"I do not live locally, but owned a home in the area that was for sale. There was evidence of an old roof leak that had been repaired on the ceiling in one of the rooms. I needed the work completed quickly since the home had just been put on the market. Jason retuned my call promptly and said he could do the job for me within a few days. I called him on Sunday and he performed the job on Wednesday. He had to use two coats of paint but did not charge more than the original estimate. I paid him via an online app. Which was very convenient for both of us. The home sold in a week. Jason was veryprofessional,polite, and expedient. I highly recommend CMS Home Services to any one in the Lansing area!"

"

We originally found Nyboer through a roof inspection deal on Angie's list in 2014.  They were able to setup the inspection within a week or two and really worked with me on my availability.  We had Nyboer back in 2015 to correct some issues on a home inspection report.  They responded quickly and did an outstanding job!  I found their rates to be very reasonable and the workmanship was very good.  The recent projects they worked on was adding additional brackets and supports to our deck, as well as repairing the foundation of our outdoor A/C compressor unit and leveling it. 

Not only was I pleased with the work of this company, but also felt very safe having them in my home and around my children.  Highly recommend.

"I was very pleased. The worker (Rusty) who performed the job was friendly and all around pleasant. He worked on it non-stop to get the job done in one day and done professionally. I'm very pleased with the workmanship. The gutters were custom made on site and gutter guards were installed as well. I like that it ended up being cheaper than anyone else saving me some extra $$. When he left, there was no mess at all including any signs of the old gutters and hardware."

"Oscar power washed the deck, steps and railings. He arrived on time. Did the work well at a very reasonable price. Based on that good experience I hired him again to clean all the outside windows. Again that work was done very well at the agreed price ."

"MTS did a fantastic job installing the lattice fence around our deck and in reworking our eaves troughs to accommodate our new deck. Their work was to perfection. A great job! Well done! Would definitely recommend them!"

"Can't say enough positive about how this job went or about Darius. The fence looks perfect, he was kind, efficient, and informative with any and every option he thought I may have an opinion on. I would not hesitate to work with case constructs in the future and strongly recommend case constructs to any one looking for a job to be done right."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Be careful when choosing a product to help you remove ice from your wood deck. Never use sand, gravel, or salt, since these items can damage and scratch the wood. Instead, look for chemical de-icers that are marked as safe for wood decks or use hot water to melt snow and ice.

A wood deck requires annual cleaning and regular inspections for loose or broken boards, nails, and screws. It should be refinished by applying a stain or sealer every two to three years to protect the wood from water damage, rot, mildew, and sun fading. The exact frequency can depend on the climate and the deck's exposure to sun and moisture. If your deck is painted, it will need repainting approximately every 10 years. Signs that your deck needs refinishing include faded, splintering, or warping boards.

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.

While eco-friendly decking, also called composite decking, is a win for the environment because it consists of recycled materials, it has trade-offs. These sustainable options often come with steeper price tags, lack natural wood's warm look, and can become uncomfortably hot under full sun. Some composite materials can also become slick when wet, posing a potential hazard.

The best direction for a gate to swing depends on its location and purpose, but swinging inward is the general rule. An inward swing is often considered safer, prevents the gate from opening into public spaces like a sidewalk, and may be required by local building codes.

There are exceptions and specific considerations. If your property is on a slope, an inward swing might not be possible. For a deck gate, it's safest to have it swing away from any steps. In a backyard, the direction can be a matter of preference, though an inward swing can be helpful when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

Regardless of direction, ensure the gate can open fully without hitting any objects or blocking spaces. While an inward swing is standard, a gate that can swing both in and out offers the most flexibility if your setup allows for it.
