"Called Harris Roofing after the wind storm and was blown away with how quick they responded. Within 24 hours I had a repair done, a quote for a new roof and a contract sent to me. Fast forward 2 weeks later and he tore off and replaced my roof and only took about 1.5 days. Always kept me updated along the way and job site was always clean. Price was reasonable and didn't feel like I was being taken advantage of. Would recommend this roofing company to anyone for any roofing needs!"
"Some very difficult challenges which were all overcome. Extended staff time but did not impact final billing. Very happy with outcome. Great looking deck renovation."
"I purchased 2 hours of time but all they were able to do was to clean the gutters with a power washer. I realize it snowed the day they came out and I had wanted them to put gutter covers on after cleaning. They stated the shingles were just cracking when they attempted. The neighbors later told me the guy that was on my roof look terrified and did not get within two feet of the edge of the roof line despite being roped up. I don't feel that it should have taken two hours to clean the gutters since I had done them by myself the winter before and it only took me two hours and they had not been cleaned in at least 8 years.

"The project manager was continually on site to ensure the quality of work. They were timely and completed the work within the time period outlined in the proposal. One thing that stands out is Sami continues to follow-up to ensure that if there are any concerns he works to address them. After the work was completed daily the team cleaned up and hauled away the debris, very important in keeping with a clean and safe work site. I have other projects in the works and will consider this company. I have recommended him to others, friends, family, and neighbors."
"I found them on Angie’s List. They said that they had an A rating, but it has been a very questionable relationship. Their estimate for the job was $300, and they finally got it down to $250. I had given an $80 check for the estimate to the man who came down, and it was to be applied to the services. I had issued the check on the company name, and the owner called and said that the bank wouldn’t accept the check because it didn’t have his personal name on it. I think that is unusual, because he should have a business account. He came back, and I gave him another check for $250, because he needed the check to go and buy supplies to clean my deck. I thought that was unusual too, because he was running it so close that I had to pay for the supplies before he could use them. He sent a man back at around five in the evening, which was very late, and he started scrubbing my deck with some gallons of detergent and my broom, which I had offered. He didn’t have any power washing equipment, so he scrubbed and scrubbed, and he had just started on my driveway, when his boss came and picked him up at seven. When I questioned him about the power equipment, he said that it was at another job, and he was going to go and get it. When he came back, he said that he didn’t have any power equipment. So that man is going to come and scrub my driveway this morning, with my hose and my broom. I have some more work that I wanted him to do, but now I don’t know if I want him to do any more work for me at all. He said that he was sorry, and that it was all a misunderstanding, but it was just his total inefficiency. The worker who worked here really worked hard, and he did a good job, but I was really surprised that he had to come and get another check so that he could go and buy some supplies, and the fact that he doesn’t have a business account. I was also surprised that he sent that man to scrub my deck with a gallon of detergent. I have cats, cats lick their feet, and I would just be horrified if anything happened to them."
Materials for a second-story deck must be weather- and rot-resistant, though the specific choices will largely be determined by your budget and style preference. Pressure-treated wood is on the lower end of the price scale, but it can be customized and stained the way you like it. Composite, on the other hand, is pricier for installation and has fewer options for customization, but you’ll save money and time in the long run because it requires little maintenance.
The best direction for a gate to swing depends on its location and purpose, but swinging inward is the general rule. An inward swing is often considered safer, prevents the gate from opening into public spaces like a sidewalk, and may be required by local building codes.
There are exceptions and specific considerations. If your property is on a slope, an inward swing might not be possible. For a deck gate, it's safest to have it swing away from any steps. In a backyard, the direction can be a matter of preference, though an inward swing can be helpful when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.
Regardless of direction, ensure the gate can open fully without hitting any objects or blocking spaces. While an inward swing is standard, a gate that can swing both in and out offers the most flexibility if your setup allows for it.
In most cases, sanding an old deck before staining it is necessary to achieve a decent finish. If your old deck has a relatively new stain finish on it and you're only doing touch-ups, you can generally skip the sanding part. However, if your goal is to make the deck look and function better, sanding first is a must.
It’s best to prime composite decking before painting. This promotes better paint adhesion, helps create a smooth finish, and can mean the paint job will last longer. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application, allow ample primer drying time before painting (typically 24 to 48 hours), and thoroughly clean the deck boards to promote the best adhesion.
Most building codes require that railing spindles (also known as balusters) on decks or stairs be spaced no more than four inches apart. This safety standard is often called the '4-inch sphere rule,' which means a sphere with a 4-inch diameter should not be able to pass through the opening between balusters. This rule is in place to prevent small children and pets from slipping through the railing. For the same reason, the space between the bottom rail and the deck or floor surface should also be no more than four inches. As a general guideline, professionals often install three balusters per foot of railing. However, since specific requirements can vary by location, it is essential to check your local building codes to ensure compliance before starting your project.
