Mr. Klein was very helpful, came over when insurance adjuster was here, to help with questions I wouldn't of thought of.

Mr.  Beach and his crew gave us a great estimate on the work and started within a few hours repairing the drywall while we went and picked up the paint and materials needed for the door and window replacement.  They removed the front door and frame and installed new steel door and trimmed it out. They then removed the old bathroom window and replaced with the new window.  They then painted the interior and exterior of our home including the baseboards and windows. We had four electrical outlets that did not work which Mr. Beach gladly replaced for us to get them working.  As an added bonus, they also caulked all of the windows, doors and baseboards to make the project look perfect. 

They cleaned up after themselves and removed and even hauled away the old window and door.

With Mr. Beach's great prices and his quality of the work done, he will definitely be the one we call for all of our future work.  As they truly do everything.

Deck Repair questions, answered by experts

The best way to sand a deck is by cleaning it, sanding the boards and stairs with 60- or 80-grit sandpaper, and sanding the railings and posts with 80-grit sandpaper. You should sand in the direction of the wood grain to avoid damaging the timber. When sanding your deck, use medium pressure and aim for an even sand. Pressing too hard with a sander can damage decks, as most are softwoods.

Homeowners should build their floating decks at least 18 inches off the ground. Having it at this height will allow for better airflow underneath and help prevent moisture-related problems like warping or rot. That being said, local guidelines for deck heights may vary depending on where you live.

Choosing whether your deck should be lighter or darker than your house is a matter of personal preference, as there is no right or wrong answer. However, considering the pros and cons of each can help guide your decision. Darker colors are often chosen because they show less dirt, footprints, and marks from daily wear, making them easier to keep clean. On the other hand, lighter deck colors tend to stay cooler in the summer. From a design perspective, using a deck color that contrasts with your home's exterior can help make the deck a more defined and distinct feature. Consulting color theory can also make the process of choosing a complementary house and deck color combination easier.

Both a well-constructed deck and a patio can add value to your home. Patios are generally cheaper to build but don’t offer the same aesthetics as a quality deck. Therefore, decks can be more appealing to buyers than patios, increasing a home's resale value.

Because adding a deck will yield a higher property value, you may have higher insurance costs. It’s important to follow the codes and regulations set by your local and state governments, so your insurance rates can be properly calculated. You may need an insurance revaluation after your deck is completed. The best course of action is to speak with an insurance professional to understand how adding a deck will impact your home’s insurance costs before you begin.
