"I have three decks. One required repair and all three required power washing and staining. The jobs were efficiently completed and cost was reasonable. Conscientious cleanup as well."
"I called Maximus Contracting about needing a new roof because of hail/wind damage. I needed it quickly because we're selling the house soon, and I didn't have a big budget to work with because I received less from my insurance company than I was expecting. Eric called back quickly and gave me a very reasonable estimate for the work. The new shingles are of better quality than my original roof, and it looks great. I finalized my shingle choice with Eric, and the crew completed the work the very next day. Eric even came out to my office a couple times because my schedule doesn't often allow me to be at home during the day. All in all, it was a great experience. I feel confident that I received a great value, and the customer service was exceptional. I would highly recommend using this company! "
"I definitely recommend Pickett’s for any repair or maintenance you need. Came out the same day I called, professional, courteous and thorough. Thank you Pickett’s!"

"We hired Scott to replace the front door and storm door. It was a all day project, but he did the job well. We had to rehire him to replace the door a month later (not his fault at all). He also fixed our doorbell that decided it wanted to just keep ringing. We give Scott 5 stars! Scott is first on our list to call when we need work done!"

Building a deck without a permit could lead to fines for both the homeowner and the contractor. The exact penalties will depend on your state and municipal building laws. You might also be required to remove the deck and apply for a permit before you can build another. While it might be tempting to skip the permit to save a few bucks, it’ll cost you much more if you’re caught.
It is recommended to clean your deck once or twice a year to prevent the accumulation of dirt, debris, mold, and mildew. The ideal times for cleaning are in the spring and fall. A spring cleaning removes grime that has built up over the winter, preparing your deck for summer use. A fall cleaning washes away messes from summer activities, preventing them from setting into the wood over the winter. The exact frequency can depend on factors such as how often the deck is used, its exposure to pollen, and whether salt was used on it during the winter. Regular cleaning helps protect the wood and its finish from damage.
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.
It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.
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.
