"Our experience with New Leaf Construction in December led us back to hiring them again for a few additional projects we wanted completed outside this spring. The remodel of our firm over the winter was very successful and it was a pleasure to work with their crew. Their professionalism showed throughout the entirety of the project, from the quality of their work, sensitivity to our timeline, accommodating the needs of our business with as little interruption as possible, cleanliness of their work area, attention to detail, and staying on budget. I highly recommend New Leaf Construction."

"These guys were very skilled and thorough in their workmanship. We had a nice give and take with them about the best design details for our kitchen. Unexpectedly we learned that our outside walls are basically styrofoam with very few studs. They were able to resolve this construction problem creatively. Although the cabinet design from Home Depot was inaccurate, they were able to adjust that design so that we could use the cabinets which had already been purchased. We will definitely be hiring them for future work."

"Zack, Breezy and their colleagues are absolutely the BEST at what they do. We live 5 hours away and needed someone that we could trust to look after our Airbnb investment. Having a good property manager is insanely important. Carlow Property Management took care of everything, including marketing, upkeep of the house and yard, dealing with issues (appliances dying,etc), taking our lakeside dock out, and they did it all in a timely, proactive manner. Their communication has been excellent. Also, they have a phenomenal network of resources that helped us get jobs and repairs done quickly, properly, and affordable. Zack, Breezy and their team made this an effortless and head-ache free adventure for us. A good property manager is hard to find, a great one is almost impossible. Carlow Property Management is truly great. If you can use them...do it, you won't regret it!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

While the terms deck and porch are often used interchangeably, they are two distinct home features. Porches offer a roof that protects from the elements when coming and going from the house. Generally, porches are on the front of your home. On the other hand, decks are generally built in the backyard of a home and offer no roof or protection from the elements, like rain or snow. Porches typically require less maintenance and upkeep thanks to the roof, but both features require regular cleaning and repairs to maintain good condition.

An enclosed porch can be considered a living space if it meets certain criteria. For instance, it must be completely enclosed with solid walls and a roof. It should also have a heating and cooling source similar to the rest of the home. Finally, the porch should have direct access to and from the interior of your house.

Ipe wood can last up to 75 years with minimal maintenance because its own oils help to preserve it. However, to get the most out of your Ipe wood deck, you should perform some routine maintenance, including regular cleaning, sweeping of leaves and debris, and rinsing spills with a hose. It’s also important to repair any deep scratches as soon as you spot them and reseal the deck annually to protect against scratches and scuffs.

Although composite decking is extremely durable, it’s also susceptible to extreme heat. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause fading, warping, and cracking. Composite also retains heat more than wood, which makes it dangerous to walk on in the summer. You can help prevent heat damage by only building with composite in shaded areas or using rugs to cover the hottest spots.

Composite decking may never warp, or it may warp quickly. Several factors can influence the rate of warping, including the material's quality, installation method, and installation location. Generally speaking, high-quality materials that have been installed properly are drastically less prone to warping.
