"I recently had the pleasure of working with G Parker Contracting for the repair and restoration of my deck stairs, and I couldn't be more impressed with the results. From start to finish, their professionalism and attention to detail were exceptional. They carefully assessed the damage, provided a clear and reasonable estimate, and completed the work on time and within budget. The quality of their craftsmanship is evident in the beautifully restored stairs, which not only look fantastic but also feel incredibly sturdy and safe. Communication was seamless throughout the project, and they ensured that everything was left clean and tidy. I highly recommend G Parker for any construction needs—this team truly exceeded my expectations."

They did a fantastic job andI highly recommend them for any of you future projects. Thanks Benny Steve and TJ."

"Joe Sullivan's painting did our office and hall columns and the results were great. We had them come back to paint a ceiling that was water stained over the winter and weeks later the stain cannot be seen. Both times Joe was responsive via email and fit the jobs into very specific days that we needed. They might not be the least expensive around but you get what you pay for. We will be calling Joe again whenever our next project comes up."
"The project manager, Shaun DeBiasi was very helpful and did outstanding work. The project took about three weeks to schedule (as promised), though I did have to contact Merryfield on a couple occasions to check in on scheduling the task. The two member crew were punctual (arrived right at 9am), and more importantly cleaned up all their materials when they left. All gutter debris and the replaced downspout were removed from the property. Our existing gutters are properly secured to our house using high quality materials (we have had other companies improperly secure our gutters or use materials that rust and are not weather proof). The quality of work was exceptional and I highly recommend Shaun and those at Merryfield. I will use the company for future work on our home. "
"Had an old wooden picket fence that was falling apart. Montco Fence replace the wood fence with a white Vinyl picket fence. The guys were terrific, it was a tough job in that part of the fence went through fairly heavy vegetation that required a lot of work to remove the old fence. We are very happy with the work and results. I would recommend and we will use again when it comes time to replace some privacy fencing we have in the next few years."
Concrete blocks are the cheapest way to base a shed. However, the space in between allows critters to go under, burrow, and even damage your shed’s frame. For a more pest-proof option, consider building a shed base with gravel or paver stones. Both options are fairly affordable and easy enough for a DIY project. For gravel, you can build a wooden frame to contain the loose material.
The lifespan of a barn is typically 40 to 60 years, but with skillful construction and proper maintenance, it can last up to 100 years. The actual lifespan depends on several factors, including the barn type, materials, usage, and climate. For example, the posts of a pole barn should last 50 years or longer, but if the structure is used for livestock in a rainy climate, it may rot within the first decade. Custom designs with high-end materials tend to last the longest. To get the best estimate for your barn's lifespan, you should consider its material type and intended use.
Building a tiny house is the least complicated way to build, especially if you’re tackling the project as a DIY. The smaller size means less complex plans, more straightforward utility installation, and fewer ways to make costly errors. Tiny homes still need to conform to building codes and often have other applicable regulations, so be sure to get the proper permits and confirm your build is by the book.
Yes, barn doors can be too heavy, although the limitation is usually imposed by the mounting hardware you buy and not your home’s framing, unless you’re building an unusually wide door. To keep the weight down, you can opt for 1-by material rather than 2-by material, and choose a softwood like pine rather than a hardwood like maple or oak. Check the weight limits on your mounting hardware, and always attach your door track to studs rather than to drywall anchors.
Whether pole barn posts should be set in concrete depends on the soil surrounding your home. If your soil is compact and digging conditions are agreeable, then setting pole barn posts in concrete is an ideal option.
