I've been doing home repair for more than 10 years. I've seen the ins and outs of building from the ground up. My skills are mainly focused in carpentry and finish work. I have worked all over the panhandle, just making repairs along the way. Let me get your house back to how you want it!
"Luke was a gift! He responded quickly to my call and was able to start painting two days later. He was professional, knowledgeable, on time and always cognizant of the fact that I was working from home while he was painting. He meticulously painted my entire house and it looks amazing. I highly recommend Luke, you will not be disappointed."
"They are very professional, and go above and beyond for their customers! Mr. Klein was very helpful, came over when insurance adjuster was here, to help with questions I wouldn't of thought of. They were always prompt, friendly, cheerful and courteous, and let me know what they were doing and why. I have not had a problem with leakage since they fixed the roof, and would and will call them again when something need replaced or fixed in my house.
"He did a great job and was very respectful and would give progress calls a few times through the project. Another cool thing is he takes most credit cards either over the phone or in person on site at your place. I thought this was awesome and out of the norm from what most people do. I will most definitely use Mr. Beach for all work needed to be done to my home until I no longer own it. THANKS Mr. Beach!"
"Joseph and his crew are very professional. Showed promptly on the day he started work. Had a plan how to accomplish the job even though the job was not a standard install. Job Site was always clean, very knowledgable on construstion methods, and finished the job on time as promised. Pinnacle Property Care does a very professional job and takes pride in there work. "
"They were outstanding! They came in and got the job done, didn't bother anything or anyone, didn't use any foul language. 450 ft of fence was done in 2 1/2 days. The owner's wife, Cindy, is a very sweet person, very personable yet efficient. I would highly recommend them!"
How long it takes to install composite decking depends on the size of the decking material, the skills of the person installing the deck, the number of people helping, and how much prep work needs to be done before you can begin. Generally speaking, it takes anywhere from a few days to several weeks to build a composite deck.
When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.
When building an outdoor or deck gate, it's crucial to use durable wood that can withstand harsh weather conditions like sunlight, rain, wind, and snow. Redwood and cedar are excellent choices as they naturally resist decay. While redwood is considered more elegant, cedar is a more affordable option. Other suitable woods include oak and pressure-treated pine, which is specifically treated to resist rot. Although some softwoods like pine are popular, untreated softwoods such as pine and spruce should generally be avoided for outdoor projects because they are susceptible to damage from water, rot, and the sun. Ultimately, it's wise to consider your local climate when selecting the right wood for your gate.
Whether to paint or stain a deck depends on your personal preference for appearance and budget. Stain provides a natural look with a range of undertones, is typically less expensive, and may only require one coat, but it does not last as long as paint. Paint offers a sleeker finish with a virtually unlimited color palette. Both options will protect your deck from outdoor elements like rain, snow, and general wear and tear.
The cost to repair a deck is between $900 and $3,500, depending on the cause and extent of the damage. For example, fixing a sinking deck caused by pest damage can cost between $200 and $600, while replacing sinking boards costs between $500 and $4,000.
