"The bathroom entailed extensive work new floor, cabinets, walls, plumbing and electrical. His work was excellent and whenever there was a problem he took pains in explaining to us what the problem was and how he had fixed it. The out side professionals ie. electrician, plumbery, and plasterers he brought in were the best I,''ve encountered.
The front porch in a 90 year aldose posed some  problems. First we found that there were no footings underneath the front section of the porch. Kirt showed us the problem gave us the best options to remedy it and then fixed it. All the other work he has done has been top quality and to highest professional standards.
About 10 years ago we had a contractor re do a kitchen and bathroom. It was our first experience at remodeling and we thought we had done our home work. It turned out to me a long night maire. In contrast working with Kirt has been a positive experience and he will be the one I call for futher remodeling.
Some of the things about Kirt that the bid amount never tells you that put him in a class of superior professional are:
He is always on time and if there is a delay he contacts you and explains why.
He goes to pains to explain what a problem is and what can/needs to be done to fix it correcrly. He does not do junk work . It is either done right or he will not do it.
In a couple of cases it was almost comical when he would go over something explaining the problem and I honestly could not tell there was any thing that was not perfect. Ie. As our house is 90 years old one would expect that very little would be plumb or squarer. When putting in the back splash in the bathroom even the new walls were not perfectley plumb, so there was a slight hight difference in one end to the another. Kirt had to point this out to us but I still can't see it. What a professional!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Unless you’re using a 2-in-1 formula or painting over an existing coat of paint, it pays to apply a coat of primer ahead of your new paint. Decks see a lot of footfall and exposure to extreme and sudden temperature changes and moisture levels. The primer promotes better paint adhesion, moisture repellency, and a smoother finish, which means you’ll often need fewer coats of paint. 

Putting lattice under a deck will create a polished look that allows for air ventilation. You can also store items underneath as the lattice provides privacy and protection from the weather. You can also put lattice under a porch to create a polished look in the front of your house.

There are several methods for attaching stair stringers to a deck. The best way is to bolt the stringers to the deck joists using three carriage bolts in a triangular pattern. This method offers the sturdiest fit for stairs that won’t budge. Alternatively, attach the stringers to the deck rims using lag bolts or to the posts using adjustable slope hangers.

In most cases, your deck will need some form of deck footing to hold it in place, preventing moisture from rotting your wood and decreasing your deck’s lifespan. Concrete deck blocks are the most common type of footing for floating decks. Some homeowners use ground-level deck footings. For added security, consider digging and laying your ground-level footings below ground.

You can build an outdoor kitchen on a deck, but you should choose composite decking since it's more heat-resistant. Metal deck materials like steel and aluminum are also good choices because they're less flammable than wood. You should also consider the weight of the kitchen—make sure your deck can support it and any appliances you plan to use. You should consult a structural engineer to confirm exactly how much weight your deck can safely support when building an outdoor kitchen.
