"WOW.
I thought my 30 year old redwood deck wasn't salvageable, but Rupert convinced me to do so.  He was very prompt & reliable & knowledgeable and everything went as planned.    A real pleasure to work with, especially if you prefer texting over e-mails!!
I thought it was going to need replacement, a cost of $20,000 using a wood/plastic composite.  I am glad I didn't spend all that money- I would have had a plastic deck (Trex )that would scratch/warp/stain/turn to plastic-dust ( according to reviews at http://www.consumeraffairs.com/homeowners/trex_composite_decking.html) 
Instead, I have a sturdy splinter free redwood deck and $18,000 still in my pocket.  Environmentally I saved as well, by 'fixing & reusing rather than buying/manufacturing plastics that would end up un-decomposed in a landfill one day.
If you want a facelift on your old deck- Summit Deck Doctors is the way to go.
If you think your deck is dying and needs to be buried & replaced, don't do so without asking Summit Deck Doctors to resuscitate it.

"I hired Dinh to remodel my two-car garage, and I couldn't be happier with the results. The project included adding a ceiling, repairing walls, installing new flooring, and doing electrical and plumbing work, among other things. The transformation is amazingâ my garage looks brand new and shiny! The new ceiling also provides crawl space for extra storage, and I love how versatile the garage is now. It can easily be converted into a home office or gym. Dinhâ s craftsmanship is solid, and the pricing is very competitive. I highly recommend his services!"

"I hired Richard to reconstruct my front stairs, deck, guard and rails. He explained in detail the work he will be doing and provided a proper quote. I appreciate the fact that he keeps me updated on the progress of the work. Richard's carpentry skills are exemplary and outstanding. He made sure that whatever work he did conforms to the latest applicable building codes. I'm very satisfied with the quality of his work. He did not only reconstruct my stairs and deck but made it much stronger and safer. We are very happy and pleased with the work that Richard has done. We recommend Richard to everyone who needs work done on their stairs, decks and other carpentry work in their homes. Thank you Richard."

"Kasia was extremely responsive and kept me will informed throughout the project. We had a very tight time frame to complete the project and Kasia made sure it happened. The work was done quickly, professionally and was very high quality."

"I needed an arbor painted. We had it built about 3 years ago but the staining had faded. I bought the Tool Time big deal coupon for $350.00 for 4 hours of work. I purchased the deal early March, but had to email the company several times to actually start the job. It was finally completed in May. Spoke with Eric the owner over the phone but only met the painter in person. The painter stated that the arbor would need to be washed and primed and I agreed. We bought the materials like paint and primer. Was happy with the results. Didn't here from the company till August. For some reason, they were using an old email address instead of the one we were previously using to communicate. They did not try to communicate with me through Angie's list till 8/15. When I finally got the invoice, I was shocked to learn that they were asking $1500.00 for the job, which is more than I paid to have the arbor built, and about four times the amount of the initial deal. Eric's wife and I got into a heated, shouting argument over the cost. She states it cost that much because after the 4 hours, they were charging me their hourly rate. But come on! Over 24 hours of work to wash and paint an arbor? It didn't take that much time to build it. It ended with her request to email them with what I think is a fair price. I replied with an email stating that I would pay &800.oo on top of the the original price of the deal. That was in August and still haven't received a response. Seveal things went wrong with working with this company, maybe because it was a small job, there was not adequate communication going on. I wasn't given a quote verbal or written prior to the start of the job.

"They worked very hard from start to finish and did an excellent job. My yard looks like a different yard. I had a lot of work to do and they did everything I needed in the two hour time period. I have some bushes in the back that no one every cuts straight and even on the top, not only did they cut them straight and even but took quality time to make sure they were done right. My yard still has a way to go but it certainty looks way better. I have had several people come in the past and they have not done as good of a job. They left everything neat and clean and I am very happy with the work.

"Josh did a great job on my roofing repair! He showed up when he said he would, and the roof looks great! He also installed some replacement skylights and siding. He sent many pics of the job as I wasn’t able to be there when the work was performed. I will definitely use him again."

"I undertook a comprehensive, whole-house renovation in order to sell my older home. Although Mr. Lee runs his business out of San Jose, he willingly traveled all the way to my residence in Sacramento to take on the project, delivering highly satisfactory results within a remarkably short timeframe. From the initial contract signing through to the final stages of construction, he executed the work with such perfection and professionalism. Furthermore, thanks to the renovation, I was able to sell the house for a significantly higher price. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone. He is a diligent and exceptionally honest contractor."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

There are both temporary and permanent ways to enclose a carport. If you’re looking to enclose your carport for the winter, a canvas enclosure could do the trick. It won’t be as protective as a permanent structure, but it can offer some protection from elements like snow, rain, and wind. For a permanent enclosure, you can add extra walls, add a new vertical roof, or a lean-to addition on one side of the structure.

Building involves setting foundation posts, framing with durable wood, adding roofing support, and protecting from elements with water-resistant finishes.

When choosing a drywall anchor, consider the weight of the object you're hanging and how much weight the anchor will need to support. The heavier the weight, the stronger the anchor you'll need. You’ll find the weight capacity on the packaging when shopping for anchors. 

Also, remember that you can use more than one anchor when hanging something on the wall. If you're using multiple anchors, divide the object weight by the number of anchors to determine how much each will need to support. If you need help deciding which drywall anchor to use, you can hire a handyperson to hang your objects. 

Most Cape Cod houses are two stories tall at the peak, although they’re considered one-and-a-half stories tall because the steep roof pitch cuts off a portion of the living space on the second story. Unless you raise the roof on your Cape Cod house to add a dormer, the interior rooms upstairs will lose some usable living space to the sloped ceilings.
