"My siding project to replace damage to a portion of my home went great. It was scheduled and completed in a timely manner. I am very pleased with the outcome. Parsons went above and beyond to match the color of new siding to the rest of my home siding. I highly recommend this business! Very professional and customer oriented."

"I hired Gabeâ s Interiors to fix a couple weak points on my deck and to fix a deck door that was not closing properly. Gabe and his employees were very kind, respectful, easy to talk to, and professional in the work they did to my deck. They took a job that would have taken me all day to complete and got it done within a half hour. The price was more than fair and appropriate for the amount and type of work that was done. I would recommend this company to anyone looking to make improvements to their home as Iâ m confident they will produce the same results and provide the same level of care as I was given."

"Ken totally exceeded our expectations in terms of quality and timeliness of the work we hired him to do. He not only did a fantastic paint job, he was very polite and a thorough gentleman. 
His conduct was very professional in terms of keeping his commitment to finish the job on time, showing up each day on time, taking care of smallest detail and, above all, keeping a high standard to judge his own work. We call it KEN PERFECTION. He took great precaution to protect all our belongings/ furniture/ areas while painting. At the end of every day he would meticulously vacuum/ clean any/ all affected areas. 
He was so good that we even asked him to do additional job for us to stain/ paint our deck and put a new epoxy garage flooring which he again did it with Ken Perfection!! He completed all of our work at quite reasonable price. Everyone who visits our home notices the professional work he has done and are asking for his contact info which is a great testament to his work. We have dealt with multiple contractors to do different jobs at home and we can say with experience that people like Ken are rare to find and once found they are to keep forever. We would hire him again in a blink if we have a need in future for his services."

Brady is the best you'll ever find for home remodeling projects.
Showed up on time. Took the time to make ever job right.
Projects were worked on over a number of months, one at a time.


The best and most honest tradesmen I've ever found.
We moved to Texas in January of 2014.  We whish Brady could have come with us.
I've found some good (and bad) people to work on the Texas home.  But no one who comes close to the quality of work done by Brady Brower.

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Yes, Ipe is more expensive than Trex decking—both in terms of materials and installation (plus, Ipe trees are endangered). On average, Ipe decking costs $10 to $25 per square foot, while Trex decking costs $5 to $12 per square foot. Because Ipe is harder to work with, the price of installation is higher, too. For Ipe decking, you’ll pay between $20 and $45 per square foot for labor. However, with Trex decking, the labor costs range from $8 to $22 per square foot.

Be careful when choosing a product to help you remove ice from your wood deck. Never use sand, gravel, or salt, since these items can damage and scratch the wood. Instead, look for chemical de-icers that are marked as safe for wood decks or use hot water to melt snow and ice.

Deck stairs should have at least three stringers rather than two. The recommended minimum width for stairs is 36 inches, and the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors recommends at least three cut stringers to provide sufficient support on wood decking stairs of this width. Generally, stringers should be a maximum of 16 inches apart for wood decking and 12 inches apart for more flexible composite decking.

The average cost to professionally clean or pressure wash a deck is around $150, with prices typically ranging from $100 to $600. Several factors influence the final price, including the deck's size, material, condition, and how long it has been since its last cleaning. For a smaller deck of about 300 square feet, you might pay around $100. For a larger deck of 1,000 square feet or more, the cost could be closer to $300 to $400. Decks that are very dirty or haven't been cleaned in years may require more time and special detergents, which will increase the price. The deck's material also plays a role. Wood decks often cost more to clean because they require a gentle power washing technique to avoid damage. Composite decks are typically less expensive to clean, and cleaning a metal deck may cost around $100.

Pressure-treated decking may be worth it if you want a natural, insect- and rot-resistant decking material that will last for decades with proper maintenance. As such, it’s a much better option than untreated pine. Alternative wood decking materials like cedar and redwood tend to be less durable and more expensive. Some homeowners prefer composite decking, which is a low-maintenance alternative to wood but is also more costly.
