"Bill B. of Tropicana Construction did a superb job for us. He reconditioned our bathroom after it was damaged by a leak and mold. He hung new drywall, moved some pipes, installed a new vanity, hung shower doors, and just generally got the bathroom back in shape. His work was excellent. His clean-up was excellent. His customer service was excellent. His gives great value for what he charges, and his charges are clear and simple. He has a fine work ethic and was a pleasure to deal with. He even installed a room air conditioner for us while he was here. I cannot recommend him highly enough."

"Michael did a great job painting the entire interior of the house (walls and ceilings) and even touched up the woodwork though that was not part of the agreement. He also painted the deck. He’s very meticulous and pleasant to work with. I recommend him highly."

"Neeko called me back quickly after looking for a wallpaper installer on a time crunch with a quick install. He came out the day he called and within a week we had our wallpaper installed and ready to go before the parade of homes! I will continue to use him in my design business!"

"The gentleman who repaired my screens was pleasant, efficient and timely. He also inspected all of the screens in both my front and rear lanais making sure they weren't in need of repair and matched the replacement materials with the existing screens. I feel the price of the services provided was fair."

"We just bought house in Cape Coral and needed pressure wash tile roof and stamped concrete driveway. Felix gave us very competitive quote over the phone and confirmation by e-mail. They arrived on time, covered all bushes and started work. We decided to pressure wash also garage floor and pool deck. After couple of hours job was done, tarp carefully removed from bushes. Roof, driveway, deck and garage floor look like new. Guys even removed couple of greasy spots left from barbecue grill. Work was done professionally and in timely manner. AAA+"

"Wonderful! There was a build up of green mold and moss on screens. The pool deck had years of ground in dirt. All was cleaned to perfection leaving even the deck ready to repaint. Very reasonably priced and very professional."

Deck Repair questions, answered by experts

Applying too much sealer to a deck might seem like extra protection, but it can cause more harm than good. Wood is a porous material with a limited capacity to absorb liquids. When you go overboard with sealer, the excess can't soak in and instead forms a film on the surface. This leftover layer is prone to peeling, cracking, and trapping moisture, ultimately defeating the purpose of sealing in the first place. 

Composite decking requires a solid foundation, substructure, or subframe to ensure stability. This base is typically composed of posts, beams, joists, and footings. The frame's joists can be built from various materials like composite, plastic, timber, or metal, as long as the base can support the deck's weight without shifting. A professional deck builder might recommend installing the frame on a solid concrete base for added durability. The final design and materials for the substructure will depend on your budget, the type of deck, and environmental conditions.

To flatten a cupped deck board, start by ensuring it’s dry. Then, try flipping the board over so the cupped side faces down and reattach it. If that’s not possible, you can use screws to pull it tighter to the joists or plane the edges slightly to reduce the cup. It’s best to replace severely cupped boards.

The best direction for a gate to swing depends on its location and purpose, but swinging inward is the general rule. An inward swing is often considered safer, prevents the gate from opening into public spaces like a sidewalk, and may be required by local building codes.

There are exceptions and specific considerations. If your property is on a slope, an inward swing might not be possible. For a deck gate, it's safest to have it swing away from any steps. In a backyard, the direction can be a matter of preference, though an inward swing can be helpful when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

Regardless of direction, ensure the gate can open fully without hitting any objects or blocking spaces. While an inward swing is standard, a gate that can swing both in and out offers the most flexibility if your setup allows for it.

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.
