"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

Homeowners should build their floating decks at least 18 inches off the ground. Having it at this height will allow for better airflow underneath and help prevent moisture-related problems like warping or rot. That being said, local guidelines for deck heights may vary depending on where you live.

A covered deck can be a good investment that increases your home value—especially if you live in a hot region with a lot of sun. A covering over the deck means you can get more use out of it, even on the hottest summer days. With a permanent deck covering, you can even add ceiling fans to help cool down your deck for added comfort.

Always sand a deck before repainting so the wood is smooth and ready for paint. While you do not need to fully remove paint before repainting, sanding helps remove any areas with weather and sun damage. Sanding also helps remove chipped or flaking paint and opens the wood pores to improve paint adhesion.

Both a well-constructed deck and a patio can add value to your home. Patios are generally cheaper to build but don’t offer the same aesthetics as a quality deck. Therefore, decks can be more appealing to buyers than patios, increasing a home's resale value.

In general, you need a footing at each corner of your deck, and within 8 feet of each other. So, how many you need depends on the size and shape of your deck, plus any local building codes. It also depends on factors like the load capacity of your soil and the weight of your deck. You can find a footing calculator online or contact a pro for support.
