"Exemplary Contractor -- Made our "Top Five" list of the dozens of trades that we used in the construction of our new home.  Paul and his crew have an attention for detail that exceeds my wife's and my own.  The fact that Mrs. Sperback (Paul Sperback owner of firm) is an interior decorator simply added value to what has become a trusted and valuable business relationship.
We will not even entertain bids for our other properties since working with Protect and Preserve.  Their professionalism, pricing, integrity, punctuality, and absolute desire for perfectionism has won a customer for life from this outstanding contractor.
As mentioned, as general contractor, we worked with dozens of subs on a fairly high-end build.  Paul and Lindi earned our trust and respect early in our process.
Enthusiastically endorsed as professional a painting and finishing contractor as I have had the pleasure of doing business with in the last 15 years of managing real estate assets.
An example where highest quality outcome/performance can be achieved without having to pay ultra premium prices.

"The work was perfect. The crew was fast. Everyone was polite. The price was very fair if not generous. The color ALMOST matched the house perfectly. I’d definitely hire them again."

  • 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.

"Working with Heath was great! The communication and work-product were superb, he managed well through several owner-directed change orders, and he coordinated well with our concrete driveway contractor. A+"

"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."

"Max from Priority Painting gave a very fair, timely estimate for all the work to be done for painting my large 2 story house, large barn , and my very rusted roof of the barn. He gave a start date of a few weeks out and (unlike so many contractors of all kinds) actually showed up on that date and started work.
I am very hard to get a hold of by phone so I was able to do most communication through e-mail which was very nice. Max or his son Manny responded very quickly all along the process. Great communication.
His hardworking crew prepped the house, filled in holes, scraped, and repaired minor damage. They painted the house carefully and quickly- did an excellent job of cleaning up afterwards.
 They did skip over the inside of our patio deck and doors and but very quickly corrected that after being remided that they were part of the estimate.
 The only real problem came with the barn.It was not prepped well at all. Chipping paint was painted over causing the new paint to peel off immediately. I took pictures and contacted Manny. He came out and looked at it in person and said that it was in worse shape than originally thought and they would need to repaint it after rescraping it (I dont think it had been scraped to begin with !). He said they would need to charge an extra $300 for the extra coat of paint.  I did not feel this was fair since they had already given their estimate , but I did agree since I felt their original estimate was very fair. I think once you give an estimate, that should be it.
They also painted my very rusted , metal barn roof. They were supposed to give it a coat of primer , then a coat of paint. I'm already seeing some signs that may not have been enough to do the job. At certain times of day, it seems like it didnt cover as well as I would like. We will see. Priority offered a 3 year warranty.
Overall- excellent communication, fair price, reliability in showing up and completing the job in a timely manner.
I could have given them an A if it had not been for the barn issues.
Still would recommend them to others.

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Building a deck isn't too hard if you’re handy with carpentry, have the necessary tools, and are willing to put effort into it. However, other factors, such as plans, permits, and design, can be hard if you don’t have experience in those areas.

Note: You’ll need another person to help you build the deck (especially for framing and setting the beams). Building a deck yourself will be very difficult if you don’t have an extra set of hands to help.

Yes, you can build a pool deck yourself, but it takes precision, a lot of time, and many specific tools. You’ll need to create a deck plan, be careful with measurements, cut each piece of wood, secure the pieces properly, and ensure the deck meets building codes. Building a deck around a pool is a rewarding DIY, but it’s time- and labor-intensive, so thoughtfully consider your abilities and the time you have before embarking on this DIY.

When building a deck, #2 grade lumber is a go-to for several reasons. It’s strong, budget-friendly, and works well for most framing and decking needs. But upgrading to #1 or Appearance Grade can give your deck that extra visual edge if you're after a cleaner, more polished look for high-visibility spots.

Pressure-treated wood contains preservatives that give the material internal protection from rot and pests. Untreated lumber won’t last more than a few years unless you choose a more expensive wood, like cedar, that naturally stands up well to moisture. Composite decking can outlast wood but is more expensive and doesn’t look as natural. Keep in mind that you’ll need to seal any exterior wood product to protect it from the elements and other forms of external damage.

Many composite decking manufacturers, including the popular Trex brand, offer warranties that protect against warping under specific conditions. These warranties typically last between 20 and 50 years, but they usually exclude claims related to improper installation of the product. Some manufacturer warranties only cover decks built by certified professionals.
