"Ron told us what the work would cost and when it would get done. When the work was interrupted by rain Ron covered the work with waterproof sheets and returned the next day. Excellent work at a fair price. Highly recommended"

"Great experience with this company from start to finish. They were lower in price to a competitor and the salesperson was very knowlegable and professional in his approach. 3M products are what they use, high quality brand. Installation was scheduled very quickly and the job was done in a few hours with no fuss! Great company and I will recommend Total Shield Protection to my neighbors and friends!"

"Went beyond my expectation to repair my cypress fence and add a partial new panel. My fence was leaning and about to fall due to a palm tree pushing on it. Other contractors wanted to remove palm, or brace from my neighbors yard or just told me to save my money and get a new fence which was thousands of dollars. The other contractors made it sound impossible unless I would let them do more work than necessary. Luxury paint came in, never hesitated to fix the problem at a reasonable cost. The fence was straightened, three new posts, landscape timber at bottom and they made V around the palm with my neighbor's permission. It looks great, is secure for my dog and they cleaned all debris. You would not know workers were here. I highly recommend them."

"they were very professional. they were on time, explained what they were going to do, made sure I was understanding. They did an excellent job on staining my lanai deck after helping remove furniture, pressure washing, and staining and helping put furniture also back. I would highly recommend them for your deck needs. There price was very fair and they didn't add anything. Great experience with father and son. Barbara A, Cape Coral"

"Russell & his crew (Paul & Dante) did an outstanding job on the exterior of our home & shed Russell is extremely polite, very detailed, great communicator, talented & hard working individual He has all the qualities you as a homeowner look for in hiring someone to do a project at your home I knew everyday what was going to be accomplished, who would be on our property and what time they would be arriving & expected to be leaving They cleaned up after each day’s work and worked in very hot weather, luckily the two weeks where we had no rain. The workmanship is excellent and Russell explained how he would repair/replace the exterior window sill and rusted border panels so rust would not reoccur. I highly recommend Fletcher Quality Finish and we will be hiring him to do some interior projects as well"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Ideally, a gate should be able to swing both in and out. However, if it can only open in one direction, it is generally best for it to swing inward. This is often the safest option, especially for deck gates near steps, as you'll want the gate to swing away from the stairs. An inward swing also prevents the gate from opening into a public space, like a sidewalk, and can be more convenient when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

There are exceptions, however. The layout of your property may require a different approach. For example, if your property is on a slope, the gate may not be able to swing inward. You should also ensure the gate can open fully without colliding with any objects or blocking access to other areas. For a backyard garden gate where public access isn't a concern, the direction it swings is largely a matter of personal preference. Finally, always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements for which way a gate must swing.

When building a deck, #2 grade lumber is a go-to for several reasons. It’s strong, budget-friendly, and works well for most framing and decking needs. But upgrading to #1 or Appearance Grade can give your deck that extra visual edge if you're after a cleaner, more polished look for high-visibility spots.

There are several methods for attaching stair stringers to a deck. The best way is to bolt the stringers to the deck joists using three carriage bolts in a triangular pattern. This method offers the sturdiest fit for stairs that won’t budge. Alternatively, attach the stringers to the deck rims using lag bolts or to the posts using adjustable slope hangers.

Unless you’re using a 2-in-1 formula or painting over an existing coat of paint, it pays to apply a coat of primer ahead of your new paint. Decks see a lot of footfall and exposure to extreme and sudden temperature changes and moisture levels. The primer promotes better paint adhesion, moisture repellency, and a smoother finish, which means you’ll often need fewer coats of paint. 

Most building codes require that railing spindles (also known as balusters) on decks or stairs be spaced no more than four inches apart. This safety standard is often called the '4-inch sphere rule,' which means a sphere with a 4-inch diameter should not be able to pass through the opening between balusters. This rule is in place to prevent small children and pets from slipping through the railing. For the same reason, the space between the bottom rail and the deck or floor surface should also be no more than four inches. As a general guideline, professionals often install three balusters per foot of railing. However, since specific requirements can vary by location, it is essential to check your local building codes to ensure compliance before starting your project.
