is worth hiring out.

Walls built straight and finished flat
Whether it is a new wall, a doorway moved, or a patch where something used to be, the job is the same: get it straight, get it flat, and leave it so a painter can walk in and start. Old houses rarely give you a square corner to work from, which is most of the skill.

One room or the whole floor
A remodel is a sequence, and the order matters more than any single step. Demo, frame, rough-in, board, finish — each one done before the next starts, so nothing has to be undone later. You get told what is happening before it happens and what it costs before it starts.

The outside jobs that keep piling up
Most of this is work people mean to get to and never quite do. Limbs that have grown over a roof or a driveway, brush along a fence line, a yard that needs clearing before winter or after it. It is straightforward work, it is just heavy, and it tends to need a trailer and a morning rather than an afternoon with a hand saw.

Decks, siding, sidewalks and driveways
Siding, concrete and decking all go the same way in this climate — a season of pollen, a winter of salt, and a slow green film that makes a sound house look tired. Washing it off is the cheapest improvement available to most properties, and on a deck it is the step that has to happen before any stain or sealer is going to hold.

The list that never quite gets done
Most houses carry a list: the door that sticks, the handrail that moved, the patch that never got finished. Those jobs are awkward because they are too small for a general contractor to take seriously and bigger than they look once you start. They are worth doing in one visit.
