"I had an unusual problem with my ceiling. Zach identified the issue and quickly came up with a solution. He communicated very openly and was up front about the charges for the work (which was reasonable). Overall, I am very pleased."

"Terry Eldridge does a great job and is a god-send. Due to health issues neither my spouse nor myself are able to keep our yard looking as trim and as neat as we would like it to be. But thanks to Terry, just like clock work, we can count on someone showing up to handle that job for us. Our yard has never looked better and it is being maintained at a very reasonable rate as well."

"Words cannot describe the work that Howard and his crew did on my bathroom. I previously had another contractor work on my bathroom and they had bailed out mid-way. Howard was able to give me a price within estimates I was thinking. The crew that came had integrity and was hardworking while working on a difficult bathroom. They fixed the previous contractors mistakes and brought an old bathroom to an updated modern look. Thank-you for your time and I will definitely be working with Howard Collier in the future. The images that I have attached includes the finish product of Howard Collier’s team and the final items that just needed to be part of the kids/downstairs bathroom."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Generally, a patio is more accessible than a standard deck because patios are constructed at ground level. However, decks can be made accessible by adding a wheelchair-accessible ramp, a vertical lift, or a stair lift along the entry. An ADA-compliant deck ramp costs about $3,000 on average. The additional investment will provide a much friendlier experience for your guests with movement impairments.

When installing deck boards, screws are generally a better option than nails. Screws offer superior holding strength over time, keeping the boards securely in place. In contrast, nails are more likely to pop out, which can create a tripping hazard. While you can use either, we recommend using 3-inch galvanized deck screws. To minimize the risk of cracking the wood, it's a good practice to drill small pilot holes before driving the screws into the deck joists.

Yes, pressure washing a wood deck can be a good idea as it effectively lifts ingrained dirt, mold, and mildew, improving the deck's appearance and longevity. However, it must be done carefully, as it's easy to damage the wood, especially softwoods. To pressure wash safely, use a lower pressure setting and a wide, 40-degree fan pattern nozzle (often white). Keep the nozzle at least a foot away from the wood surface and maintain constant motion, avoiding hovering in one spot to prevent gouging.

A random orbital sander is best for sanding a deck because it is easier to handle than other power sanders and is less likely to damage the wood. Most decks are made of types of softwood, so a gentler sanding process is essential to prevent permanent blemishes. For example, belt sanders can gouge softwoods.

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.
