"All this in a matter of a few shorts weeks, not months. 
Then when everything was said and done and Deck Cetera had already been paid all of their money the front door was damaged and they came out in record time and repair it. 
I would recommend Deck Cetera to anyone and everyone.  In fact we did on Memorial Day, anyone who wanted to know we told them.  That?s Deck Cetera you all.  Thanks Deck Cetera for making a big project pain free for us.  You rock!!!

"Vince called me back within hours of my sending him a message through Angie's List.  Even though he does not list Montgomery County as one of his service areas, he was completely willing to help us out.  In my message, I had requested the work to be done onsite but Vince explained why having him pick up the generator and take it back to his shop to work on it would make more sense.  His charge for pick-up and delivery back to us was only $34.95.
When Vince came to pick up the generator, he was on time and was able to give me a ballpark cost for the work (which turned out to be very accurate).  He said that he could get it back to us in 3-4 days but I asked if he could do it faster as there was a snow storm predicted for the next day or so.  Vince agreed to a shorter time line and ultimately got the generator back to us within 1 day!  There ended up being no snow storm but we got our generator back in working condition - along with a booklet of care instructions, a copy of our invoice, and a service history form.  A few days later we received a hand-written Thank You card in appreciation of our business.  I can't imagine how the service could have been any better.  We will use Vince for any future small engine repairs/maintenance we have and highly recommend him and his services.

"Painters arrived exactly on time and accomplished all tasks the same day. The manually stripped the deck and applied two coats of stain. They carefully cleaned and then painted the foundation concrete as it had got dirty over the years. They also scraped, caulked and painted a large bump-out window off our living room.

"We would trust Robert and Competitive Painters with any project.  He's not just a painter, he's an artist.  Robert and his team will not allow you to make a design mistake.  They see things with a designer's/artist's eye and make recommendations - then they execute - and the results are elegant and without defects.  Almost all of our interior paint has some custom texture to it that Robert created and applied with tremendous skill leading to glorious one-of-a-kind results.  The staining the've done on our deck and wine cellar was on extremely high quality wood and required great thoughtfulness, care and skill, which brought out the best in our wood.
Beyond that, these guys know how to solve problems, all kinds of them - properly.  They are totally trustworthy and welcome in our
home whether we are here or not.

"Originally contacted Sam and Sons Services from ad in yellow pages to fix bath tub faucet mechanism that did not allow water to fully come out of faucent, only shower head.  S&S tech said I had to replace the whole faucet and he could not replace just the mechanism.  Hhhmm.  (Ding). The color I had was bronze; he only had chrome.  Hhhhmmm.   (Ding).   S&S charged $302 for just the bath tub faucet part.  Hhhhmmm.   (Ding).  Online research afterward revealed that full bath tub faucet, handles, and shower heads run between $100-$467.  The model S&S sold me was towards the lower end $150, which was fine but I would have liked to be charged that without mark up and pay for the straight labor.  Moreoever, S&S only gave me the tub faucet when the price suggested I paid for shower head and handle too.  Hhhmmm. (Ding).   Tech was very courteous and professional: he identified an out of code bath tub pipe that was plastic that should have been copper.  He replaced and cut me a break with half-price labor, which I liked but kind of confused me with I got jipped on the tub faucet part.  He gave me very clear explanations of how to monitor plumbing pipes for tub that are plastic (hot and cold water from main copper pipe that he replaced).  His tightening of the kitchen sink faucet was flawless.  Bottom-line: didn't like the mark up on parts that corporate office forced on tech (he presented a notebook with corp office's prices).  Unlikely that I will use again, which disappointed me because S&S seems to do various work (electrical, plumbing, handyman work, etc) and I was hoping to find a one-stop shop for my home maintenance needs."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

A cedar deck can increase your home's value if the project is executed well. The value added by a deck is influenced by factors such as location, materials, and craftsmanship. In regions with warmer climates, decks are particularly desirable, enhancing outdoor living spaces.

The key to getting the most value out of your investment, both in terms of home value and personal enjoyment, is to make sure your deck is built to exacting standards. You should consult with a professional deck builder to get the best results and the highest ROI.

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. 

Applying too much sealer to a deck might seem like extra protection, but it can cause more harm than good. Wood is a porous material with a limited capacity to absorb liquids. When you go overboard with sealer, the excess can't soak in and instead forms a film on the surface. This leftover layer is prone to peeling, cracking, and trapping moisture, ultimately defeating the purpose of sealing in the first place. 

To prepare a deck for a hot tub, start by thinking about safe and easy access in and out of the tub. Homeowners should plan for steps or consider built-in seating, a level surface around the perimeter, and a clear, slip-resistant path from the house. A hot tub requires sufficient space around it for comfortable entry and exit, ensuring no awkward squeezing or stepping over high edges. Good lighting and handrails can also make a big difference, especially for nighttime use.

Choosing whether your deck should be lighter or darker than your house is a matter of personal preference, as there is no right or wrong answer. However, considering the pros and cons of each can help guide your decision. Darker colors are often chosen because they show less dirt, footprints, and marks from daily wear, making them easier to keep clean. On the other hand, lighter deck colors tend to stay cooler in the summer. From a design perspective, using a deck color that contrasts with your home's exterior can help make the deck a more defined and distinct feature. Consulting color theory can also make the process of choosing a complementary house and deck color combination easier.
