"I had an excellent experience working with Mr. Garcia who completed tuckpointing and fixed some siding for me. From the start, their professionalism was evident. They kept me well-informed throughout the entire project, ensuring I understood each step of the process. Their attention to detail and craftsmanship were impressive, resulting in a job well done. The tuckpointing work was expertly executed, restoring the beauty and integrity of my homeâ s brickwork. Additionally, the siding repairs were seamlessly integrated, leaving my exterior looking flawless. I highly recommend this contractor for their reliability, communication, and outstanding workmanship. Itâ s reassuring to know there are professionals like them who take pride in their work and deliver exceptional results."

"I had them remove a large dying tree along with a dilapidated treehouse and playset (which was in another part of my yard). They did both for what I feel was a very fair price, and left both areas looking clear. They were responsive and communicative throughout the planning and project."

Customers say: True professional

"We hired John to repair and repaint water-damaged drywall in 2 bathroom ceilings at our condo. John did an awesome job. The drywall looks like it never was damaged and the ceilings look like new. We knew when John came over to give us an estimate that we would hire him. He was prompt when he arrived on the first day. And he was meticulous about keeping the worksite clean from dust. We will rehire John for all of our interior painting projects."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Rot loves moisture, so deck rot typically impacts the parts of a board that stay wet. This includes the underside of boards, in addition to support posts and joists. However, any part of a board can rot, given the right conditions. 

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, adding railing to a deck is a great way to improve safety and your home’s aesthetic appeal. Railings can be constructed from wood, metal, or composite, and there are plenty of choices regarding design and style. Always consult local building codes before starting any building project—there are often requirements regarding spacing and height that can differ slightly from place to place.

Building a deck is often worth the investment, not only because it provides more utility to your yard and gives you more space to entertain but also because decks tend to add value to your home. Keep in mind that second-story decks often require concrete footings, which means they will bump up your property taxes, while decks built on the first story generally don’t require a permanent foundation and won’t affect your taxes. Even with the tax increase, decks are usually a good investment in the long run.

Composite decking might cost more upfront, but it delivers value in terms of durability. Unlike wood, composite material resists common deck problems such as rotting, fading, warping, and all the other things you don’t want a deck to do. The extra processes lead to a higher price tag, but you’ll save big in maintenance costs down the road.
