Above all, we are watchful of our customers interests, and make their concerns the basis of our business.

"I asked Don to replace a decaying cross tie retaining wall. He gave me an estimate of the cost and the date he would have the work done. He arrived on the date and time he stated. The wall was completed that day, The cost was as he had stated, a very reasonable price I might add. The new retaining wall looks so much better than the old cross tie wall. I highly recommend Don Hernandez for home improvement projects. Ann R."

"James started on 2/28/25, did not finish, & some of what he finished has to be redone. He installed deck boards on deck butted tight w/no spacing but on covered porch w/spacing, opposite the specs resulting in standing water & trapped debris on deck & entry for insects on porch; unfinished painting; missing joist hangers; new posts missing anchoring brackets; started but did not finish screen porch framing & screening. He substituted the manufacturer's bolts on one of the deck posts & those bolts are already rusting. Bolts on a cable railing system cannot be replaced w/o also replacing the steel cables (10 rows * 20' = 200' of cable). We did not discover the rusted bolts until after this text from his son on 5/21/25: ?My dad won?t be able to come n finish and probably not work at all anymore. I?ll just say bad news.? James left an unfinished job without a word of notice. So, if he is working, he is also a liar. Maybe he saw the rust."

"Project went well and Titan really worked hard to pull off all the permitting and local requirements for this project. All the teams working were top quality, respectful professionals who renovated our basement. Titan added in a kitchen, full bathroom, flooring, electrical, lighting, all new plumbing including sump pump and slab cuts. In addition a new HVAC and tankless water heater were installed. The final product was above expectations and within budget. We have since hired Titan for an additional project."

Decks and Porches questions, answered by experts

Ipe wood can last up to 75 years with minimal maintenance because its own oils help to preserve it. However, to get the most out of your Ipe wood deck, you should perform some routine maintenance, including regular cleaning, sweeping of leaves and debris, and rinsing spills with a hose. It’s also important to repair any deep scratches as soon as you spot them and reseal the deck annually to protect against scratches and scuffs.

While porches and decks are similar in some ways, the two structures aren’t exactly the same by definition. A porch is a covered structure that’s usually attached to the front of a home. On the other hand, a deck is an open structure without a roof that’s often attached to the side or back of a home.

Your deck may look or feel fuzzy after pressure washing because the high-pressure spray tears some wood fibers as it removes the outer layer of dead and discolored wood. This fuzzy effect is a normal part of the pressure-washing process and will go away on its own in a few weeks. You can opt to spot-sand your deck if you’d like to remove it more quickly.

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.

Yes, you can absolutely replace just one damaged spindle as long as you can find a matching replacement. However, if multiple spindles are damaged or you can't find an exact match, you might consider replacing an entire section for a more uniform look and structural integrity.
