"I can't speak highly enough about this company. When I called to arrange an on site visit for an estimate, they showed up on time and listened to everything I had to say about the job. I was given a written quote on the spot (something I rarely see from contractors), so I offered them the job. To my surprise, he said he could get started the very next day (a Saturday) and that they would be able to finish the following Monday when the deck had dried off. They arrived to start the job when they said they would, and got to work right away. I was concerned I would need to move the stuff we have on the decks, but they told me they could simply move them to the side and then move them back when they were done. They did exactly that, and everything was put back to its original position when they were finished. They were power washing all day, and were very thorough. When they came back two days later, they again went to work right away rebuilding the stairs and water sealing the deck. The stairs look great! They even added a step so the bottom step could sit more securely on the concrete (it had been resting on a cinder block before being rebuilt). They advised to wait 1-2 days for the water sealer to dry before using the decks, we paid them, and they did a great job cleaning up when they left. I wish all contractors we hired were as efficient and straightforward as the people working at Melvin Power Wash. I will absolutely call on them again when my decks need maintenance, or if my house needs a wash."

"Brian was responsive in scheduling a deck estimate and providing a written estimate within 10 days, letting me know ahead of time when to expect it. The estimate was very reasonable compared to other contractor estimates. The project involved removing timber from an existing upper deck, 12x14, replacing with composite decking and adding railings, replacing the 12 stairs and stringers, adding railings, and removing the timber and rebuilding the lower deck frame and adding composite decking lower 12x14 deck. Initially, he expected a later fall installation but was able to start immediately after Labor Day The weather was perfect and favorable without any weather related delays. His guys Josh and Hunter arrived at 7:30 and worked till about 3:30 daily, and cleaned up daily, and let us know what to expect as the project progressed. Initially, the estimate was about two weeks but these Josh and Hunter worked their magic in 6.5 days! All demolished materials were removed and the decks and stairs are gorgeous! I really appreciated their hard work and effort to finish the project quickly. The workers were friendly, courteous and professional. Brian offered design suggestions and communicated throughout the project (whether in person or by text) which was especially appreciated to coordinate the relocation of the hot tub with another contractor both on the front and back end of the project. We look forward to years ahead of enjoying low maintenance decks. I would definitely reach out to Brian for any future projects we might have. We were very pleased with his companyâ s work product."

"We were exceedingly pleased with Durable Remodeling from the day we signed the contract with Dean and throughout the entire project. Dean and his team were consistently accessible, punctual, and professional. The work performed by Rick and Ben was of the highest quality, and the deck construction and cedar shingle replacement was completed in a very reasonable time frame, four weeks. We are thoroughly enjoying relaxing on our new deck and would highly recommend Durable Remodeling."

"This past winter, my vinyl pool wall started to cave in, due to rusting of the support structure. I placed calls to 17 different construction & pool repair companies, and Ranieri Construction were the ONLY ones that were willing to roll up their sleeves and take on the repair job (everyone else just seemed to want to sell me an entire new pool!). Louis and his family were amazing from start to finish. They are very skilled - from excavating the old deck, ratcheting back the pool walls, and pouring the new footings & deck, they clearly knew what they were doing, and the finished product is great. Louis was very attentive to detail. They spent time with me to explain the work that needed to be done, always stayed in touch with what was going on, were very careful to respect the property and always cleaned up. Even though it wasn't in our contract, Louis even offered to fill in gaps between my pool coping and deck all the way around the pool as a preventative measure so that I wouldn't have an issue with the other pool walls in the future. In short, I couldn't be more happy with Ranieri Construction - they are a great family business, and I wouldn't hesitate for a second to use them for any new projects down the road."

"Hire this company! Seriously.? If I could give Bright Painting and the specific crew of workers who worked on our house an A+++ rating, I would.? Before we hired Bright Painting, we met with 3 other painting contractors.? While Bright Painting did not give us the lowest bid, we were convinced by?owner Celso Oliveira that the extensive preparation they would do on our 100+ year old house before even beginning to paint, and then the paint job itself, would make it well worth the extra money.? Plus, Celso was willing to compromise his initial bid somewhat?so that sealed the deal for us. From the day the crew of Wilson, Elias, Juan and Francis arrived and began their prep work, I was impressed and pleased.? In addition to doing incredibly careful, thorough, skillful, and yes, extensive?work, they were, and continued to be throughout the entire job, the nicest, most pleasant, and most responsible crew of people I have ever had work on?our house?(and there have been many over the 16 years we've owned this old house.)? As for the painting itself, they took the time and care needed to paint perfectly the many house details, like the dentil molding and various other moldings,?the window sashes, the storm windows, and the trim, to name some.? They never cut corners and always addressed, in a manner that never made me feel I was asking too much, any concern I had.? And, I can't say enough good things about Celso and his son, Arthur.? Despite the fact that the job ended up taking longer then they anticipated, I never felt that they were rushing the crew to move faster and move on.? As a homeowner who wanted the job done well from A to Z, I really, really appreciated that.? Oh, and Celso and Arthur are also?extremely nice people and great to work with.?So, I'll end this review exactly where I started it and say simply - HIRE THIS COMPANY!!. **UPDATE** I just had to update my review because Bright Painting continues to be an outstanding company providing unbelievable service. When they finished painting in November, 2015, they weren't able to stain the porch deck and stairs because it had gotten too cold for the stain to dry and cure properly. They promised to return in the spring and agreed we should hold back a portion of the money we owed them. Arthur contacted me in the spring and we scheduled the work. Unfortunately, it was extraordinarily windy on the day Wilson did the work and alot of leaves and pollen messed up the stairs. Arthur sent Wilson back to touch up the stairs on July 12, but when Wilson tried to do it, he wasn't satisfied with how it looked. He contacted Arthur who had him re-sand and re-stain the entire front porch and stairs to make sure it would look good. This company - the owners and the workers - go above and beyond in a way I have never experienced before in any contractor. They are the best!"

"After first making contact with Ronney, he was on top of things right away. He showed up the same day and we went over work to be completed. Ronney stayed in touch and showed up when he said they would. The cleaning service was remarkable and apartment looks great from top to bottom. I would highly recommend"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Before installing a deck, you must build a base for the deck to rest upon, often made of compacted soil or gravel. While gravel is an optional material, it helps with drainage. Some contractors also recommend installing a weed control membrane, which helps provide a solid foundation for the frame. In the case of an elevated deck, a pro will often lay down a concrete slab as a foundation. 

No, your deck will not rot under artificial grass as long as it is installed properly. When installed correctly, the artificial grass features a drainage system that prevents rotting. Simply laying artificial grass on top of the decking without proper installation will not lead to an effective drainage system that prevents rotting.

Finding a reputable deck builder should start with speaking with a local company and asking for samples of past work and references. You can review the company’s workmanship and speak with past customers to learn what the customer service was like throughout the process. It’s also a good idea to read online reviews and check the Better Business Bureau (BBB) website to see if the company has a history of customer complaints. If you can get a referral from a family member or friend, that’s another great option.

The cost to repair a deck is between $900 and $3,500, depending on the cause and extent of the damage. For example, fixing a sinking deck caused by pest damage can cost between $200 and $600, while replacing sinking boards costs between $500 and $4,000.

Deck stairs should have at least three stringers rather than two. The recommended minimum width for stairs is 36 inches, and the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors recommends at least three cut stringers to provide sufficient support on wood decking stairs of this width. Generally, stringers should be a maximum of 16 inches apart for wood decking and 12 inches apart for more flexible composite decking.
