"Dave was punctual and was very hardworking, making sure my new decking system was installed correctly. He took the time to install each layer of the decking system and made the finished surface graded so the water drained off perfectly. I would hire him again if I ever need to redo my deck."

"It started as a Deck repair, but when they found the wood was rotten and termite-infested, the entire deck had to be demolished and rebuilt. I am extremely pleased with the finished product. It is so much better than the original."

"Steve and his entire crew are all very professional, hardworking, detail oriented and they produce very high quality work. I am extremely satisfied with his work and services, and would strongly recommend In-Line General Construction for any/ all Remodel Work. Steve helped us with obtaining necessary approvals (HOA) and building permits(City) before the start of our remodel. During the remodel, Steve was always ready to answer any questions and many times suggested me ways to save money without sacrificing quality. Steve was very patient in accommodating and incorporating many of my last minute changes. He and his crew have thorough knowledge of all building systems as well as experience working on them. All the work was performed on time (barring some rain delays during winter) with emphasis on quality and perfection. Steve visited the site at least 2-3 times a week to check the work progress and made every effort to keep the site neat and tidy. Steve suggested vendors for various materials and all of them were very reasonable. He also suggested a Replacement Window Company that we worked with to fit in our overall remodel schedule. I truly appreciate Steve's willingness to help the home owner/s and will not hesitate to contact him for any of my future remodel needs."

"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

Homeowners should build their floating decks at least 18 inches off the ground. Having it at this height will allow for better airflow underneath and help prevent moisture-related problems like warping or rot. That being said, local guidelines for deck heights may vary depending on where you live.

Yes, designing builds to fit space constraints and meet functional needs.

Yes, pressure washing a wood deck can be a good idea as it effectively lifts ingrained dirt, mold, and mildew, improving the deck's appearance and longevity. However, it must be done carefully, as it's easy to damage the wood, especially softwoods. To pressure wash safely, use a lower pressure setting and a wide, 40-degree fan pattern nozzle (often white). Keep the nozzle at least a foot away from the wood surface and maintain constant motion, avoiding hovering in one spot to prevent gouging.

To flatten a cupped deck board, start by ensuring it’s dry. Then, try flipping the board over so the cupped side faces down and reattach it. If that’s not possible, you can use screws to pull it tighter to the joists or plane the edges slightly to reduce the cup. It’s best to replace severely cupped boards.

While the terms deck and porch are often used interchangeably, they are two distinct structures. A porch is a covered structure, usually attached to the front of a home, that offers protection from the elements. In contrast, a deck is an open, uncovered platform, often attached to the back or side of a home. Because porches have a roof, they typically require less maintenance than decks, but both features need regular cleaning and repairs to stay in good condition.
