"Iâ m looking for a certain look for a deck. They only showed basic decks, but nothing that was to my liking. It was like an Amway presentation! More on how great their company is and not having enough variety of choices on designs. The salespersons was professional and kind."

"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."

"Really enjoyed the interaction with Jake and his brother, the work crew. Home Depot goofed up the first paint color, but we decided to do two coats, so the goofed up color worked as a good base to the final color. Have mixed reviews on whether the roof leaks a bit more by the clear panels now, but we would call this company to fix the issue if we identify any problem."

"Outstanding. Rick and his team did an amazing job. They communicated through out the whole process. Finished on time even with a humidity challenge, not their fault. The baseboards looked amazing, and you couldn't even see where the walls needed repaired."

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 Repair questions, answered by experts

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.

Building a deck without a permit could lead to fines for both the homeowner and the contractor. The exact penalties will depend on your state and municipal building laws. You might also be required to remove the deck and apply for a permit before you can build another. While it might be tempting to skip the permit to save a few bucks, it’ll cost you much more if you’re caught.

Pressure-treated decks last 15 to 20 years on average, but with proper maintenance, you could get 40 to 50 years of value from yours. Reseal your deck every one to two years, and replace old or rotted wood as soon as possible to avoid structural damage. Where you live plays a role in the lifespan of your deck. Intense sunlight, rainfall, wind, and hail can reduce the deck’s lifespan.

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.

That depends on the condition of your deck. An older deck that looks drab, worn, or has multiple damaged boards might be worth replacing before selling. However, if your deck is in good condition, you can simply clean, repaint, or stain it.
