Single Verdict: Repair, Restore, or Replace?

$49.00

Is it worth saving, or is it time to replace it? Send photos of one problem, such as a sticking window, cracked plaster, a failing porch step, or a damaged floor, and I'll tell you what I'd do and why.

What you'll receive:

  • A clear verdict: repair, restore, replace, or leave alone

  • The likely cause of the problem

  • A plain-English plan for what the work involves

  • A rough cost range for planning

  • Whether it's DIY-friendly or needs a specialist

  • Questions to ask a contractor

What I need from you:

  • 3 to 8 photos (a wide shot plus close-ups)

  • A few sentences describing what's happening and what you've been told

Turnaround: Within 5 business days of a complete submission.

Good for: One window, door, section of plaster, floor, porch, or trim problem. Not for: Multiple problems (see Room Review) or design changes (see Design Direction).

Spots are limited each week.
