"Dave & Mark where terrific. They often discussed what they should do to make the changes to our kitchen look like they where always part of the design. Plus kept us in the loop at all times. We kept our existing cabinets, removed an ancient built in oven, replaced the cooktop with a full range, replaced the sink and countertops. The old counter was linoleum over wood, so they had to build up and reinforce the tops for new granite counters. They added molding, which was stained to match the existing wood, and it looks as if it was always there. I can not find enough words to express how great a job they did. You can be assured he will be my first call if/when we start another project. Dave also recommended the electrician & plumber we used. The electrician, Brian Cormier ended up having to upgrade our service and we will use him again if needed. ABH plumbing didnâ t have much to do, but Tony was professional and did a thorough job."

"Flowers Garden Services did a fine job cleaning our gutters. Marisol and Oscar, the owners, showed up right away, gave us a fair quote, and returned in two days to do the job. I will use them again for gutter cleaning and other household services they perform."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

It is possible to pressure wash your deck, but it’s usually best to leave the work to a professional for two main reasons. First, power washers are expensive, and you can avoid high upfront costs by hiring a deck washing pro instead. Second, you must be careful to use the correct setting to avoid damaging your deck material. You can only clean soft woods like pine with a wide spray and a low pressure; otherwise, the water will leave unpleasant marks on your deck. Hard woods, composite material, and metal can stand up to increasingly higher water pressures.

Composite decking requires a solid foundation or substructure for support. This base is typically a frame composed of posts, beams, joists, and footings. The frame can be built from various materials, such as composite, plastic, timber, or metal, depending on your budget, deck type, and environmental conditions. For maximum stability, a professional deck builder may recommend installing this frame on top of a solid concrete base. It is best to discuss the most suitable substructure design and materials for your specific project with a professional.

Yes, adding a composite deck, such as one made from Trex, can significantly increase your home's value. It is a valuable home renovation for recouping costs, with some estimates for return on investment (ROI) ranging between 60% and 70%. More recently, Remodeling's 2024 Cost vs. Value Report suggests a deck addition has an ROI of 82.9%, with an average resale value of nearly $14,600. A new deck makes your yard more functional, enhances the landscape's aesthetic, and can entice prospective buyers. The investment may have a higher return if the deck adds usable square footage to the property.

Both deck footings and deck posts help prop up your deck. However, footings are the bottommost parts of a deck that touch the ground. They’re usually made of concrete. Posts are pieces of wood that attach to the top of the footings with brackets. They run upwards and connect to the underside of your deck to support its weight.

The best time to paint your deck is when temperatures are neither too cold (below 60 degrees) nor too hot (above 85 degrees). Always paint your deck when there’s no risk of rain. For fast-drying paint like acrylic or latex, ensure your deck can dry for at least four hours. Oil-based paints take longer to dry and may require 48 hours to completely cure.
