"David and his assistant fixed 3 holes in a second story deck then applied a metal lath and troweled on a layer of deckcretethe first day. 2nd day applied a fiberglass mat and saturated with laminating resins. David then shot a layer of knockdown texture to the deck and finally applied a resin sealer finish coat over the deck. The deck need 24 hours drying and 3 day wait before placing items on the deck. The whole project went nicely and the new deck looks great and should need a sealing in 5 years."

"We had In-Line do the following projects for us:
  1. 1.Pour concrete on the left side of the house where there was previously just dirt and gravel

2. Break up concrete on the other side of the house, as well as breaking up concrete in front of the house to fix an old drainage problem from the previous owners. This resulted in a nice, seamless concrete layout from the front to the side of the house.
3. Build a short planter wall in the yard to help correct some weird gradient issues
4. Fix a cinderblock wall on the right side of the house that was poorly doen by the previous owners, basically rendering access to that side of the house useless?even though there was an existing gate there.
5. Fix a short wall between our neighbors house that became dislodged
6. Place ledgestone on the front of the house, as well as on top of a short cinderblock wall (the face of it). On that short wall, he also installed matching wall caps
Overall, the project went very well. There were a couple hiccups but that?s to be expected, as no remodeling/construction job ever goes exactly to plan. We enjoy working with Steve and his crew because they are professional, always on time, and leave the job site clean every day.
 
Look forward to our next project with him!

"The GoodFellas Construction Team is the best. We have a new home in a new unfamiliar area so we asked our neighbor and she said she had a room addition from GoodFellas Construction and was gushing about the service and the new room. I wanted to renovate everything. The GoodFellas Construction Team helped me completely re-do my kitchen which included; custom cabinets with design specific drawers, granite countertops,  backsplash (subway tile), recessed lighting,  island addition and etc.,), we also had the floors re-done and added a farm house slide door to create separation between our kitchen and laundry room. We also two bathrooms that they worked on which included; new vanities with granite countertops and tile flooring. We also updated the plumbing and electrical because light dimmers are a must for the kitchen, and we were due for some new plumbing. 
The Team was very professional, honest, and responsive. We were in touch almost every day and he kept me up to date on the status of the project. The renovation process took 2 months since there was some complications with the city but my project manager made sure everything worked out and I could tell he genuinely cared. The GoodFellas team made sure that I was in constant contract during the remodel. 
Everyone that comes over to my place LOVES how everything turned out, especially the exquisite tile work in the kitchen back splash, the floors and the worksmanship in the two bathrooms. I've recommended the GoodFellas to all my friends and neighbors and will continue to do so because they are so amazing. 

Update! We had a problem with one of the recessed lighting and gave them a call and they sent someone right out to look at the light and fixed it on the spot no problems at all!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

The choice between Trex, a brand of composite decking, and PVC decking depends on your priorities regarding budget, appearance, and environmental impact. Both materials are durable and resistant to moisture and insects. Trex is often considered more eco-friendly because it contains recycled wood and plastic and is 25% recyclable, while PVC is fully synthetic and harder to recycle. Aesthetically, Trex is designed to look more like real wood, whereas PVC often has a glossier, more plastic-like finish. In terms of cost, Trex is typically less expensive than PVC.

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.

Composite decking may never warp, or it may warp quickly. Several factors can influence the rate of warping, including the material's quality, installation method, and installation location. Generally speaking, high-quality materials that have been installed properly are drastically less prone to warping.

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.

It is definitely worth sanding a deck to ensure the wood absorbs new stain. Sanding a deck removes the outer layers of aging wood, allowing the stain to penetrate. It also gives a fresh look to the entire surface as part of the deck refinishing process. Without sanding, your stain or sealant is less likely to absorb into the wood. While sanding a deck is a time-intensive project, the rewards are noticeable and long-lasting.
