"Harris Lawn and Grounds Service company pros arrived on set date and immediately tackled two big oaks. They were a friendly, quick, and hard working team. It was exciting watching them work especially the tree cutter in the bucket going very high up! We will request they return next fall to take down another tree!"

"Marvin with M.O. Holt Construction did an amazing job on William’s man cave. His craftsmanship and attention to detail were excellent, and he went above and beyond to make sure everything was done right. He was professional, dependable, and took real pride in his work. The finished room looks fantastic. I highly recommend M.O. Holt Construction and will be hiring Marvin again for more projects."

"The first time we used this company it was because my Dad had just had a procedure done on his head and wasn't able to cut his own yard. Matthew actually offered to cut it for free (which we could not NOT pay him after he did such an amazing job). He said "everyone needs help every now and then". The fact that he was willing to do such a selfless act of kindness for my Dad speaks volumes to his character. On top of that, the lawn care he offers is immaculate. The yard looks great for a week or longer after cutting."

Customers say: Quick response

"He removed old wall paper, patched and sanded, then painted prepped walls in a timely manner. He showed up when he said he would and finished in a timely manner. Because heâ s an overall jack-of-all-trades, he also replaced all electrical outlets and plates. I had two cabinet drawers that were falling apart and he took them and repaired/rebuilt them and they work perfectly now. I would highly recommend Mr. Jeff Bruland for your remodeling needs!"

I’m an old-fashioned, affordable, honest handyman. I am very versatile. \n\nI have worked in construction for over 25 years. I have extensive experience in drywall repair, trim and carpentry work, electronic containment fences and custom pet doors (I can put one anywhere- glass door, window, wall, etc). \n\nThere’s absolutely no job that I won’t at least take a look at and give my honest opinion. No job is too small. No job is too odd. I can do light car maintenance or complex home repairs. Clean-up or Custom work. Just ask! \n\nFlexible hours. Weekends available.

Deck Repair questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can draw your own deck plans in many cases. However, you must know your local building codes and be familiar with carpentry principles. Even then, it's always best to run your plans by a professional contractor with experience building decks, whether you choose to DIY some of the build or not.

There are several methods for attaching stair stringers to a deck. The best way is to bolt the stringers to the deck joists using three carriage bolts in a triangular pattern. This method offers the sturdiest fit for stairs that won’t budge. Alternatively, attach the stringers to the deck rims using lag bolts or to the posts using adjustable slope hangers.

To flatten a cupped deck board, start by ensuring it’s dry. Then, try flipping the board over so the cupped side faces down and reattach it. If that’s not possible, you can use screws to pull it tighter to the joists or plane the edges slightly to reduce the cup. It’s best to replace severely cupped boards.

No. In most cases, it’s not colder or freezing temperatures that affect decking materials but the amount of moisture that seeps into the materials as a result. For example, wood decking material is more likely to suffer from rot or decay when exposed to excess moisture from snow or ice. An extreme change in temperature can cause wood to expand or contract, but only if it’s not properly treated beforehand.

Yes. Freestanding or floating decks are exactly what the name implies—structures with their own support beams. You can build a deck yourself and place it next to a house for the illusion of a connected deck without the hassle. Or you can construct it in a separate part of your yard for a dedicated outdoor entertainment space. For the purpose of removing a freestanding deck, the steps are the same as an attached deck, but you don’t have to cut the deck away from the home.
