Customers say: Quick response

"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."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Whether to paint or stain a deck depends on your personal preference for appearance and budget. Stain provides a natural look with a range of undertones, is typically less expensive, and may only require one coat, but it does not last as long as paint. Paint offers a sleeker finish with a virtually unlimited color palette. Both options will protect your deck from outdoor elements like rain, snow, and general wear and tear.

For the best results, stay off of your deck for at least 48 hours after sealing it. Giving the sealant at least two full days to cure ensures it can fully penetrate the wood, giving you the most protection from sun and weather damage later on. Walking on the deck too soon can prevent it from properly curing and cause your deck to weather prematurely.

No, termites do not eat Trex or any other composite decking brand. Termites eat cellulose, of which composite decking like Trex contains very little compared to natural wood. This feature can help justify the higher Trex decking costs if you live in an area with abundant termites.

It is possible to build your own deck, but it’s typically better to leave the work to a decking professional. Decks can be exceptionally complicated, especially if you want a wrap-around or second-story deck, and you don’t want to risk making an expensive or dangerous mistake. It’s usually better to hire a decking pro who can pull permits and build a structurally sound deck that will last for decades and provide the maximum return on investment.

Typically, most residential wooden decks are designed to support approximately 40 pounds per square foot, including the deck’s weight and any items placed on it. While this is fine for typical use, it is usually not enough to hold the weight of a hot tub filled with water and people. To safely support a hot tub, your wood deck will likely require reinforcement. Therefore, it’s best to have a contractor or a structural engineer assess it before hot tub installation.
