"They arrived on time to start the work & did a very good job preparing all the walls before painting. All of our furniture & carpeting were well protected & the work was done in a very professional & timely manner. All of the clean up was taken care of by Paul & his helpers. Paul Sperback is a perfectionist & we would definitely hire him for other painting jobs. He even painted the exterior of our front door in a beautiful accent color at no additional charge to us."

  • Removed approximately 100 linear feet of sod in various widths
  • Dug down approximately 8" the entire length
  • Went to the quarry and hand selected the size and shape of individual, natural brownstones that would be the steps
  • Marked the placement of the stones for ease of walking
  • Laid each stone to conform to the flow of the path
  • Filled the area around the brownstones with natural looking, smooth gravel.
  The end result was a very natural looking path that flowed between the two homes and blends into the existing landscape.  It looks like it has always been there.
We are extremely satisfied. In addition to the quality of the work of this company, another reason we selected them is that the owner is always on the job and he runs background checks on all employees.  He also will not hire someone that is  in our country illegally.
We have since contracted with My Personal Gardener for our landscape maintenance.

"The work went very well.  Everything was done in a professional manner. The workers even made a few minor changes of the original design at my request.  This deck is somewhat unusual as it wraps around a large maple tree and around an existing patio.  It took extra work since an opening needed to be built around the large tree.  The design included bench seats around the enclosure of the tree.  A square box shape was also built around an ivy plant that climbs a trellis to an arbor. The tree and ivy enclosures are set into the deck making everything flow together.  Since the deck is low to the ground, at first we were not going to have any railings included.  When finishing up it was suggested by the designer to add some railing and hand rails.  This was a good idea and has made the deck much easier for my spouse to access.

"Joel Thomas and the people that work with him are professional, polite, and considerate. There is no need to be concerned about the people working with him. He is very helpful in suggesting colors that work well. He let me know when they would arrive, and they were on time. They covered and moved furniture, and worked hard and carefully. They patched imperfections on the walls, and painted the ceiling and walls. They also replaced four light fixtures that I had purchased. They cleaned up after the work was done, moved furniture back, and made sure that I checked to be sure everything was OK. Joel Thomas has painted and done repairs on the outside of my home twice before, and I would always hire him for that kind of work."

"I hired Wood Renovation to power wash and stain my deck as well as replace some rotted boards. They did a good job replacing the boards, but they also missed a rotted board, which was not replaced. They did a good job power washing and staining the floor of the deck, but they only used one coat of solid stain on the floor, which was not enough. The Sherwin Williams stain they used even says to use two coats. The ornamental caps that sit on top of the balusters were covered with old, chipping paint, and they did not sand them prior to staining. The owner, Steve, indicated that he normally doesn't include sanding in a bid, but he did come out and try to sand off some of the chipping paint. They also used a paint sprayer for the deck railings, which did not completely cover any of the railings and instead got on my landscaping. I had to have Steve come back out two different times to touch up every railing. Fortunately, he was very nice and accommodating about it. Overall, the quality of the work was not worth $996."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Yes. Freestanding or floating decks are exactly what the name implies—structures with their own support beams. You can build a deck yourself and place it next to a house for the illusion of a connected deck without the hassle. Or you can construct it in a separate part of your yard for a dedicated outdoor entertainment space. For the purpose of removing a freestanding deck, the steps are the same as an attached deck, but you don’t have to cut the deck away from the home.

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, snow should be removed from a deck to protect it from damage caused by moisture and heavy loads. Shovel the snow off of your deck regularly once it is more than four inches deep. Avoid using salt, which can damage your deck.

Routine cleaning, sealing/staining, and inspection prolong deck life and appearance.

Before installing a deck, you must build a base for the deck to rest upon, often made of compacted soil or gravel. While gravel is an optional material, it helps with drainage. Some contractors also recommend installing a weed control membrane, which helps provide a solid foundation for the frame. In the case of an elevated deck, a pro will often lay down a concrete slab as a foundation.
