"What a great experience! Bill kept us in the loop throughout the whole job explaining each step and where he was at each day until complete. We had new porch posts and railing installed along with our deck power washed, sanded and repainted and other areas on the house repainted. His work is impeccable and we would definitely hire him again. In fact, our neighbors were so impressed with his work they intend to hire him also!! Thx you Bill"

"Hired this contractor after our original contractor completely failed to perform the restoration of our deck and repainting as hired. Kris came out and quoted the work and then went above and beyond to ensure the work got done on time. When we found more wood replacement than originally expected was necessary he got that handled quickly as well. All around great experience."

I could not have been more pleased with a business.  What was done?  Well, here's the list:

  1. 1.  Repaired all marred walls and fixed cracks and holes.
  2. 2.  Covered everything to keep paint and primer off our belongings.
  3. 3.  Sanded all rough areas to a smooth finish.
  4. 4.  Professionally primed everything.
  5. 5.  Professionally painted everything.
  6. 6.  Cleaned up daily.
  7. 7.  Removed all painting materials from our property when finished.

I cannot say enough about the excellent quality of the job which was done.  Changing the woodwork, doors, and stairway spindles from a dark brown to antique white was quite a job.  It took a few days, but it was worth the awesome results. 

The guys (painting crew & owner) were very accommodating to my husband and me.  If we saw something to fix, it was done.  They were always pleasant.  I would hire them again in a heartbeat if I ever need something else painted.

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Yes, using sustainable materials and recycled composites offer green solutions.

Deck boards should be spaced no more than three-eighths of an inch apart. This is enough space to allow water and small debris to pass through without collecting on the surface, but not enough to create a tripping hazard. Certain materials, like pressure-treated wood, shrink over time, so they may need less space at installation.

Most building codes require that spindles or balusters on deck and stair railings be spaced no more than four inches apart. This safety standard, often called the '4-inch sphere rule,' is designed to prevent small children or pets from slipping through the railing. A good way to visualize this is that a 4-inch sphere should not be able to pass between two spindles. For the same safety reason, the space between the bottom rail and the deck floor should also be no more than four inches. As a general guideline, professionals often install three balusters per foot of railing. However, since specific requirements can vary by location, it is crucial to check your local building codes to ensure compliance before starting your project.

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.

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.
