"It had been some time since my gutters were properly maintained, and I needed not only to have my gutters cleaned, but also have any necessary repairs made.

I was looking for a service provider who was local to my area and able to respond in a timely, professional manner.
After taking some time searching out and contacting a few cleaning and repair services to compare prices, availability, and service level, once I spoke with owner/operator Vinnie Squitieri of V & C Gutter Cleaning and Repair I felt confident that this would be the provider I needed owing to his enthusiasm, experience, and stated commitment to do the work with the care and integrity that I desired.

I was pleasantly surprised by the courteous manner in which the entire job was handled from start to finish, as well as the professional and courteous demeanor that was exuded throughout the entire process.

When the work was completed time was taken to point out what was done relative to the cleaning and the repair.
The job was done in a maticulous manner; all debris and material was properly disposed of and the result was not only a more asthetically pleasing appearance, but also the peace of mind I was left with assured of the greater efficiency of the gutters around my home.

Thank you V & C !

"Howard was very processional and very nice to work with. He explained the process of how to clean and stain our deck. He came on two different days to power wash the deck and to stain the deck. Great price from the Big Deal. We really like the finish of the deck. Howard also did a great job installing two bike racks on concrete walls.

"These two guys did a spectacular job. They went above and beyond what we needed, but always asked us before cutting or removing any of the mess that our backyard had become. We would love to highly recommend them!"

"Not really what I expected ... we had a communications breakdown to start with and they showed up at the house unannounced at 8am on a holiday weekend. When we have had our gutters cleaned in the past, they normally would either sweep out or scoop out the gutters and then run water through them to cleanout the rest. This company just brought a leaf blower to get the job done. Considering the fact that I have a three story townhouse, who really knows how well they cleaned them out?"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Yes, transforming a deck into a sunroom is an absolute possibility. Building a sunroom involves framing in the deck area with walls, adding windows, and affixing a roof. This project is not an easy task, but it does provide a stylish addition to your house. Not all deck designs support this type of renovation project, so consult a professional deck builder before beginning.

The proper height for a stair riser or deck step is between four and seven inches, with seven inches often considered the most comfortable. Building your stairs to this height ensures a strain-free step position and minimizes the risk of trip and fall injuries. For optimal safety and comfort, especially on deck stairs, a rise of around seven inches should be paired with a tread depth (or run) of at least 10 to 12 inches. While it is possible to design stairs with risers up to 12 inches, this height can be challenging for children, pets, or individuals with mobility issues. Always check with your local building codes, as they may mandate specific dimensions that differ from these general recommendations.

PVC decking might be long-lasting, but this synthetic material lacks​​ the natural aesthetic or sustainability of wood decking. If you want to match your decking to your new garden furniture or just freshen up the faded surface, it’s not usually possible to paint PVC decking. When comparing PVC to composite decking, PVC is pricier and more prone to warping in hot regions.

Pressure-treated decks last 15 to 20 years on average, but with proper maintenance, you could get 40 to 50 years of value from yours. Reseal your deck every one to two years, and replace old or rotted wood as soon as possible to avoid structural damage. Where you live plays a role in the lifespan of your deck. Intense sunlight, rainfall, wind, and hail can reduce the deck’s lifespan.

While you can use various materials like sand or even just soil, gravel is widely considered the best option to put under a deck. It provides excellent drainage and is resistant to water, fire, and pests. Gravel also helps anchor the soil to prevent erosion during heavy rain and acts as a built-in weed blocker, reducing regular upkeep. Furthermore, it is simple to spread, available in various textures and tones, and adds a polished look that complements any deck design.
