"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!"

"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.

"Really great job.
Came to estimate my job less than 24 hours after my first call.
One of his employees did the work.  It was done professionally.  Clean, no over paint.
Floors and furniture well protected.
I added another project to the job half way thru. (paint garage door)
He quoted me on the phone, and got that done in the same day.
Very Happy with the work.

"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."

"I was not very happy with that. We ordered some wood flooring and unbeknown to me they talked my husband into taking the smaller pieces and I was not happy because I wanted the bigger ones. I was so disappointed. The size of the ceramic is about half the floor I ordered and it makes the floor looks clattered. He was a very nice person but the delivery of it was what I was not satisfied about. What I ordered should have been in. The work was ok."

"I couldn't do it on the dates that they gave me and I don't know how to contact them. They came out within a couple of weeks of when I bought it. I had family coming and told them that I can't do this now. I think they are going to do the $199 worth of work. It seemed fine. All that we did was walk around. He said whether or not he could do this or that. I probably would not have that estimator at my house again. When I showed him a project to repair, he said that was silly, take out the whole door and put in a whole new door. I told him that this part of the frame needed to repaired. He said I would be better off if I did that. He said that they could do this and it would be fine. I didn't like being approached in that manner, like I was a dumb woman and he could say whatever he wanted."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can build a deck around a fire pit, as long as it is safely enclosed, meets code requirements, and is at least 15 feet away from your home. You’ll want to ensure you have a heat-resistant barrier between the fire pit and your deck to prevent any structural damage and fires. A galvanized ring surrounded by pavers, brick, or stone makes for a beautiful, safe, and sturdy design.

When building a deck, #2 grade lumber is a go-to for several reasons. It’s strong, budget-friendly, and works well for most framing and decking needs. But upgrading to #1 or Appearance Grade can give your deck that extra visual edge if you're after a cleaner, more polished look for high-visibility spots.

Yes, you can draw your own deck plans in many cases. However, you must know your local building codes and be familiar with carpentry principles. Even then, it's always best to run your plans by a professional contractor with experience building decks, whether you choose to DIY some of the build or not.

Before installing any materials under the deck for removing moisture, you should perform some prep work on the ground. Work the dirt under the deck to create a grade away from the home. A grade of at least six inches for every 10 feet works well. Do not leave a gap between the dirt and the home’s foundation where water could pool. Once you or a contractor regrades the dirt under the deck, you then can add materials over the top.

Materials for a second-story deck must be weather- and rot-resistant, though the specific choices will largely be determined by your budget and style preference. Pressure-treated wood is on the lower end of the price scale, but it can be customized and stained the way you like it. Composite, on the other hand, is pricier for installation and has fewer options for customization, but you’ll save money and time in the long run because it requires little maintenance.
