"when i was quoted the price over the phone I thought it was a little high. the siding was very dirty and had moss growing on it as it had not been cleaned in 20 years. she worked all day and the results were excellent. she was also very careful with the old siding and repaired anything that came apart in the process. I would us her again."

"I hired Kevin Tackett to build a pantry in my laundry room. He’s an excellent builder and knew all of the measurements and door sizes in his head. He built a closet to enclose a hot water heater and to house vacuums and ladders. Then built a pantry next to it where there was once a Formica covered lower cabinet. He hung shelves over the washer and dryer. It turned out really well. He showed up every day to work until the project was finished, even while doing other jobs. He’s a very hard worker. The final paint job wasn’t what I expected so that’s not his area of expertise. I do highly recommend him for remodeling projects like this. Just make sure he brings in painters for the finish!"

"Douglas Bush and his crew, Warren and Randy, did an excellent job.  They did everything that was quoted in the price and came back the following day to complete the job.  All three were very professional and courteous.  They were not even annoyed by all the questions I had as they completed the work.
Warren repaired a bungled gutter job that some other folks did that I hired.  He came in and fixed everything including adding some pieces and two additional down sprouts.
Doug and Randy did a great job installing the french drain so that water can run from my backyard down the side slope of my home to the street.  Once the dirt settles, I will be getting them back to add some dirt and level the yard.  I am pleased with the results because it will keep the water from settling in my back yard and around my foundation.

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

The problems with composite decking include a high rate of expansion and contraction from temperature swings. This characteristic can cause boards to split, delaminate, or peel. In addition, significant movement can cause shrinking, warping, twisting, and bending. For this reason, you should minimize moisture and ensure proper airflow below your deck.

Liquid rubber is great for waterproofing, but it can damage your deck if it’s not applied correctly. First, it can trap moisture in the wood if the deck isn’t completely dry before application.  Second, applying it too thickly can create a heavy, rubbery surface layer that peels and cracks under fluctuating temperatures. For the best results, ensure the wood is completely dry before application, and apply the liquid rubber in thin, even coats. A quick inspection every now and then will help you catch any issues early, keeping your deck protected and looking its best.

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.

Ultimately, overapplication of stain can compromise the deck's appearance, durability, and longevity. It may result in an uneven finish, with excess stain pooling, dripping, or drying into thick patches. It can also obscure the wood's natural grain and texture, detracting from the desired aesthetic. Moreover, excessive staining may not fully penetrate the wood, leading to poor adhesion and premature wear. Additionally, thick layers of stain are prone to peeling, cracking, and blistering as they struggle to bond with the surface. 

While the terms deck and porch are often used interchangeably, they are two distinct structures. A porch is a covered structure, usually attached to the front of a home, that offers protection from the elements. In contrast, a deck is an open, uncovered platform, often attached to the back or side of a home. Because porches have a roof, they typically require less maintenance than decks, but both features need regular cleaning and repairs to stay in good condition.
