"Fast, fair price, flexible. By flexible, I mean I asked him to build a couple of gates for the top level of our deck that would be toddler proof. He came up with really great solutions with hidden locks that even the craftiest of toddlers would not be able to figure out. I’m very happy with the work done and look forward to working with him again soon"
"The work was done in a professional manner. Very thorough and well done. Cleaned up every day. Kept us informed about the project. Well mannered. Would hire him again."
"The 2 individuals were professional starting with their initial assessment visit. Their projections that referenced necessary materials and time requirements were amazingly accurate which was important to me as I truly wanted the project to be completed in a timely fashion. They accomplished that as promised. They arrived early each day and worked late on most instances. Most important and pleasing for me was their craftmanship. They displayed a total knowledge of my requirements for perfect mitered cuts on each board as EVERY board on my deck consists of 45 degree mitered cuts. The gentlemrn are the eal deal. They are on my forever list. I am very satisfied."
"Braden was professional, explained exactly what he would do on my project. He was diligent in contacting me regarding the paint color I requested and applied 2 coats. He repaired the support beams as well as replacing the boards that were in need of replacing on top of the deck and lattice work at the base. I will recommend him & request Mr. Melton to do future jobs."

"100% recommend More Than Maintenance to anyone looking for quality work!! I had received numerous quotes from different companies, and Mr. Talbert provided the most reasonable quote by far! I signed the contract on a Friday morning and Mr. Talbert and his crew were finished with my 125-foot privacy fence by that Saturday at 2:30. He remained completely professional as he answered every question I had as he walked me through the final walkthrough. For as long as I live in AR, More than Maintenance will be my go-to for all my home needs!!!"
"I was extremely pleased with J’s Home Improvement. First their quote was lower than two other quotes I was given. In addition, there was no mark up on the cost of materials and no hidden costs or additional costs of any type. I paid exactly what they quoted in their written quote. They were on time, did the work in the amount of time they said it would take, and completely cleaned up after the project was completed. I plan to use them again when it comes time to stain the new addition to the deck in a few months. I would recommend them to anyone for their home improvement projects. I appreciate Angie’s List recommending them. Jack"
"Trey was very professional. If he said he was going to do something, he did it. My deck looks amazing and he actually got it done a day faster than planned. The cost was VERY reasonable and I'm just glad that I went with this business. The entire process was seamless."
You can build an outdoor kitchen on a deck, but you should choose composite decking since it's more heat-resistant. Metal deck materials like steel and aluminum are also good choices because they're less flammable than wood. You should also consider the weight of the kitchen—make sure your deck can support it and any appliances you plan to use. You should consult a structural engineer to confirm exactly how much weight your deck can safely support when building an outdoor kitchen.
When staining a deck, don’t skip surface prep, avoid staining damp or dirty boards, and don’t apply stain in extreme heat, cold, or wet conditions. Never overload the wood with a stain, as too much can cause tackiness or peeling. Also, don’t forget to test a small area first to ensure the color and finish look right.
Wood decks need to be replaced every 10 to 15 years on average. Natural wood is highly vulnerable to infiltration and damage from moisture, which can occur rapidly due to exposure to outdoor elements. You can protect your deck and maximize its lifespan by sealing it every year or two.
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.
Both aluminum and composite decking materials are environmentally friendly, with aluminum decking coming in as the most eco-friendly option.
Though composite decking helps remove plastics from landfills, recycles wood, and lasts longer than traditional wood decks, it’s not recyclable and only lasts for 25 to 30 years on average. Aluminum can last well over 30 years and is almost always recyclable.
