"Phillip and his team did an excellent job not only on our painting requirements, but also on other repairs around our home that we learned were services they offered. The team was very organized, did the heavy lifting, disassembly and reassembly of our larger furniture items; and impressed with their knowledge to disassemble and reassemble our home entertainment unit and have us watching TV each night they were on the job. Their prices were very competitive and a Value for the quality of their work. I highly recommend Northshore Painting for interior and exterior painting as well as other home improvement requirements."

"We have had Mike Saulino and his crew do work on our rental home. 1. He responds immediately when you contact him. 2. He will schedule within a day or so to look at the job. 3. He provides a written estimate shortly after the site visit and then upon your agreement, he schedules the work and starts all preliminary set-up. His team arrived promptly at 8:30am and started the job. They were polite, knowledgeable and very efficient. This was a big job, as we were getting ready to rent the house back out within a few days. They did some outside repairs as well as inside, including soffits, fascia, siding, tile, sheetrock, carpentry work as well as some landscaping. We also had them replace some deck boards. Excellent job, professional, dependable & extremely competent. We highly recommend RH & MS, LLC for any type of construction job!"

"Came out the same day for a quote which was great! The job was priced a bit high after all was wrapped up. Had an unconventional way of receiving a large payment which made it feel a bit sketchy. Quality of the repairs were good."

Deck Repair questions, answered by experts

When installing deck boards, screws are generally a better option than nails. Screws offer superior holding strength over time, keeping the boards securely in place. In contrast, nails are more likely to pop out, which can create a tripping hazard. While you can use either, we recommend using 3-inch galvanized deck screws. To minimize the risk of cracking the wood, it's a good practice to drill small pilot holes before driving the screws into the deck joists.

Composite decking is the best material for individuals living with disabilities who want to age in place. The material is anti-slip, which increases safety throughout the year. It’s also highly durable and requires minimal maintenance, so it doesn’t add another item to the individual’s to-do list. It’s also a good option for improving wheelchair accessibility at home, as it can easily manage a wheelchair ramp.

The best base materials for a ground-level or floating deck are typically gravel and crushed stone (also known as landscaping rocks). These options are inexpensive, provide excellent drainage, prevent weeds, and help minimize moisture buildup, which reduces shifting and rotting. For added stability and to evenly distribute the weight, you can use concrete deck blocks or pavers. While more expensive, concrete blocks and pavers offer a sturdier base than gravel or crushed stone alone.

Pavers are a great decking option for pools. They’re customizable, come in a variety of shapes, sizes, colors, textures, materials, and price points, and they’re slip-resistant. Concrete pool decks, on the other hand, are harder to repair and replace if damaged and aren’t as slip-resistant as most paver materials. However, not all pavers are equal in terms of durability, maintenance, and performance. Pavers also have their own cons that may encourage homeowners to opt for stamped concrete instead, such as higher upfront costs.

Composite decking requires a solid foundation, substructure, or subframe to ensure stability. This base is typically composed of posts, beams, joists, and footings. The frame's joists can be built from various materials like composite, plastic, timber, or metal, as long as the base can support the deck's weight without shifting. A professional deck builder might recommend installing the frame on a solid concrete base for added durability. The final design and materials for the substructure will depend on your budget, the type of deck, and environmental conditions.
