"We worked with Ali (sales manager) and Tony (project manager), who took the time to design a project that made sense for our property and our budget, made a number of suggestions and recommendations and were never pushy or tried to "sell" us on something. The crew really went above and beyond to provide top quality workmanship and overall we were in very good hands. Highly recommended!"
"Excellent Service from planning through Execution and installation to final fine tuning. The folks communicated well and explained every detail of the step. Got permit and inspection done. It was seamless. Thanks. R."
"I bought the Big Deal which was just for a single top coat to reseal the deck surface. However, my deck was in a little bit worse shape than the deal allowed. However, Ryan was awesome and added in sanding and then did the reseal for no additional charge. The surface is not perfect but that is due to the rough pre-condition it was in and not his fault. Shortly after the reseal the deck drains started leaking in to the garage below. Ryan and crew came out again to fix the drain at no additional cost. Again, this was not in the deal I bought but they provide such great customer service. I would definitely use them again and will recommend them to friends and neighbors! "
"It went just fine. The painters arrived in good time, started work promptly and did a careful, thorough job. (The rooms look new.) They were professional, personable and pleasant throughout their stay, unfazed when they found the second layer of wallpaper (which I didn't know about) and. wrapping things up, went out of their way to find a light-switch cover that had gone missing. We'll have these folks back for our next painting job. "
"YGAL WAS RIGHT ON TIME AND HE DID THE WORK HE SAID HE WOULD DO. HE FOLLOWED UP WITH A PHONE CALL THE NEXT DAY TO ENSURE WE WERE HAPPY WITH HIS WORK. WE WOULD USE HIM AGAIN."
"They had to come back and redo it. The initial person who came out was not very professional. She was the salesperson as well as the provider and was always in a hurry to get somewhere and was kind of condescending. They were not very good communicators."
"He did excellent work . His price was fair and within my budget. He was courteous and professional. I plan to use Doug for future projects in my old house. "
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.

Yes, it is generally safe to have a fire pit on a deck, but you must adhere to building codes and take several safety precautions. For both built-in and freestanding models, you must use a heat-resistant barrier, such as a fire pit pad or heat shield, between the pit and the deck. Additionally, consider the weight of the fire pit and ensure your deck can structurally support it, reinforcing it if necessary. The fire pit must also be positioned a safe distance from your house, particularly from materials like vinyl siding, to prevent heat damage.
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.
