"Much to expensive for the minor repair needed. Only had to mud three sides since the 4th was the floor. I had even spoken to the manager prior to purchasing the 4 hours because I wasn't sure it would take all 4 hours. He assured me I would receive my money back if there was additional money left over and that upon explaining the job it would take two trips so the mud could dry and 2 hours per trip seemed easily doable. I was very disappointed that we work too more than 4 hours total. Again, no painting was included.

"Mr. Davis responded quickly to our request for drywall and insulation restoration work after our basement flooded, and even though our original start date was postponed by a major snowstorm, he kept us informed. Once started, the work proceeded on schedule and was of very high quality. Working with Mr. Davis and his team was straightforward. Changes and requests were accepted and handled smoothly even as we extended the scope of the job as it went along."

"If anyone is in need of any type of deck work I highly recommend Mr. Frank Oliva and his Deck Solutions Team at 301-792-1117. They recently restored my deck expertly and was very pleased with every aspect of their work, (reviewing products, installation, pricing and warranty). They were extremely courteous, responsive, punctual and professional!"

"I purchased a coupon for 3 hours of handyman services at a discount (additional time was paid at the regular hourly rate, which was comparable to or lower than the other services I received estimates from). Scheduling was easy - they were flexible on dates and had availability when we needed it (they were able to get someone out quicker than several others I called, which was important as we were preparing for a special event). The quality of the work was excellent. The handyman was very pleasant and professional. He arrived right on time and assessed the work to be done and came up with a shopping list. My one concern was the amount of time it took to shop for supplies - the Home Depot is 10-15 minutes from our house, but he was gone for close to 2 hours picking up the supplies - so the better part of the 3 hours we purchased in advance was consumed in shopping. I got worried that perhaps he was lost or having some difficulty so I called the office - they checked on him and indicated that he had to wait for a pallet of lattice to be brought in. It still seemed like a long time given that the shopping list was relatively small. The deck was a bigger job than I thought - he took time and care measuring, cutting and fitting the lattice to do the job correctly, which I appreciated. As a result of the extended shopping time and the size of the deck job, the work took substantially longer than anticipated, which meant it cost much more than expected. I recognize that this was partly due to the scope being larger than I thought, which I have no problem with - but the duration of the shopping trip honestly left me feeling like I did not get the full value of the coupon. In addition to the labor, I received an itemized receipt for the supplies. I had a couple of questions, which they quickly responded to. They removed the charge for an item that was purchased but not used. They were very professional and easy to work with. I would definitely recommend them and I would definitely use them again, although I would try to purchase supplies in advance if possible.

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Composite decking might cost more upfront, but it delivers value in terms of durability. Unlike wood, composite material resists common deck problems such as rotting, fading, warping, and all the other things you don’t want a deck to do. The extra processes lead to a higher price tag, but you’ll save big in maintenance costs down the road.

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.

As with patios, there are many types of deck choices to choose from to add personalization to your home. Some common deck options include:

  • Attached decks are anchored to the home and include simple ground-level options or multi-level structures with stairways and separate landings. 

  • Detached island decks are not attached to the home; they’re a freestanding structure in the yard. 

  • Wraparound decks connect the back of the house with at least one other side and often are built with railings for safety. 

  • Multi-level decks connect your deck through varying levels of elevation, featuring landings that are attached to stairs.

Pavers are a great decking option for pools. They’re customizable, come in a variety of shapes, sizes, colors, textures, materials, and price points, and they’re slip-resistant. Concrete pool decks, on the other hand, are harder to repair and replace if damaged and aren’t as slip-resistant as most paver materials. However, not all pavers are equal in terms of durability, maintenance, and performance. Pavers also have their own cons that may encourage homeowners to opt for stamped concrete instead, such as higher upfront costs.

The choice between Trex, a brand of composite decking, and PVC decking depends on your priorities regarding budget, appearance, and environmental impact. Both materials are durable and resistant to moisture and insects. Trex is often considered more eco-friendly because it contains recycled wood and plastic and is 25% recyclable, while PVC is fully synthetic and harder to recycle. Aesthetically, Trex is designed to look more like real wood, whereas PVC often has a glossier, more plastic-like finish. In terms of cost, Trex is typically less expensive than PVC.
