Frequently asked questions

Every home is different, so pricing is based on the size, condition, and scope of your project. We provide clear, upfront quotes and work with homeowners to keep pricing fair and honest. Once your quote is given, the price does not change — even if the project takes longer than expected.

We start by learning exactly what you want done so there are no surprises. You’ll receive a clear quote and timeline, and once scheduled, we show up on time and complete the work as promised. Communication is always clear, and we never change pricing after work begins.

EJ has over 10 years of hands-on experience in exterior home cleaning and surface restoration. That experience ensures every project is done carefully, correctly, and with long-lasting results.

The Local Dad started after EJ restored his own home and saw how dramatically clean and protected surfaces improved both appearance and value. He built the company so homeowners could have that same “brand new” feeling for their own properties.

We work with all types of homeowners — from laid-back families to detail-focused professionals. Every client receives the same level of respect, attention, and care.

One of our favorite recent projects involved restoring a stone patio that looked completely worn down. After professional cleaning and preparation, the surface looked brand new. The transformation took about two hours and completely refreshed the property’s appearance.

We recommend choosing someone who will actually be present at your home, communicate clearly, and stand behind their work — not just send random crews. Knowing who is doing the work brings peace of mind and better results.

It helps to consider your goals for the project, what surfaces you want restored, and your budget range. Having this information ready allows us to provide the most accurate quote and best results.
