"Extremely well. I live a distance from my rental property, and I felt comfortable working with Marc by phone sending me before and after photos of the work he did. I found Marc to be honest, caring, easy to work with, reliable, dependable, and reasonable in price. My tenants and I are very satisfied with his work, and would not hesitate to hire him again."

"Jared is very professional and trustworthy. I arranged for a whole house power wash by telephone from 200 miles away and came home a couple days later with beautiful clean concrete, decking and exterior brick and siding. I wholeheartedly endorse Jared and recommend that you hire his business for your power washing needs."

"They were very professional, arrived in timely manner and finished the job in time agreed upon. They patched walls, moved all furniture, and then replaced every thing back to original spot. They were very neat and clean and made sure everything was cleaned up every evening before they left. This is the second job they have done for me and I will be using them again. Kept some of their cards to give to friends and family. Love the new colors that Tabitha helped me pick out.

"I contacted World Painting after CertaPro dropped out of sight.  We quickly got an appointment with them and they were ready to give us a bid that day.  The price was reasonable and it included power washing, caulking, and painting our porch floor along with the entire house.
They were able to start within the week and kept us updated through out the project, letting us know what was the next step and when it would be completed.  Customer service was excellent.  When I had a question they called me back within the hour. 
They did an amazing job and we have gotten tons of compliments on it.  We would definitely use them again.

"From our first conversation, I felt comfortable and HEARD. After dealing with some...shall we say unscrupulous contractors, I will admit I was on edge and wary. However, they were honest with me from the beginning. The cost, what would be done, and timeline were exact! They pointed out issues that could become problematic in the future, but did not try and 'bid' for another job. They showed my husband and I what we needed to work on, and what supplies we would need if we decided to do it ourselfes. They even did little things that we hadn't expected for no additional cost. I WILL keep them on speed dial for issues that will of course always appear in an older home over time. Most importantly, our home looks amazing! To stroke my own ego, their work showed how good my taste is. ;) Our home suits us now and my husband and I smile every time we drive up."

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. 

Expect to spend around $10,000 to $11,000 to replace a 20-by-20-foot deck. Using high-end materials like composite or exotic hardwoods can drive up the cost, as can custom features and design elements. You can also expect to pay more than average if your deck replacement requires a site evaluation or if you need the work done during the busy season.

Yes, deck pier blocks can be used as an alternative to traditional deck footings, especially for smaller or low-to-the-ground decks. Unlike poured concrete and buried post footings, deck blocks do not require digging or pouring. However, their use is dependent on local building codes. Some areas, particularly those prone to high winds, earthquakes, or hurricanes, may not permit the use of deck pier blocks. It is essential to consult your local building codes before choosing them for your deck project.

When installing deck boards, screws are generally a better option than nails. Screws offer superior holding strength over time, keeping the boards securely in place. In contrast, nails are more likely to pop out, which can create a tripping hazard. While you can use either, we recommend using 3-inch galvanized deck screws. To minimize the risk of cracking the wood, it's a good practice to drill small pilot holes before driving the screws into the deck joists.

Yes, it is generally safe to have a fire pit on a deck, but you must adhere to building codes and take several safety precautions. For both built-in and freestanding models, you must use a heat-resistant barrier, such as a fire pit pad or heat shield, between the pit and the deck. Additionally, consider the weight of the fire pit and ensure your deck can structurally support it, reinforcing it if necessary. The fire pit must also be positioned a safe distance from your house, particularly from materials like vinyl siding, to prevent heat damage.
