"It went FABULOUSLY!! Dave and Chris were really knowledgeable and great at answering any and all questions I had!! My gazebo came down and went back up seamlessly! I presented a problem which Dave was able to remedy quickly! The idea he had was genius and it is perfect! Takedown and removal both went great and they left me with just my beautiful new deck!!! Kyle was always available if I had questions for him as well!! Thank you so very much to you all!!!"

"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

Deck skirting shouldn’t touch the ground, especially if you have a wood deck, which is vulnerable to moisture. Ideally, you should leave at least 3/4 of an inch of space between the deck skirting and the ground for more ventilation. Pros also recommend that you incorporate about 1 square foot of space for ventilation for the underside of the deck to every 150 square feet of decking. Proper ventilation prevents mold growth and rot that can damage your deck.

Applying too much sealer to a deck might seem like extra protection, but it can cause more harm than good. Wood is a porous material with a limited capacity to absorb liquids. When you go overboard with sealer, the excess can't soak in and instead forms a film on the surface. This leftover layer is prone to peeling, cracking, and trapping moisture, ultimately defeating the purpose of sealing in the first place. 

Covering your deck with a breathable tarp can protect it from snow, ice, and cold winter temperatures. This is a good winterizing solution if you don’t plan to use your deck at all during the colder months. However, it might be best to skip the tarp if you’ll still be walking on your deck or using it in a limited capacity.

You should refinish your deck to maintain its appearance, durability, and longevity. Refinishing your deck protects the wood from foot traffic and the elements. It also helps extend its life span by keeping rot, mildew, and termites at bay. By maintaining your deck, you can avoid the cost of replacing your deck sooner. A refinished deck also looks great and restores some of its original beauty.

Any wood deck provides some ventilation to the area below, as is the nature of that type of deck design. However, areas that experience excessive humidity and associated moisture benefit greatly from a dedicated ventilation system in the form of strip vents. This addition helps the various wood boards contract and expand evenly throughout the years and reduces the chances of twisting, warping, and buckling.
