"Unfortunately, per Jerry, he phoned a couple of days after he came to review the work to be done and left a message with another member of my household who did not tell me before I wrote the prior review.  Therefore, please disregard the prior review.  Per phone conversation on 3-24-14, he would have charged about $650, which would have been acceptable.
Will keep Woodward Construction in mind for future projects.

"Rick and his crew were absolutely wonderful! We received quotes from several painters; however, none were as thorough in their assessment of our home as Rick. After witnessing him in action we knew we would be in good hands and Rick and his crew certainly lived up to that. On day one we looked out our window and saw Rick and crew arriving precisely on time. When we opened the door Rick shook our hands and then proceeded to introduce his team one by one. We had such wonderful first impressions! What happened over the course of the following five days left us knowing that Four Seasons will always be our painting company of choice and will be to whom we refer all of our family and friends! Ok, so on to what happened while the team was in our home! The obvious care and concern the crew took with ensuring the proper protection was given to our furniture and carpet was so appreciated! The obvious care and concern every step of the way in paint application, light fixture and bathroom accessories change was extraordinary! These guys made our home look brand new....inside and out! It has been over 1.5 years since the work was completed and we continue to absolutely love the job which was done. The quality of workmanship, the owner and the team at Four Seasons is top notch!

"Creig was extremely professional and responsive.  He got everything done on the list (which grew by a couple of items during his first visit to the home to provide an estimate).  Due to the urgency of getting the home ready for professional photos and listed for sale, Creig agreed to perform the work on a Saturday, even though he already had one job scheduled that day.  He stayed until 10:00 p.m. on Saturday, in order to get the work done.  I will definitely call him again for any home repairs!

"Everything went great, very nice and professional and the pricing was far less than anyone else offered. I highly recommend. I will probably have them back to pressure wash my house when the weather warms up again."

"Do make sure you and your contractor understand each other and explain exactly what you need and want.  Most often
old homes will have problems with dry rot, termites, old electrical and a good contractor lets you know you have these problems and will give you an estimate of what it will cost to fix them.  My opinion is if you are going to have a job done you should not mask problems.  We were fortunate not to have had dry rot.  The bones of our house was in very good condition.  However, our electrical panel was going to need replacing.  If you have your home already open to reside or whatever you are doing the extra time and cost is worth it. 

Do check for licesne that is current.  No what type of permits will be needed."

"Purchased Big Deal for house painting. Did not hear from contractor so emailed and then left message on phone. Received call back about two weeks later and scheduled estimate. Estimator took my fan deck to get a color match, and I advised her we needed this done ASAP.

Another week went by, then another, left message to please provide estimate. no response. Contacted help desk. Advised help desk we wished to cancel this contractor for non response. Another week went by and received phone message from contractor, that they needed to schedule the power wash, still no mention of estimate! This made me uncomfortable as I would then be committed to continue with no idea what it would cost."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

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.

There are a variety of second-story deck privacy ideas depending on your budget and aesthetic. For starters, you might consider fencing or tall privacy railing that masks a good portion of the open deck. A pergola or an awning can provide additional cover and shade. Outdoor curtains are an easy way to add or remove privacy at your convenience, plus they’re a wallet-friendly way to decorate your deck.

Ideally, a gate should be able to swing both in and out. However, if it can only open in one direction, it is generally best for it to swing inward. This is often the safest option, especially for deck gates near steps, as you'll want the gate to swing away from the stairs. An inward swing also prevents the gate from opening into a public space, like a sidewalk, and can be more convenient when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

There are exceptions, however. The layout of your property may require a different approach. For example, if your property is on a slope, the gate may not be able to swing inward. You should also ensure the gate can open fully without colliding with any objects or blocking access to other areas. For a backyard garden gate where public access isn't a concern, the direction it swings is largely a matter of personal preference. Finally, always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements for which way a gate must swing.

For the best results, stay off of your deck for at least 48 hours after sealing it. Giving the sealant at least two full days to cure ensures it can fully penetrate the wood, giving you the most protection from sun and weather damage later on. Walking on the deck too soon can prevent it from properly curing and cause your deck to weather prematurely.

Any wood deck provides some ventilation to the area below, as is the nature of that type of deck design. However, areas that experience excessive humidity and associated moisture benefit greatly from a dedicated ventilation system in the form of strip vents. This addition helps the various wood boards contract and expand evenly throughout the years and reduces the chances of twisting, warping, and buckling.
