"First, we agonized over leaving this review but feel obliged. We hired Adam Cullinare/Shamrock to: 1. Repaint kitchen cabinets. Was assured "glass like" finish. Not only are they not glass-like smooth, but are already peeling. Have to be redone. 2. Remove decorative wall @3 feet. He removed wall easily but unable to smooth out adjoining wall/ceiling or replace baseboard and flooring. The wall looked mangled; baseboard not replaced; and the floorboards he applied are nailed and glued together with wood caulk. Mind you, these are interlocking laminate floorboards that don't require glue/nails. Several nails protrude from floor. We and pet stepped on several times - it's like stepping on nails/puncture feet. 3. Paint job was inferior. Light coats, maybe to save on paint? Sloppy and slow job. We had to repaint all areas. 4. Quoted job as 2.5 week to finish. After 4 we let him go. Must have work redone. Not happy. Poor craftsmanship. Overstates abilities. Positive? He's nice guy."

"DO NOT hire this company. I hate my $13,000 deck!! Worse experience I ever had with a contractor. As a 70 year old woman acting alone, I contracted with Four Seasons to replace a wooden deck with same. A deposit was made for 1/2 in June 2023 with a start date of August. After that date passed with their delays, I requested to cancel. They had my money. I was assured with a new start date and agreed. The deck wasn’t completed until October 2023. The deck has issues. Pieces falling off at screw points, bowing and lifting boards. I emailed them this July with a very nice request for repairs along with photos of my concerns. No demands, no foul language, no hurry. Can you fix this? The phone call I received from Don Stanley was not pleasant. He was argumentative and defensive of the workmanship and wanted to charge for repairs. I did say, “that’s ridiculous”. He claims I was rude and because of that he could but would not replace the board for free. Who does that ? What a childish and immature way to run a business let alone a way for a grown man to act. He then said, “ I’m done’ and hung up. I called back and was threatened. I connected with Mrs. Stanley and was told it costs too much to send someone over and they didn’t have a crew for small jobs. I told her I would pay for the repairs, I pleaded. I just wanted this project done. She hung up. So what is it? Don’s world, Don’s way. No compromise no cordial, let’s make everyone happy. Don never inspected my completed deck. He’s complacent and only interested in the payout. You probably will never get service after the sale. Don Stanley is a miserable man with an angry disposition. Spiteful. He lacks in customer service, customer satisfaction and people skills. Veteran owned. Wow!! My veteran family members are appalled by your business practices. It’s been said, being a veteran doesn’t give you license to be a jerk. The military should be ashamed of you. Look elsewhere for your deck and fence. Read other reviews."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Start with a 60- or 80-grit sandpaper when sanding a deck, though this could change depending on the type of wood that comprises the deck and how smooth you want the overall finish. If you prioritize a smooth final finish, progress to a finer grit like 120 or 150. Avoid ultra-fine grits for traditional sanding, as it could close up the wood pores and make it harder to apply a finish down the line.

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.

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. 

The best way to sand a deck is by cleaning it, sanding the boards and stairs with 60- or 80-grit sandpaper, and sanding the railings and posts with 80-grit sandpaper. You should sand in the direction of the wood grain to avoid damaging the timber. When sanding your deck, use medium pressure and aim for an even sand. Pressing too hard with a sander can damage decks, as most are softwoods.

Regular cleaning and maintenance are essential to keep your winterized porch in good condition. Clean the screens, furniture, and floors periodically, and check for any signs of damage or wear. Depending on the materials used, you may need to reapply sealants or perform other maintenance tasks annually or as recommended by the manufacturer.
