"Terry has a good heart, and does a good job. But he was late everyday practically and had no crew a different guy every time. He did great work and is super friendly , but clean up is not his thing. He up ended a nest stack of boards I had, and left a lot of debris in the back yard A pretty good stack of boards and junk wood. We got along great. I really like Terri. But I did not get a bud. I asked how many days it would take and paid him $25.00 an hour for the three days that wound up being like 8 days. And some clean up he left for me well as not hauling off limbs as promised. (or burning them). Overall I loved the deck and I like Terry a lot. But I am a straight shooter and told it like it was."

"I had the pleasure of hiring Christopher for a couple of small projects around my house and he went above and beyond to make sure I was satisfied! He kept me informed of every step in the process with excellent customer service. I would highly recommend him not only for small handyman projects but as well as building decks! We are in talks of having a back porch built by him and I canâ t wait for another great experience using him!"

"Mark does great work. I had him refinish my front entry doors, installed light fixture and repaired some settling cracks in the wall. In the past he also did some fence repair. He shows up on time and is very professional and is willing to do any type of work. I highly recommend him."

"Awesome. Everything done in a very professional manner on time. Great suggestions on saving money and making things better. Bath was upgraded and looks much better after repair. Deck is in best shape since it was built. Super qualified and professional workers making sure they were always letting us know what they were doing and making great suggestions. Very happy with everything. All work was inspected by Mr Greenwalt making sure the work quality met his and our expectations.

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Although composite decking is extremely durable, it’s also susceptible to extreme heat. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause fading, warping, and cracking. Composite also retains heat more than wood, which makes it dangerous to walk on in the summer. You can help prevent heat damage by only building with composite in shaded areas or using rugs to cover the hottest spots.

It is definitely worth sanding a deck to ensure the wood absorbs new stain. Sanding a deck removes the outer layers of aging wood, allowing the stain to penetrate. It also gives a fresh look to the entire surface as part of the deck refinishing process. Without sanding, your stain or sealant is less likely to absorb into the wood. While sanding a deck is a time-intensive project, the rewards are noticeable and long-lasting.

In most cases, sanding an old deck before staining it is necessary to achieve a decent finish. If your old deck has a relatively new stain finish on it and you're only doing touch-ups, you can generally skip the sanding part. However, if your goal is to make the deck look and function better, sanding first is a must. 

To prepare a deck for a hot tub, start by thinking about safe and easy access in and out of the tub. Homeowners should plan for steps or consider built-in seating, a level surface around the perimeter, and a clear, slip-resistant path from the house. A hot tub requires sufficient space around it for comfortable entry and exit, ensuring no awkward squeezing or stepping over high edges. Good lighting and handrails can also make a big difference, especially for nighttime use.

Unless you’re using a 2-in-1 formula or painting over an existing coat of paint, it pays to apply a coat of primer ahead of your new paint. Decks see a lot of footfall and exposure to extreme and sudden temperature changes and moisture levels. The primer promotes better paint adhesion, moisture repellency, and a smoother finish, which means you’ll often need fewer coats of paint.
