"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!!!"

"Mike with Artios Painting did an excellent job. He was on time, very responsive, and started work right away. He is more old-school and prefers phone calls instead of texting, which worked fine for me and communication was always clear. He kept me informed throughout the entire project and made sure everything was done correctly. The finished work looks great and you can definitely see the improvement in the before and after pictures. I would hire him again and highly recommend Artios Painting to anyone needing quality painting/repair work. He also a jack of all trades."

"I would not hesitate to use Ken and Linda again because  they are very sincere and are very professional. They keep you updated with progress and do not hesitate to ask you a question  if need be. I cannot find one single flaw with the work Ken did. It was a very easy process. They give you the paint samples, you choose what you want and then tell them. I gave Sherwin Williams a credit card number and signed the form. This way Ken get the paint and he is on his way to start the job. He calculated the amount of paint needed and we have enough left over for touch ups through everyday living. We feel like we received a great service at a great price both Linda and Ken did a great job of cleanup in the end. Ken was very thorough and took the large bathroom mirror down, painted the area and placed the mirror back. I would have never done that ourselves. His wall spackling is flawless. We had two outlets taken out and you cannot see where they were. He moves all major appliances and even cleaned behind all of them. I don't know how he did this, but he moved our hutch with many breakables and it was moved back with absolutely no pproblem!  Again, I would HIGHLY recommend Linda and Ken Buford for painting needs. Our house interior now looks awesome and we are so happy! Thank you, Linda and Ken!!! You will be hearing from us again!!

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

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. 

The overhang, or nosing, of deck steps is another area that will be covered in building code requirements. The noses on your deck steps should have a minimum overhang of ¾ inch. For safety, usability, and code compliance, the nosing of deck steps should not extend past 1¼ inches.

When sourced responsibly, the most sustainable wood decking options are timber trees like redwood, pine, Douglas fir, Nootka cypress, and Western red cedar. These tree species are fast-growing with low carbon emissions. Plus, most timber woods make durable deck materials because of their resistance to rot and decay over time. 

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.

Yes, you can build a deck over your outdoor HVAC unit, but you need to leave at least 5 feet of vertical clearance above the unit. If you don’t want your deck to be that high off the ground, you could build a floating deck in another part of your yard—again, as long as you leave at least 4 feet of horizontal space between the deck and your AC unit.
