"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 !

"They did a great job at a reasonable price! They came on time, and were very careful about my items and landscaping as they were washing. The house had a lot of mildew on the siding, but after they washed it, it came out crystal clean. The concrete walkway looks great, as does the fence. They were very careful on my composite decking to make sure there were no streaks and it came out perfect, back to the original gray color like the day it was installed. The job was done quickly and well. They are very courteous. I would highly recommend them."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Yes, it is possible to add an under-deck drainage system to an existing deck by retrofitting it to the structure. This process may require some prep work. For example, many drainage systems are installed on top of the deck joists, which would require you to remove the decking boards and railings first. To avoid this, you could opt for a below-the-joist drainage system. For best results and to ensure proper installation, it is recommended to consult a professional. A pro can inspect your deck, make any necessary repairs, and then install the drainage system correctly.

Rot loves moisture, so deck rot typically impacts the parts of a board that stay wet. This includes the underside of boards, in addition to support posts and joists. However, any part of a board can rot, given the right conditions. 

While experienced DIYers may take on the challenge, hiring a licensed professional is often the best route, especially for larger or elevated structures. A local deck contractor is typically the best pro for the job, as they have specialized experience and are knowledgeable about local building codes, ensuring your deck is built safely and designed to last. Other professionals who can build a deck include general contractors and carpenters, who may be more readily available in some regions.

It’s important to make sure the wood on a new deck is properly seasoned. Seasoning a deck is simple: Once you build it (or have a pro do so), just leave it alone so it can acclimate to the environment. If you don’t give the deck proper seasoning time before staining, the stain can lock in any lingering moisture and cause mold, rot, and other moisture issues down the road. Give the wood at least four to eight weeks to season before you stain.

A cedar deck can increase your home's value if the project is executed well. The value added by a deck is influenced by factors such as location, materials, and craftsmanship. In regions with warmer climates, decks are particularly desirable, enhancing outdoor living spaces.

The key to getting the most value out of your investment, both in terms of home value and personal enjoyment, is to make sure your deck is built to exacting standards. You should consult with a professional deck builder to get the best results and the highest ROI.
