"I had an emergency roof repair and he came the morning after I called. Did a great job patching my roof the same morning. Great for me since we are expecting heavy rain in the next few days."
"Very pleased with the work GNB did on this deck project...They tore down the old deck and built a brand new one in a very reasonable timeframe considering the oppressive Alabama summer. I will not hesitate to use them again"
"Anthony is a great person to work with. He went above the call. He will be coming back to do more work for us. I will highly recommend him to do home repairs."
"We own a small business in the Dothan, Al area, but live out of town. I found Fred Klein through Angie's List and at the time there were not that many options in the area. Their company didn't have stellar reviews, but we decided to go with them. For a project that I was not able to directly oversee, it went pretty smoothly in the beginning. Fred was willing to work around our hours of operation as much a possible with a remodel of this type. Issues didn't really emerge until the end of the project. On three separate occasions, strips of vinyl fell off of the building. To his credit, Fred came out to fix the issues, but recently another siding issue came up and Fred has stopped returning calls. I have yet to personally inspect his work, but so far it's suspect. I will update this post once I am able to view the work firsthand. My biggest complaint with the company is that they took a $1200 deposit from me on 4/12/12 to install carpet "around Memorial Day." It is 6/22/12 and it has yet to be installed. Fred has not returned my emails or answered my calls. For my part, I am not always quick to respond either, but two and a half months is a bit ridiculous. About their professionalism, Fred wasn't aware that we have some personal friends that work for us. He would refer to us as "Corporate P*****" when he spoke to them and the rest of the staff. We spoke to Fred about this and he did apologize. Another unprofessional issue was that his son and the crew smoke and toss cigarette butts throughout the property as well as in the kitchen sink and the toilets. All in all, our customers like the looks of the remodel, which is great. Hindsight being 20/20, I would have chosen another company.
"Very knowledgeable of the work to do. Between him and his worker they have 50 years experience. We are set to start work on Monday. So hopefully it will go as well as the meeting."

The “best” material is in the eye of the beholder, as each common decking material boasts its pros and cons. Poured concrete is the best budget-friendly option, but composite wood brings high-grade aesthetics without breaking the bank. Wood is the most traditional material, but it requires more maintenance than some other materials. In other words, do your research before settling on a deck material to find the one that’s best for your pool.
The best and fastest way to remove paint from a deck often involves combining a chemical stripper with a pressure washer. Gel-based paint strippers are highly recommended because their thick consistency makes them less messy and easier to apply than liquid strippers. After applying the stripper to loosen the paint, you can use a pressure washer to efficiently wash away the residue. When using a pressure washer for this task, it's important to use a low pressure (under 1000 PSI) to avoid forcing too much moisture into the wood, which could lead to mildew or rot.
With proper installation and maintenance, a vinyl deck can last up to 30 years. Factors like regular cleaning, minimal wear and tear, proper installation, and the use of higher-grade materials can extend its durability. However, extreme weather conditions or neglecting maintenance might shorten its lifespan. Adhering to manufacturer recommendations for care and occasional inspections can significantly prolong a vinyl deck's longevity.
Increases livable area and enhances aesthetic, often boosting property appeal.
Before installing a deck, you must build a base for the deck to rest upon, often made of compacted soil or gravel. While gravel is an optional material, it helps with drainage. Some contractors also recommend installing a weed control membrane, which helps provide a solid foundation for the frame. In the case of an elevated deck, a pro will often lay down a concrete slab as a foundation.
