"If I could give Ted 10 stars, I would. The team is professional and arrives when promised. Ted refinished our deck and it looks truly amazing. When other deck "companies" gave estimates, they only wanted to tear down and rebuild. Ted came the day after I requested an estimate, and gave us the hope we'd been looking for. He kept to his more than reasonable estimate, even after adding some beautiful touches we did not think of. He is an honest human being, and very respectful....so is his team! Very précised and meticulous work !!!!!!!"

"I called and got an estimate of $200 to adjust and weather strip two doors. He set up an appointment about ten days in the future, agreed to call and confirm when he was on the way. He did all that he agreed to do, adjusted and lubricated the doors, removed the old weather stripping, installed new weather stripping and adjusted the door closure.  He also adjusted the screen on my sliding patio door. Again the estimate was $200 but the actual cost was $115. I couldn't be happier and I should have had this done years ago.

"The workmanship was top notch. They went above and beyond what I expected. Beefing up the substructure of the deck and adding new angle flashing at no additional cost to make sure everything looked new and fresh. He was very meticulous in every detail. Would highly recommend this company.."

"Prime Solutions did a great job resurfacing our fiberglass shower. It had a few cracks that needed repaired and we went with a new color. They were on time to the job, fairly priced and worked hard until the job was done. Will definitely hire them again should we need any further work done!!"

"Easy to visit with. Answered questions I had. Work involved more expensive on the deck than first thought. Scott was great to call me and showed me what was needed and why. The deck turned out fantastic & went well with new siding we'd just done. Would call them again for a project.. Very professional.."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

When staining a deck, don’t skip surface prep, avoid staining damp or dirty boards, and don’t apply stain in extreme heat, cold, or wet conditions. Never overload the wood with a stain, as too much can cause tackiness or peeling. Also, don’t forget to test a small area first to ensure the color and finish look right.

Many people say the best composite decking is Trex, TimberTech, or Fiberon. These brands have formulated composite deck boards to withstand the elements and hold up over time. Each offers a range of product lines varying in durability, price, and appearance. Compare their different composite decking offers for cost, looks, and features before deciding on a product.

Two coats of stain are ideal for the best protection and aesthetic appeal. However, if your decking is made of particularly dense hardwood, you may only need one coat. If you want an intense color, two coats are ideal.

Yes, pressure washing a wood deck can be a good idea as it effectively lifts ingrained dirt, mold, and mildew, improving the deck's appearance and longevity. However, it must be done carefully, as it's easy to damage the wood, especially softwoods. To pressure wash safely, use a lower pressure setting and a wide, 40-degree fan pattern nozzle (often white). Keep the nozzle at least a foot away from the wood surface and maintain constant motion, avoiding hovering in one spot to prevent gouging.

Yes, using sustainable materials and recycled composites offer green solutions.
