"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.

  • 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.

"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

You can build an outdoor kitchen on a deck, but you should choose composite decking since it's more heat-resistant. Metal deck materials like steel and aluminum are also good choices because they're less flammable than wood. You should also consider the weight of the kitchen—make sure your deck can support it and any appliances you plan to use. You should consult a structural engineer to confirm exactly how much weight your deck can safely support when building an outdoor kitchen. 

Unless you’re using a 2-in-1 formula or painting over an existing coat of paint, it pays to apply a coat of primer ahead of your new paint. Decks see a lot of footfall and exposure to extreme and sudden temperature changes and moisture levels. The primer promotes better paint adhesion, moisture repellency, and a smoother finish, which means you’ll often need fewer coats of paint. 

Before installing a new railing, check the condition of the deck frame and joists, especially around the perimeter where posts attach. If boards are loose, soft, or show signs of rot, the structure may need repair. A deck pro can inspect your framing to confirm it meets load-bearing requirements.

Decks are generally more expensive to build because they require elevating and railings. The difference between decks and patios is that decks are elevated, while patios are usually on the ground level. Plus, decks are usually made of wood and need more maintenance than most patios. However, decks and patios serve the same purpose, providing outdoor space for you to enjoy.

It depends on the type of wood. The average cost to build a deck out of pressure-treated lumber is $15 to $25 per square foot, but more affordable varieties such as bamboo and cedar cost less at around $3 to $10 per square foot. However, when comparing the cost of vinyl decking versus wood decking, it’s important to also consider ongoing maintenance costs. For example, most woods require regular sealing to keep them protected against weather and rot.
