"Highly recommend! Our deck surface was previously coated with polyurethane and required hand sanding. This team took the job and I could not be more pleased. They were on time, diligent and very respectful. I would definitely rehire."

"Mike with Artios Painting did an excellent job. He was on time, very responsive, and started work right away. He is more old-school and prefers phone calls instead of texting, which worked fine for me and communication was always clear. He kept me informed throughout the entire project and made sure everything was done correctly. The finished work looks great and you can definitely see the improvement in the before and after pictures. I would hire him again and highly recommend Artios Painting to anyone needing quality painting/repair work. He also a jack of all trades."

"I would not hesitate to use Ken and Linda again because  they are very sincere and are very professional. They keep you updated with progress and do not hesitate to ask you a question  if need be. I cannot find one single flaw with the work Ken did. It was a very easy process. They give you the paint samples, you choose what you want and then tell them. I gave Sherwin Williams a credit card number and signed the form. This way Ken get the paint and he is on his way to start the job. He calculated the amount of paint needed and we have enough left over for touch ups through everyday living. We feel like we received a great service at a great price both Linda and Ken did a great job of cleanup in the end. Ken was very thorough and took the large bathroom mirror down, painted the area and placed the mirror back. I would have never done that ourselves. His wall spackling is flawless. We had two outlets taken out and you cannot see where they were. He moves all major appliances and even cleaned behind all of them. I don't know how he did this, but he moved our hutch with many breakables and it was moved back with absolutely no pproblem!  Again, I would HIGHLY recommend Linda and Ken Buford for painting needs. Our house interior now looks awesome and we are so happy! Thank you, Linda and Ken!!! You will be hearing from us again!!

Brady is the best you'll ever find for home remodeling projects.
Showed up on time. Took the time to make ever job right.
Projects were worked on over a number of months, one at a time.


The best and most honest tradesmen I've ever found.
We moved to Texas in January of 2014.  We whish Brady could have come with us.
I've found some good (and bad) people to work on the Texas home.  But no one who comes close to the quality of work done by Brady Brower.

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

The best direction for a gate to swing depends on its location and purpose, but swinging inward is the general rule. An inward swing is often considered safer, prevents the gate from opening into public spaces like a sidewalk, and may be required by local building codes.

There are exceptions and specific considerations. If your property is on a slope, an inward swing might not be possible. For a deck gate, it's safest to have it swing away from any steps. In a backyard, the direction can be a matter of preference, though an inward swing can be helpful when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

Regardless of direction, ensure the gate can open fully without hitting any objects or blocking spaces. While an inward swing is standard, a gate that can swing both in and out offers the most flexibility if your setup allows for it.

Yes, adding railing to a deck is a great way to improve safety and your home’s aesthetic appeal. Railings can be constructed from wood, metal, or composite, and there are plenty of choices regarding design and style. Always consult local building codes before starting any building project—there are often requirements regarding spacing and height that can differ slightly from place to place.

Ideally, a gate should be able to swing both in and out. However, if it can only open in one direction, it is generally best for it to swing inward. This is often the safest option, especially for deck gates near steps, as you'll want the gate to swing away from the stairs. An inward swing also prevents the gate from opening into a public space, like a sidewalk, and can be more convenient when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

There are exceptions, however. The layout of your property may require a different approach. For example, if your property is on a slope, the gate may not be able to swing inward. You should also ensure the gate can open fully without colliding with any objects or blocking access to other areas. For a backyard garden gate where public access isn't a concern, the direction it swings is largely a matter of personal preference. Finally, always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements for which way a gate must swing.

Yes, it is possible to add an under-deck drainage system to an existing deck by retrofitting it to the structure. This process may require some prep work. For example, many drainage systems are installed on top of the deck joists, which would require you to remove the decking boards and railings first. To avoid this, you could opt for a below-the-joist drainage system. For best results and to ensure proper installation, it is recommended to consult a professional. A pro can inspect your deck, make any necessary repairs, and then install the drainage system correctly.

The most likely causes of a deck leaning to one side are damaged deck posts, soil erosion, and inadequate deck footings. If you’re not sure about the exact cause, the best option is to call a contractor who can build a deck to inspect the damage and recommend the best way forward.
