Steep-lot access, retaining conditions, moisture behind old trim, and height can all add hours to an Asheville job.
What the scope should spell out
Material compatibility, disposal, testing, and finish restoration all need to be explicit in writing.
When extra expertise is needed
Historic-district review, engineering for slope issues, or specialty trades may apply. Confirm with the provider and city.
