"I am still in shock. We paid Justin in cash. $500.00. When I saw his work, I asked my husband when he was to return to finish. He said, "He's done." My contractor that was there doing another project, looked at the bedroom and said it would be nice when it was finished. Unfortunately, it was finished. I don't even know where to begin. Streaks showing through irregular brush strokes. Drips on to baseboard. Justin lied to us and said he had applied three coats of paint, but obviously he had not. My husband and I spent many hours over the weekend completely starting over and re-painting the job. Justin did not return our calls or hold himself accountable for the atrocious work he performed. It was obvious he wanted quick cash. He did not honour my concerns what so ever and lied to us over various things. I am left with the feeling that Justin needed fast cash and didn't invest himself professionally in the work. Not his house, doesn't care. I trusted him and feel deceived. PLEASE do yourself a favour and do not let this person touch any wall in your home unless you are prepared to redo the entire project yourself at your expense or hire a real professional. This is the worst work I have ever seen. He did nothing to make retribution. He did not apologize. He lied and said my husband approved of his work upon completion of the project. My husband paid him cash in the parking lot and did not get the opportunity to have an inspection. He did nothing with the trim work and said that he "doesn't do trim work. No one does." Except that he did not mention that during our initial interview. I rue the day I met this thief and unfortunately, it makes me question Angie's list and all people that profess themselves professional. When I can do a better job than the professionals, you know they are suspect. BEWARE of Justin Nolting!!!!"

I have over 8 years of window cleaning and over 10 years of pressure washing experience. I also provide pressure washing for homes, retaining walls, concrete, patios, decks and more. I do not provide lawn mowing service but can trim bushes as well as remove leafs/debris. I will do my best work for you.

"I was very impressed with this company. Our deck was old and in bad need of cleaning. It looks great. Luis taped plastic on concrete and house to avoid splashing any sealer on anything. He is very easy to work with and I would certainly recommend him for this type of job."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

If you want to use the space beneath your second-story deck, then yes, an under-deck drainage system is worth it. Having a drainage system in place lets you run power to the area, so you can install a ceiling fan, lighting, TV, or other appliances to create a comfortable outdoor living space.

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.

The cost to install a porch column typically runs between $300 and $600, although it can range as low as $300 or as high as $2,500. Most homeowners will pay about $400 for a porch column. The materials you choose and whether the column is ornamental or load-bearing will impact the final cost.

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.

Will pressure-treated wood rot? This wood could eventually suffer from rot, although it takes longer compared to untreated wood. Even though the chemicals applied to pressure-treated wood protect it, they eventually dissipate and leave the wood vulnerable. You can delay the appearance of rot in the treated wood by reducing its direct exposure to moisture and by painting it. Using fewer screws or nails in the wood—and thereby creating fewer holes in it—also delays the chances of rot forming.
