Don Carvey Painting was established in 1996. My company has 2 employees and I work on all my painting and wallpapering jobs.

"I hired Don to paint my upstairs bedrooms, front room, staircase, and staircase walls. He gave me a reasonable estimate. What I respected about his service was he was punctual, finished the job within the timeframe, and cleaned up each day when he finished. I would recommend Don Carvey Painting for any interior painting job. My upstairs looks amazing!"

At CertaPro Painters, our reputation is based on Certainty — your Certainty of a job well done. We focus on the details of every project — interior and exterior — and we focus on you, our client.

"They did an excellent job. I usually do painting myself. However the high ceiling and beams are too much for me. This was worth every penny I spent. They were reasonable in price . Because of the pricing I had them do a bedroom on top of the living room and hallway. Victor (painter) was making sure everything was correct and what I expected. He also patched my walls where necessary. Ruthanne at office was awesome! I probably now will just hire these guys when painting needs to be done in future. They made it easy and affordable."

Started business in 1983 as specialty cleaning mainly acoustical tile ceilings and soon got involved with interior painting with a somewhat large apartment rehab project and expanded from there. Although we are a family owned and operated with myself and two sons we are able to accomplish a wide variety of painting and decorating projects through out the years.We do small jobs such as a residential bath or kitchen or larger jobs also such as car dealerships, whole apartment complexes. Also in shop finishing work such as mill work, doors, cabinets, and just about anything that a customer may need as it relates to painting or finishing. With any good tradesman it comes down to the details, know-how, professionalism.

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Cutting the boards directly is one of the fastest ways to remove deck boards with hidden fasteners. Mark two parallel lines that are one-third of the total measurement on both ends and cut out the centerpiece. Then, remove the end of the board that doesn’t have a fastener. Finally, pry open the fastened side and pull it up to pop out the screw or access the fastener. This also allows you to salvage portions of boards for other projects.

The main cause of a rotting porch post is prolonged exposure to moisture. So, the best way to prevent rot is to eliminate and guard against moisture.

  • Use wood caulk to seal any cracks, openings, or areas along the post where water is likely to pool.

  • Secure porch posts into concrete, if possible.

  • Cover wooden posts with protective sleeves or wraps, often made of vinyl.

  • Install metal post anchors for extra support.

You can use a few different tactics to prevent your deck gate from sagging. Aside from using strong, rot-resistant woods, introducing a diagonal element—such as a tension rod or solid piece of wood to act as a brace—across the gate will offer better support. You can also use rigid joists to prevent the gate from sagging.

Building codes typically require handrails if your porch is 30” or more off the ground. However, it's important to check your local regulations and building codes to make sure, as this can differ depending on your location. When in doubt, check with a local porch handrail pro, who will know the local codes and be able to get permits if any are required.

No, you don’t need a permit to repair and replace a few boards on an existing deck. However, if you’re making structural changes to the deck or tearing down the old one and building a new one, you will likely need a permit. Check with your local municipality for the regulations and rules in your area, or ask a local contractor who builds decks for advice.
