"Daniella was very nice and professional and I needed her the next day, (short notice) as we had moved out and needed the house cleaned the next day, so we could hand in the keys. She was there on time and gave me a fair price and had help with her and they were fast and very efficient. She went above and beyond what I had asked for and I did so appreciate that! The house was so clean and looked so much better than when we moved in! It was a rental house, and I wish I had her clean before we moved in. She had it so clean and smelled so clean too! We will definitely use her again for cleaning our new house! My husband couldn't believe the great job they did either! Thank you Daniella!!"
"He did better than the last person on the pool enclosure and driveway but not as well on the pool deck. Had to ask him to wipe up dirt left after pressure washing. Have never had that problem with other providers. He washed the deck before the overhead screens and did not clean up the dirt that fell. Should have done the other way around. All around nice guy."
"Joe painted the exterior of our house and did an excellent job. We had a leak in our house, and it was very stressful to have to deal with such a big damage. So it was definitely a joy to have to deal with somebody as calm, prompt, and efficient as Joe. We had four estimates we interviewed. Although, Joe was a bit on the higher price from the other companies, it was well worth it. He was very professional, returning calls right away. They were very thorough and clean up after themselves. He is honest about pricing and estimated time of completion. Moreover, he made us aware of future needs and maintenance. This is the first time that we used Angie's list, and I found that the key to doing it is really have different companies come to the house and interview them all. It was quite an interesting experience since just by returning calls can make a difference in who you can really rely on. Joe definitely will return your messages either via voicemail, text or email. It's been about six months and the paint of our house still looks like new. We are actually fortunate to have had him paint our house because he made it such an easy project for us. Overall, I definitely highly recommend him "
"My property needed an extensive tree trimming and weed removal. The owner and employees worked quickly and efficiently to accomplish the task. I appreciated the attention to detail to restore my property!"
Yes, you can build a deck around a fire pit, as long as it is safely enclosed, meets code requirements, and is at least 15 feet away from your home. You’ll want to ensure you have a heat-resistant barrier between the fire pit and your deck to prevent any structural damage and fires. A galvanized ring surrounded by pavers, brick, or stone makes for a beautiful, safe, and sturdy design.
You can nail or screw composite decking, but 3-inch decking screws are the better fastener choice. Unlike nails, decking screws won’t back out of the composite material over time. There’s also little danger of splitting composite material when driving screws, so you don’t need to pre-drill holes unless otherwise recommended by your decking manufacturer.
As with patios, there are many types of deck choices to choose from to add personalization to your home. Some common deck options include:
Attached decks are anchored to the home and include simple ground-level options or multi-level structures with stairways and separate landings.
Detached island decks are not attached to the home; they’re a freestanding structure in the yard.
Wraparound decks connect the back of the house with at least one other side and often are built with railings for safety.
Multi-level decks connect your deck through varying levels of elevation, featuring landings that are attached to stairs.
Some elevated decks require stairs that lead to the ground level per the local fire codes in some municipalities. In other regions, a staircase is an optional feature that can increase accessibility and convenience for homeowners who want ground-level access to their deck. Additionally, a staircase is necessary if your home doesn't have an existing door leading to the deck.
Liquid rubber is great for waterproofing, but it can damage your deck if it’s not applied correctly. First, it can trap moisture in the wood if the deck isn’t completely dry before application. Second, applying it too thickly can create a heavy, rubbery surface layer that peels and cracks under fluctuating temperatures. For the best results, ensure the wood is completely dry before application, and apply the liquid rubber in thin, even coats. A quick inspection every now and then will help you catch any issues early, keeping your deck protected and looking its best.
