"They have been great. In our case, we have a wood shingle house in a somewhat dangerous fire zone. It needed exterior treatments. They outlined our options and included a choice for making our home much more fire resistant - "Flame Stop 2". I'd seen it in my own research, but they were the ones to bring it up as a possibility. We chose Cani over another paint contractor who quotes a lower price, but Cani described the work they would perform and it was significantly more thorough and that convinced us to go with the higher quote. It has absolutely been worth it. They are on the last day of their work, and it looks beautiful. What a great crew and absolutely excellent workmanship. I recommend them highly."

"Zach committed to be the kit home assembly and finish contractor, building upon a foundation to be provided by others. I paid a $1500 retainer to Zach in mid-2017 to come up to speed on assembling the kit home, and to prepare a detailed cost estimate. I provided 80% plans (with all detail relevant to his work finalized) in mid-October 2017. I delivered the plans and requested a cost estimate within 4 to 6 weeks. I inquired again in January 2018 and in July 2018 as to progress. Zach advised me in August 2018 that he would not act as contractor due to high increases by his subcontractors (due a local fire-replacement building boom). I said that I still needed the cost estimate, and he agreed to complete it. Due to his family difficulties, I deferred the deadline until November. No cost estimate was ever produced. After a 15-month delay, when I advised him that I wanted a full refund, he returned $1000, charging me $500 for ZERO work product. Stay clear of this contractor!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

The main cause of a rotting porch post is prolonged exposure to moisture. So, the best way to prevent rot is to eliminate and guard against moisture.

  • Use wood caulk to seal any cracks, openings, or areas along the post where water is likely to pool.

  • Secure porch posts into concrete, if possible.

  • Cover wooden posts with protective sleeves or wraps, often made of vinyl.

  • Install metal post anchors for extra support.

While porches and decks are similar in some ways, the two structures aren’t exactly the same by definition. A porch is a covered structure that’s usually attached to the front of a home. On the other hand, a deck is an open structure without a roof that’s often attached to the side or back of a home.

Typically, most residential wooden decks are designed to support approximately 40 pounds per square foot, including the deck’s weight and any items placed on it. While this is fine for typical use, it is usually not enough to hold the weight of a hot tub filled with water and people. To safely support a hot tub, your wood deck will likely require reinforcement. Therefore, it’s best to have a contractor or a structural engineer assess it before hot tub installation.

When installing deck boards, screws are a better option than nails. For one, screws have more holding strength than nails, so they’re better at keeping your deck boards in place. Also, nails are more likely to pop out of the boards than screws, which can create a tripping or poking hazard on your deck.

The most likely causes of a deck leaning to one side are damaged deck posts, soil erosion, and inadequate deck footings. If you’re not sure about the exact cause, the best option is to call a contractor who can build a deck to inspect the damage and recommend the best way forward.
