Second Grain Home Services handles the repairs Boise homeowners keep putting off. From a single drywall patch in the North End to a full punch-list in Harris Ranch. Reliable, honest, and backed by 10 years of hands-on construction experience.
We are not a franchise. We are a locally operated crew that knows Ada County housing stock: the 1940s craftsman bungalows on the Bench, the mid-century ranches in the Highlands, and the newer builds near Barber Valley. We work on all of them.
We respond same day. No obligation, no pressure.
Boise's climate is harder on homes than most people expect. Summers push past 100 degrees and winters bring freeze-thaw cycles that crack caulk, warp trim, and work moisture into places it should not be. Add the wide range of housing ages across the city and you have a lot of variables that demand different repair approaches.
The historic neighborhoods have homes built on plaster walls with period trim profiles that are no longer standard. Patching a plaster wall is different from patching drywall. Matching a 1930s baseboard profile takes attention. We know the difference and we work accordingly.
Every winter, Boise homes take a beating. Weatherstripping shrinks, door frames shift slightly, exterior caulk cracks along window sills, and bathroom caulk molds from humidity changes. Catching these issues in early spring saves thousands in future repairs.
Ada County has one of the healthiest rental markets in Idaho. Property managers between tenants have a narrow window to repaint, patch walls, fix doors, replace fixtures, and get a unit back on the market. We work fast and schedule around your timeline.

Not sure if we cover your area?
Call us. If we can get to you, we will tell you honestly.
Call 208 614-3550Three steps. No runaround.
Describe your repair by phone, text, or our booking form. We usually respond the same day.
We review the job and give you a straightforward price before we touch anything. No vague quotes.
We show up on time, protect your home, do the work properly, and clean up before we leave.
Platforms like Angi and Thumbtack sell your job to multiple contractors. We are the crew that actually shows up, not a middleman that takes a cut and hands your number off.
Most licensed contractors in Boise have minimums of $300 or more. We do not. A single hole in your drywall is a job we will take.
Our crew has 10 years of residential construction experience, including 5 years in commercial work and Division 10 specialties. That depth shows in how we approach repairs.
You get a price before we pick up a single tool. If something changes mid-job, we tell you immediately, not after the invoice.
"Called on a Tuesday, they were at my house on Thursday. Patched two drywall holes and fixed a door that had been sticking for two years. Showed up on time, cleaned up after, and charged exactly what they quoted. Will call again."
