"Attention to detail. They pressure washed and sealed our decks. Removed everything from them and put it back when they finished. Polite and Professional. We will hire their services again."
"Eric and his people are very professional. Eric is very nice and promptly to our request. He fixed our roof on last Saturday since it was raining on Sunday. He also gave us good advice about our roof maintenance. The fixing price he gave is very reasonable. We will definitely use him when we replace our roof next time and recommend him to our friends as well. "
"So Clean Soft Wash cleaned the concrete patio and made it look new again. It had years of stains and ground in dirt spots. Also cleaned the vinyl fence in the backyard and it is sparkling white. Last but not least cleaned the storage barn roof that was heavily covered with a brown and green moss. He went above and beyond and made it look awesome. He showed up on time with a pleasant personality and was very caring in his work. Final projects turned out Fantastic."
"Can't wait to have the other half of my windows replaced with Legacy. Very smooth operation. Any mess that might be made is cleaned up in a professional manor."
"First Thad helped me to determine which roofing product I wanted. I thought I wanted metal, but Thad showed me that metal was too expensive and not appropriate for the pitch of my roof. We went with a lifetime guarantee energy-star-rated asphalt shingle instead. Thad presented a clear and detailed price quote. He stuck to this quote, except for extra work which was required because of damage found. He charged me for the extra work at an hourly rate. Because of the low pitch of my roof and shoddy workmanship when the house was built, Mike and Thad found extensive damage under the old shingles. There were rotten truss tails, rotten decking, and rafters that weren't nailed in place, as well as misalignment caused by one part of the house settling. The ideal solution would have been to tear off all trusses and start over, but I could not have afforded that. Mike and Thad applied their carpentry skills to anchor rafters, to shim bowed trusses, and to fasten new wood on either side of rotted trusses, cutting the new wood to just the right angle. If you are a looking for a person to do a fast and dirty roof job (say for a property you're going to sell), do not hire Thad. If you want a roof on a building that you plan to keep for a long time, then I highly recommend Thad. He is a perfectionist. He ignored no problem, but for each one either got me up on the roof to see or showed me a photo, and then described options for fixing the problem. I feel very confident that my roof is now solid and sound and will last for years. I most definitely would hire Thad again. About the snow retention system on my parents' roof, Thad put many hours of research into finding the best product. The installation happened without a hitch and the price was as quoted.
"Rain snow or shine, it didn't matter what time. he was there start to finish. I appreciate how he knew what he was doing and how clean he left the job. He is efficient, fast and completed my exact vision and I am a customer for life now!"

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.
In the majority of cases, you don’t need regulatory permission or permits to remove decking components and materials. However, the exception is if you live in or near a wildlife conservation area, which could require permits and consent prior to beginning the demolition. Check with a local regulatory agency for more information.
DIY staining or painting is manageable with proper preparation, including safety measures, necessary tools, and adherence to safe weather conditions for application.
A deck doesn’t have to be perfectly level. Many pros even recommend a gentle slope to ensure proper drainage and increase longevity. The ideal gentle slope is about 1/8 to 1/4 inch per foot away from the property, leading water away from the home to prevent pooling and reduce the risk of damage. It also minimizes rot, mold, and other moisture-related problems.
To maximize the utility of space under a deck, it’s important to keep this area dry and clean. One way to prevent the area from becoming too wet is to install an under-deck draining system. This affordable home upgrade channels water away from the deck and provides usable space for storage or a functional area below a second-story deck. Not only will this be a useful maintenance upgrade, it can boost your home’s property value.
