"Should have seen the red flags. Needed gutters replaced, gutter helmet, some facia, attic vent, some repair where new and old roof meet. Salesperson rescheduled 3 times. Felt rushed to make decision that day. Was told 2 to 4 weeks. After 4 weeks was told 6 to 8 weeks. We kept calling. Was 6 months when crew came out. Noticed gutter helmet being wrong color. Salesperson checked wrong color on order which we didnt know because we were not told the name of the color. She showed us a gutter helmet that matched our shingles but when installed it wasnt the same. Looked silver, not charcoal black/gray. Halfway through installing, had an area on gutter leaking. Donavan put caulk where leaking. Next rain, still leaking. Donavan put more caulking. Next rain, still leaking. Donavan came out another time and replaced corner gutter piece. Half hour after he left, started raining. Still leaking, but worse. We looked closer at installation of gutter and noticed corner piece lower than gutter on each side. And gutters did not have a gradual slope to downspout. Water puddling in corner. We've contacted Donavan 3 times and was told he would replace this section. He still hasn't fixed this. We've called twice to Tom and left messages with no response. When a woman, Laura called for us to give them a rating for their work, I told her all of the above. She seemed to want to quickly get off the phone with me. She said she would put in a service request. Its been a while and have not heard from anyone. Still have leaking gutter. Hopefully the BBB can help me. Other than this leaking gutter section, no other problems. After filing a complaint they finally came out and fixed it. It just seemed like I had to tell them I would be filing a complaint before they would come out to fix it."

"He gave me a quote and did exactly what he said he was going to do. He was clear about to procedure and what he needed to do. It was nice and clean after the service, I didn't have to do any touch ups or clean ups. I was so happy with the results, I hired him to complete resurface my driveway."

Deck Repair questions, answered by experts

A deck doesn’t have to be perfectly level. Many pros even recommend a gentle slope to ensure proper drainage and increase longevity. The ideal gentle slope is about 1/8 to 1/4 inch per foot away from the property, leading water away from the home to prevent pooling and reduce the risk of damage. It also minimizes rot, mold, and other moisture-related problems. 

It is possible to build your own deck, but it’s typically better to leave the work to a decking professional. Decks can be exceptionally complicated, especially if you want a wrap-around or second-story deck, and you don’t want to risk making an expensive or dangerous mistake. It’s usually better to hire a decking pro who can pull permits and build a structurally sound deck that will last for decades and provide the maximum return on investment.

What goes under your floating deck depends on your preferences. Some homeowners put landscaping fabric underneath their decks to prevent weeds from popping up through the boards. Others choose to build a floating deck over grass or gravel. However, it’s best not to set your deck directly on the ground. Instead, set your deck on blocks to keep it elevated enough to prevent moisture from rotting the wood.

The best and fastest way to remove paint from a deck often involves combining a chemical stripper with a pressure washer. Gel-based paint strippers are highly recommended because their thick consistency makes them less messy and easier to apply than liquid strippers. After applying the stripper to loosen the paint, you can use a pressure washer to efficiently wash away the residue. When using a pressure washer for this task, it's important to use a low pressure (under 1000 PSI) to avoid forcing too much moisture into the wood, which could lead to mildew or rot.

When building an outdoor or deck gate, it's crucial to use durable wood that can withstand harsh weather conditions like sunlight, rain, wind, and snow. Redwood and cedar are excellent choices as they naturally resist decay. While redwood is considered more elegant, cedar is a more affordable option. Other suitable woods include oak and pressure-treated pine, which is specifically treated to resist rot. Although some softwoods like pine are popular, untreated softwoods such as pine and spruce should generally be avoided for outdoor projects because they are susceptible to damage from water, rot, and the sun. Ultimately, it's wise to consider your local climate when selecting the right wood for your gate.
