George (Jorge) was exactly on time when he came for the estimate.  He recommended a paint brand that was very nice (Sherwin Williams Cashmere) and carefully documented the areas of work.  His estimate was right in line with what I was expecting.  He set a start date of the 14th. 

A company rep (his son), called the day before to check-in and let me know they would arrive at 7 am.  They were on time, pleasant and professional.  The covered my floors and new carpet an got straight to work.  The house took 2 1/2 days and each day they started exactly at 7 and let me know the plan of the day. They returned a fourth day to paint the deck since it had been raining.

The inside of the house and the deck look brand new!!  They paid attention to detail, filed all nail holes, and always let me know where they were in project.  I could not be happier with the great work they did.  I am very picky, but could only find 2 small areas that needed touch-ups.

The crew also helped me move an old love seat and set-up my new table.  I was so relieved because I had no idea how I was going to do it.  They were so helpful.

This a family company with great employees and I am so happy I found them!!  I would definitely recommend them and hire them again!!!

"Howard was very processional and very nice to work with. He explained the process of how to clean and stain our deck. He came on two different days to power wash the deck and to stain the deck. Great price from the Big Deal. We really like the finish of the deck. Howard also did a great job installing two bike racks on concrete walls.

"Crazy hard to schedule-no less than 10 emails back and forth. When finally scheduled both jobs were done as scheduled, except the leaf removal person showed up to clean my gutters! Both jobs were performed satisfactorily, but I feel the leaf removal should include blowing off the deck and actually REMOVING the leaves and not wanting to leave the bags for me. The person did remove them for me since I had had the scheduling issues...much appreciated.
The main reason I couldn't give them a better rating was due to the scheduling personnel.

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Composite decking is the best material for individuals living with disabilities who want to age in place. The material is anti-slip, which increases safety throughout the year. It’s also highly durable and requires minimal maintenance, so it doesn’t add another item to the individual’s to-do list. It’s also a good option for improving wheelchair accessibility at home, as it can easily manage a wheelchair ramp.

A deck is typically attached to a house and accessed via the back door. Decks are usually constructed from wood or composite materials. A terrace, on the other hand, is a raised platform that can be attached to or detached from the house and is typically made from a hard-paved material, such as paving stones. Terraces can be built on the ground or on the roof of a home.

Yes, Ipe is more expensive than Trex decking—both in terms of materials and installation (plus, Ipe trees are endangered). On average, Ipe decking costs $10 to $25 per square foot, while Trex decking costs $5 to $12 per square foot. Because Ipe is harder to work with, the price of installation is higher, too. For Ipe decking, you’ll pay between $20 and $45 per square foot for labor. However, with Trex decking, the labor costs range from $8 to $22 per square foot.

Ideally, a gate should be able to swing both in and out. However, if it can only open in one direction, it is generally best for it to swing inward. This is often the safest option, especially for deck gates near steps, as you'll want the gate to swing away from the stairs. An inward swing also prevents the gate from opening into a public space, like a sidewalk, and can be more convenient when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

There are exceptions, however. The layout of your property may require a different approach. For example, if your property is on a slope, the gate may not be able to swing inward. You should also ensure the gate can open fully without colliding with any objects or blocking access to other areas. For a backyard garden gate where public access isn't a concern, the direction it swings is largely a matter of personal preference. Finally, always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements for which way a gate must swing.

The proper height for a stair riser or deck step is between four and seven inches, with seven inches often considered the most comfortable. Building your stairs to this height ensures a strain-free step position and minimizes the risk of trip and fall injuries. For optimal safety and comfort, especially on deck stairs, a rise of around seven inches should be paired with a tread depth (or run) of at least 10 to 12 inches. While it is possible to design stairs with risers up to 12 inches, this height can be challenging for children, pets, or individuals with mobility issues. Always check with your local building codes, as they may mandate specific dimensions that differ from these general recommendations.
