Todd P. is an independent contractor who works for Blue Water Pools in Port Huron, Michigan. Blue Water Pools provided us with his phone number when we wanted a pool liner installed. Blue Water Pools gave us a price of $450.00-500.00 to have our own liner installed. We contacted Todd and he gave us a price of $775.00 because "the pool was next to a deck". Keep in mind this was an installation of our OWN liner we had purchased online and was for Todd P's labor only!. He said He decides the price on his work, NOT Blue Water Pools. His price was considerably higher than what the store had quoted us and we told Todd this and he said that he would also hook up the PVC pipes to our swimming pool and Blue Water would take care of the Hayward Heater repair which we also needed done (as he didn't do heaters). He never did the job correctly. First, he said our liner we purchased online wouldn't work, even though the box said it was the right size, and we did end up having to return it and purchased a $530.00 liner from Blue Water Pools, which we had to go pick up at their store. After he installed the liner he left our home. The next day he sent a few young boys out to complete the job of hooking up the pipes. Since the water level in the pool was not to the point where the pump could be turned on and the pipes checked for leaks, one of the boys collected the money and signed a hand-written (by us) receipt and said that if there were any leaks that Todd would come back and fix the leaks. These details were also written out on the receipt WE had provided, (since I have a hard time just paying out nearly $800.00 in cash and not even have any sort of proof of it: hence, our hand written receipt). There were 5 leaks (2 due to gaskets, 3 just not tightened enough) and we contacted Todd to let him know. He sent 4 boys to supposedly fix the leaks, however, when they came they said they didn't have the parts ( $2.00 gaskets) on their truck to complete the job. If Todd knew there were leaks, why did he not send the boys with the parts they needed to fix them? I had even texted him before they came, took pictures of the leaks and told him what we probably needed (O-rings/gaskets). I called Todd several times and he finally got back to me, basically stating that he only does liners and this wasn't his problem. In other words, reneging on his original verbal agreement when giving us the original job quote. All of this after we paid him $775.00, $275.00 of this was to hook-up the pipes which he did not do. Also, we never received a receipt from him after he said he would mail our receipt to us. Maybe he takes all his money "under the table" and that's the reason for no receipt; BTW, when I first met him I asked if he was licensed, and he said he was, which I seriously doubt after all this.
Blue Water Pools gave us a price of $450-$500 to install the liner. Their installer Todd charged $785.00 and agreed to hook up our PVC pipes and he did not do this properly. We had to pay another company to do what we paid him to do. Money is hard to come by, when you are on a fixed income. All I can say to myself is live and learn!!!

Of course the pipes blew out shortly after the installation of the solar heater draining our new pool in the middle of the night. When a call was made to Viscount that morning they told us that they installed the solar heater as a courtesy and that they would not stand behind the installation. What I learned after having another pool company come out and repaired the solar heater hook up, is that you "never" use electrical tape with water! Viscount used electrical tape because they used the wrong size piping. We had to purchase all new piping, connectors and adapter to properly install the solar heater.

"Nick at Hometime Construction promptly came out to assess our gutter project and then gave us a fair estimate. He was kind, knowledgeable and knew exactly what to do and how to do it. Within an acceptable amount of time Nick and Jeremiah came out and replaced a large section of damaged gutter and beautifully cleaned and “straightened up”gutter that was disheveled and debris filled and then also dug 2 trenches with pop ups for drainage. They did a complete job; paying attention to detail and then also cleaning up with disposal of debris. We couldn’t be more pleased with the results we got using Hometime Construction. We will definitely call them again for the next project. Great experience for us. "

"TimberRidge Pro did a fine job on our master bath renovation . AJ was great at offering ideas and suggestions for products to use. He actually met us at Home Depot to help us make choices! That was VERY impressive! He began our job 2 weeks early (what contractor does that?) and had all of our products ready to go. He covered all of the areas leading to the bathroom and kept the job site neat and clean. That is also a biggie, because many contractors and their helpers leave messes! Not TimberRidge Pro! They clean up their worksites as if they were their own homes. After 6 days, we had a new entire shower, vanity with lighted mirror, sink and quartz sinktop, new luxury vinyl flooring, all new lighting, a plumbing problem from the old shower resolved, a new access panel to the shower installed, and the bathroom painted nicely. We had an issue with the glass shower door. It came in defective from the supplier. AJ obtained a new shower door that was much sturdier, tore out the bad one and replaced it with a much better door. (We split the cost of the upgraded glass door). AJ honored all of the line items in our contract and totally took care of some minor things on our punch list with ease. His price was reasonable and our new master bath looks amazing! We would highly recommend TimberRidge Pro for your next bathroom project and we would certainly use this contractor again!"

FAQs for deck repair projects in Elmira, MI
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.
There are a few ways to make your deck look new without professional power washing. First, you can use either store-bought cleaners or dish soap and water to mop your deck regularly to clean off accumulated dirt. To clean your deck and remove mold, mix two gallons of warm water with a ½ cup of distilled white vinegar or apple cider vinegar, rinse the area, and then scrub with a stiff-bristled broom.
For an average deck of about 300 square feet, you can expect to pay around $100. However, if you have a spacious 1,000-square-foot deck or more, expect that cost to be closer to $300 to $400. Likewise, if it’s been a long time since you deep cleaned your deck, the deck professional might need extra time and to use deck-specific detergent, which will increase the overall cost.
You should have your deck professionally cleaned twice a year—once in the spring and once in the fall. A springtime cleaning wipes away grime and mold that accumulated during the wet winter months, making it sparkly clean for summer use. Likewise, cleaning your deck in the fall allows you to wash away grease and leftover mess from the fun summer months rather than letting them soak into your deck over the winter.
The cost to build a deck is $8,025 on average. However, this cost can range anywhere from $1,500 to $22,000, depending on multiple factors, such as size, materials, and deck type. You can expect to pay $30 to $60 per square foot when building a new deck.
Cedar decks are often the most cost-effective option, ranging from $4 to $9per square foot for materials. However, pressure-treated decking, which is resistant to rot, is more expensive, ranging from $15 to $25 per square foot for materials.
