"We are preparing for more rain than usual and purchased a coupon for Thomas Parks Contracting to clean and repair our gutters.  Upon inspecting the roof while he was doing the gutter work, Thomas told us it was in fairly good shape and just needs some maintenance.  He also recommended a sealer.  We contracted for the work and he came within a few days with a crew to perform the work. All the work was done with professionalism and an attention to detail.  They even repaired two of our gates into the back yard - above the call of duty.  I recommend them with no reservations."

"Jean is such a sweet and hard worker. You can tell he really cares about his job and property. I hired him to power wash our tile deck and put sealant on it. He did an amazing job! Even some of the chairs legs outside were loose and he fixed them for me at no cost. He cares about a his customers! I have so many projects around the house I am going to use him for. He’s a jack of all trades and I’m very happy I found such a great carpenter!"

"Requested and got estimate for rebuilding 16' square wood deck. Agreed on price and advanced funds for materials, only to receive phone call regarding additional charge for material delivery. Im agreed, and paid. Les came with helper, and removed old deck, piling rotten wood and other waste at corner of yard. When I asked how waste was to be disposed of, he said, "I don't know, that's your responsibility". I had to arrange and pay for delivery of dumpster - Les and his helper did grudgingly agree to help fill the dumpster. While he said the job would take 2 days, and started on Thursday, by the end of the day Friday, when job wasn't finished, he said he couldn't return on Saturday, but would on Sunday. His helper actually seemed more knowledgeable about deck construction. Despite my repeated comments regarding spacing of deck boards, he refused to leave any space between boards, and only said that as boards "dried out", there would be space for drainage. He did return on Sunday, and did finish the deck, and left late Sunday afternoon, without cleaning up any of the surrounding debris. I then spent 2 days picking up debris, deck screws and construction waste from our lawn. Furthermore, in screwing down decking, Les drilled through an electrical cord linking the sprinkler timer to a number of valves. When told about this, he first refused responsibility, the reluctantly returned to replace the damaged wire. After doing so, and even though the sprinkler system still would not work as before, he refused to do any other work to remedy what several knowledgable parties say was clearly his responsibility, including replacing the board that was removed by another handyman to access the wire. After three people who know about these things tried to reset/reprogram timer, it was determined that the puncture of the wire, and the splicing of a new wire improperly by Les has caused the timer's brain to be damaged. Les refused to reimburse us for even part of the cost of new sprinkler timer and installer cost. When confronted by phone, he made a number of accusations regarding other's people being responsible, including our gardner, who has installed many timers without a problem."

"Goodfellas Construction has been spectacular on my bathroom renovation. Built in 1940, the two bedroom one bath house had never had a major renovation. Usually just maintenance to solve what was required to fix an immediate problem. The bathroom was the obvious choice for a renovation starting point - the small shower stall (like a closet with water), cast iron tub, linoleum floor, old pipes and inadequate lighting were really depressing. After asking friends and neighbors and driving by construction sites, I found GOODFELLAS and called to set up a meeting. Danny Gold came to the house, and we talked about what I wanted in the renovation. Based on our discussion, he wrote up a fair estimate and specified the things I would be responsible for providing and the things that Goodfellas would provide. This approach allows the homeowner to personalize the project - you get to select the materials for flooring, vanity, plumbing fixtures, etc. so you have control of what the finshed project will look like. Danny Gold remained the focal point of the construction management effort. He was always available for questions or guidance throughout the project. He is personable and knowledgeable and is always aware of how his subcontractors are progressing. Goodfellas started in the bathroom, but as I could see the resullts of their work, the scope of the project enlarged - Re-pipe, Drain line upgrade, Electrical upgrade, Forced Air furnace replacement and painting. Goodfellas brought in their specialty subcontractors and never failed to please. The subcontractors were always on time, and ready to work for as long as it took to finish. Considering the extent of the work being done, the level of inconvenience for me was always a priority. Contractors left the job as clean as possible, and kept me in the loop as to what was going to happen next and when they would be finished with each subsequent phase. Goodfellas worked well with the City of Glendale permitting department, Department of Water and Power and the individual inspectors that certified the work. At each inspection, a Goodfellas representative and the subcontractor were available to answer any question or concern that arose. I like Goodfellas so much I’m going for the kitchen remodel next week."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

A covered deck can be a good investment that increases your home value—especially if you live in a hot region with a lot of sun. A covering over the deck means you can get more use out of it, even on the hottest summer days. With a permanent deck covering, you can even add ceiling fans to help cool down your deck for added comfort.

Yes, but ensuring the deck has a solid foundation with adequate footings is critical before building, as the weight of a sunroom will put significant pressure on the structure below. Even if your deck is properly constructed, it may not be able to handle the extra weight. While some basic, lightweight, prefabricated sunrooms can sit on a deck with a strong existing foundation without additional supports, in many cases, the foundation and joists will need reinforcement. It is always best to have a structural engineer perform an inspection to evaluate the deck's quality and structural integrity. A professional can help you decide if reinforcement is sufficient or if it's better to tear down the deck and start over.

Building codes for deck railings can vary by location, so it's important to consult your local regulations before construction. Generally, a guardrail is required for any deck that is more than 30 inches above the ground.

For residential properties, the standard minimum height for a deck railing is 36 inches. However, some states and municipalities have stricter requirements; for example, California and Washington mandate railings that are at least 42 inches high. Therefore, a 42-inch railing is not considered too high and may be required in your area or chosen voluntarily for additional safety.

In addition to height requirements, codes also specify other safety features, such as the maximum spacing between balusters to ensure they are close enough to prevent a child from squeezing through.

It is possible to build your own deck, but it’s typically better to leave the work to a decking professional. Decks can be exceptionally complicated, especially if you want a wrap-around or second-story deck, and you don’t want to risk making an expensive or dangerous mistake. It’s usually better to hire a decking pro who can pull permits and build a structurally sound deck that will last for decades and provide the maximum return on investment.

If you want to make a deck cleaner from products already in your home, there are various options. The most common is to use a gentle blend of 1 gallon of warm water and 2 tablespoons of ammonia-free dish soap. You can also mix water with distilled vinegar. Sprinkling on some baking soda can help to remove mold and mildew. You can add oxygen bleach (but never damaging chlorine bleach) to the water and ammonia-free dish soap solution for something a bit stronger.
