"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

Both aluminum and composite decking materials are environmentally friendly, with aluminum decking coming in as the most eco-friendly option. 

Though composite decking helps remove plastics from landfills, recycles wood, and lasts longer than traditional wood decks, it’s not recyclable and only lasts for 25 to 30 years on average. Aluminum can last well over 30 years and is almost always recyclable.

It is recommended to clean your deck once or twice a year to prevent the accumulation of dirt, debris, mold, and mildew. The ideal times for cleaning are in the spring and fall. A spring cleaning removes grime that has built up over the winter, preparing your deck for summer use. A fall cleaning washes away messes from summer activities, preventing them from setting into the wood over the winter. The exact frequency can depend on factors such as how often the deck is used, its exposure to pollen, and whether salt was used on it during the winter. Regular cleaning helps protect the wood and its finish from damage.

Both composite and PVC decking are excellent alternatives to wood. However, while composite is moderately priced and lasts around 30 years, PVC costs more and lasts longer. PVC is also more durable, though both materials are more durable than wood decking. Ultimately, the choice between composite and PVC decking will come down to your budget and preferences.

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.

You can add a roof to most decks, but you need to have it inspected first. If your deck didn’t come with a roof initially, it may not be able to handle the weight without some structural changes. You can add additional supports to your existing deck to safely add a roof, and tying your deck’s roof to an exterior wall can help add some structural stability, but remember these aren’t DIY projects and need to be left to a pro.
