Exterior Services

The exterior of your home is more than curb appeal — it’s the first line of defense against weather, the stage for everyday living, and a key part of long-term property value. At Friendswood Construction Services we offer comprehensive exterior services that begin with a careful, informed inspection and end with durable, beautiful results. Below is how we evaluate, plan, and deliver exterior work so your home looks great and performs even better.

Start with a purposeful inspection

Every successful exterior project begins with a walk around the property. Even if you’ve mowed the lawn a hundred times, we ask you to walk the boundary line with us — and we do it with intent. If you have a survey, bring it; we’ll confirm property lines, identify utilities, and compare what’s on the ground with what’s on paper. On small lots this prevents costly mistakes and ensures new work won’t encroach on setbacks or neighbors’ easements.

During the initial inspection we document:

• Property lines and existing structures
• Topography and drainage behavior (low spots, standing water)
• Existing plantings, trees and root patterns
• Hardscape elements such as walls, patios, driveways and decks
• Visible signs of deterioration on roof, siding, windows, foundation and porches

This methodical approach gives a baseline for design, cost estimating and construction scheduling — and gives you a sense of peace that nothing crazy will happen when the work starts.

Site planning, grading & drainage

Water is the single biggest threat to an exterior renovation. Our exterior services include professional evaluation and correction of grading, guttering, downspouts and surface drainage so that water moves away from your foundation, not toward it. We provide:

• Grading and re-sloping to redirect runoff
• Gutter and downspout replacement, extension and splash block installation
• French drains, swales and bioswales where needed
• Soil testing and erosion control for new landscaping or additions

A well-drained site protects foundations, preserves exterior finishes and extends the life of both new and existing elements.

Tree, plant & root protection

Mature trees are priceless — and also vulnerable to heavy construction equipment and trenching. We assess your plantscape and offer strategies to preserve valuable trees and shrubs while safely removing hazardous or diseased plants. Services include:

• Tree protection plans during construction (root-zone barriers, pruning, monitored access)
• Removals and stump grinding for dead or obstructive trees
• Root mitigation to protect driveways, patios and utilities
• Replanting plans and coordination with landscape designers

We balance preservation with practicality: saving specimen trees where possible and recommending replacements or relocations when necessary.

Hardscape repair & construction

Retaining walls, terraces, patios, driveways and fences are functional features that also define your property’s character. Our exterior services cover:

• Repair and resetting of stone or masonry walls
• Concrete repair, resurfacing and new slab work (driveways, pads, walkways)
• Deck inspection, repair and full replacement (composite and wood options)
• Patio, terrace and pathway design + installation
• Fence repair and new fence installation (privacy, decorative, security)

We account for movement, drainage and long-term performance so hardscape work looks great and lasts.

Roof, siding, windows & exterior envelope

Protecting the building envelope is central to everything you do inside the house. We offer a full range of exterior envelope services:

• Roof inspection, repair, re-roofing and flashing replacement
• Siding repair and replacement (vinyl, wood, fiber cement, stucco)
• Window and door assessment, reglazing, replacement and weatherproofing
• Masonry repointing and stonework repair
• Painting, staining and finish restoration

Our crews look for early signs of deterioration — curling shingles, bulging siding, failing mortar — and fix the root cause before installing new finishes.

Porches, entries & exterior details

Porches and entrances take more wear than most features. We inspect and repair:

• Porch structure, posts and railings
• Floorboard replacement and deck resurfacing
• Steps, handrails and ADA adjustments where required
• Exterior trim, flashing and threshold sealing

A welcoming, safe entry is essential both for daily use and for resale value.

Plot plans, easements & regulatory coordination

Exterior construction often runs into legal or administrative requirements. We’ll help you navigate:

• Plot plan updates reflecting driveways, outbuildings and major plantings
• Easement checks and coordination with utility companies
• Zoning reviews, permitting and permit filings
• HOA or design review board submittals and revisions

We work directly with city staff and review boards so you don’t have to. Early attention to easements, covenants and zoning will help us save money and our precious time from redoing a design.

Long-term maintenance and seasonal services

Exterior work isn’t finished the day construction ends. We provide maintenance plans to protect your investment:

• Scheduled gutter cleaning and seasonal checks
• Deck sealing and repainting services
• Hardscape inspections and reset work as needed
• Annual roof and flashing inspections

These services help prevent small issues from becoming expensive repairs.
