"We hired NWA to fix our back deck. We had some structural repair that was dangerous and difficult, due to the height of the deck. Byron and his crew were mythodical and skilled as well as hard working. Plus the price quoted allowed us to add fixing all the railing and still be in our budget. We love it!"

"We contracted Wilson Home Services for a pretty large remodel job on our house. We moved wood paneling throughout the house, installed new flooring and baseboards, walls repainted, kitchen/bathroom cabinets painted, busted pipe fixed, and transformed a large garage into an additional bed room that required extensive flooring, drywall, and electrical work along with installation of a mini-split heating & air unit. The entire project took from November to early February (breaking for the holidays). The level of their workmanship, straight forward pricing, staying on budget, and Brandon's availability to communicate and answer questions are the biggest reasons I would highly recommend them to anyone. Only constructive feedback I have would be around small details (which they ALWAYS followed up on when I asked) and their communication around when people would be working (got surprised one Saturday morning). Overall, they did a fantastic job and we will definitely be using Brandon and his crew the next time we want something done."

"Five Star Painting deserves every bit of its five-star rating! I recently had the pleasure of hiring them to paint my bedroom, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From start to finish, they displayed an unwavering commitment to perfection and customer satisfaction. First and foremost, the team at Five Star Painting proved their expertise by flawlessly executing my vision of custom colors in my bedroom. They took the time to understand my preferences and provided valuable recommendations to enhance the overall aesthetic. The end result was a stunning transformation that exceeded my expectations. Moreover, I had an unsightly accent wall with prior damage that needed special attention. The skilled painters at Five Star Painting expertly textured the wall, seamlessly concealing the imperfections and giving it a brand-new lease on life. Their attention to detail was evident in every stroke, ensuring a flawless finish. What truly sets Five Star Painting apart is their commitment to quality. They didn't just complete the job and leave; they went the extra mile to ensure everything was perfect. The team made multiple follow-up visits to inspect the work and make any necessary touch-ups. This level of dedication and accountability is truly commendable. Throughout the entire process, the team exhibited professionalism, courtesy, and respect for my home. They arrived on time, worked efficiently, and maintained a clean workspace. It was evident that customer satisfaction was their top priority. If you're looking for a painting company that delivers outstanding results, exceptional service, and goes above and beyond, I highly recommend Five Star Painting. Their attention to detail, commitment to quality, and overall professionalism make them a true standout in the industry. I will not hesitate to hire them again for any future painting needs."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

If you have wood decking, there are several common deck problems that you might encounter. For example, your natural wood boards may fade over time due to things like sunlight, weather, and debris. On top of that, some types of wood decking can rot, grow mold, and attract destructive pests—including termites, carpenter ants, and woodpeckers.

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.

Local building codes don’t specify the number of steps a deck can have before a railing is required, mainly because stair height varies widely. Most areas require decks 30 inches or higher to have a railing. While not exact, that roughly equates to four to seven steps.

Liquid rubber is great for waterproofing, but it can damage your deck if it’s not applied correctly. First, it can trap moisture in the wood if the deck isn’t completely dry before application.  Second, applying it too thickly can create a heavy, rubbery surface layer that peels and cracks under fluctuating temperatures. For the best results, ensure the wood is completely dry before application, and apply the liquid rubber in thin, even coats. A quick inspection every now and then will help you catch any issues early, keeping your deck protected and looking its best.

Both a well-constructed deck and a patio can add value to your home. Patios are generally cheaper to build but don’t offer the same aesthetics as a quality deck. Therefore, decks can be more appealing to buyers than patios, increasing a home's resale value.
