Performed the repair expeditiously. (Leak at union in copper line) Replaced 2 foot length of copper pipe with a material called pvx, and took the time to explain the advantages of this material (like pvc except better). It was a simple repair but required crawling through a space about 3 feet high under house. Glad I didn't have to do it.

The original price seemed fare and in line with other estimates. The quality of work and detail, was not professorial. The dry rot in the 8 inch strip of siding should had been expected, there is a reason new decks have to be connected to the house with spacers and if the deck board is rotten, I would expect the siding it is mounted to to be rotten. The extra work to fix it was minimal, but this alone wouldn't have caused the low rating. There would be no reason for a customer to leave out the original work of the steps and railing, it was a minor part of the overall project. I now have a $10k deck that is not finished. He never asked if I wanted it excluded and there would be no reason to exclude it. I believe this was intentional to push up the price. At the walk through, I pointed out the decking screws, he made excuses, but agreed to fix them. I heard hammering and found him lowering the raised screws by hammering them into the decking. I don't know how many he hammered, but I guarantee, if I ever need to remove those screws, the heads will just spin. You can't hammer deck screws without some fracturing, they aren't nails. It was at this point I decided this walk through was nothing but a formality and he wasn't interested in fixing any of the issues. It is hard to find a good contractor in West Sonoma County, this one was prompt and seemed to handled the permit and inspector process well. The quality of the work was not in line with the price. The attitude I received on the walk through was not that of someone who wanted to leave a satisfied customer, but one that wanted his check and didn't want anyone questioning his work.
Update 11/10/12 Everything was agreed to before the contract was signed, nothing extra was done, except for the dry rot siding work described above, an additional payment of $350 was paid to the contractor for that and quot;extraand quot; work; approximately 1 sheet of plywood siding, cut into 8 strips. Connecting up to older structures is part of any remodel, the existing structures are rarely square of level, one reason to hire a professional. The existing deck being 15 years old, permitted or not is irrelevant to the quality of work. The contractor did a good job connecting to the existing deck (one end of a 30 x 8 ft deck), as would be expected under any contract of this type and is not and quot;extra workand quot;. Whether the contractor lost money or not, is also irrelevant, I paid the agreed price and the additionally$350 for the 8 inch strip of siding replacement. As far as the contractors office manager, that would be his wife, who I have never met nor spoken to. All I can do is explain the facts and let people come to their own conclusions. I added some pictures documenting the issues."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ca/santa-rosa/duvall-construction-reviews-6180871.htm"},"position":7},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Elite Roofing","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"CA","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Cherryl S."},"reviewBody":"Excellent.

It went well and quick. There was some minor damage and they documented and repaired that damage the following week. They even removed the old roof unit and hired a sub to patch the roof.

"I would very highly recommend Sola de Vega. They removed our old grass and some soil, sprayed the area with an herbicide to prevent unwanted grasses from returning, installed a gopher/mole guard, replaced the sprinkler heads, and installed new topsoil and sod. Saul was very quick to respond to our request for a bid and was very reasonable in his estimate and final costs for the project. I can't speak highly enough to characterize his professionalism, rapid follow-up to our questions and concerns, and great communication and friendly demeanor. The project was completed on time, including installation and clean-up, and the results were beautiful."

While the terms deck and porch are often used interchangeably, they are two distinct home features. Porches offer a roof that protects from the elements when coming and going from the house. Generally, porches are on the front of your home. On the other hand, decks are generally built in the backyard of a home and offer no roof or protection from the elements, like rain or snow. Porches typically require less maintenance and upkeep thanks to the roof, but both features require regular cleaning and repairs to maintain good condition.
There are a few ways to make your deck look new without professional power washing. First, you can use either store-bought cleaners or dish soap and water to mop your deck regularly to clean off accumulated dirt. To clean your deck and remove mold, mix two gallons of warm water with a ½ cup of distilled white vinegar or apple cider vinegar, rinse the area, and then scrub with a stiff-bristled broom.
For an average deck of about 300 square feet, you can expect to pay around $100. However, if you have a spacious 1,000-square-foot deck or more, expect that cost to be closer to $300 to $400. Likewise, if it’s been a long time since you deep cleaned your deck, the deck professional might need extra time and to use deck-specific detergent, which will increase the overall cost.
You should have your deck professionally cleaned twice a year—once in the spring and once in the fall. A springtime cleaning wipes away grime and mold that accumulated during the wet winter months, making it sparkly clean for summer use. Likewise, cleaning your deck in the fall allows you to wash away grease and leftover mess from the fun summer months rather than letting them soak into your deck over the winter.
The cost to build a deck is $8,025 on average. However, this cost can range anywhere from $1,500 to $22,000, depending on multiple factors, such as size, materials, and deck type. You can expect to pay $30 to $60 per square foot when building a new deck.
Cedar decks are often the most cost-effective option, ranging from $4 to $9per square foot for materials. However, pressure-treated decking, which is resistant to rot, is more expensive, ranging from $15 to $25 per square foot for materials.
