A small Construction sole proprietor, shop & office at my home 2 mi north of Mankato. I have been in business 20+ yrs have done all types of construction & willing to take on almost any project. I plan, price, contract, & service all projects with experienced professionals, while being licensed & insured, dependable & honest.

"The room was completed on schedule but they did not complete all of the work the were supposed to do. The bathroom was completed but they installed a piece of the wall covering with a large chip in it and installed the bathroom stool incorrectly that caused it to leak. I contacted Rick many times via text and he responded that he would call to set up a time to correct my problems. He never called me back or tried to contact me."

"Do NOT HIRE this company. I have hired them twice. I should have known better from the first experience. I thought it was an anomaly. Both projects were a disaster. The first project was to paint a small bedroom ceiling. The painters arrived on the first day, left for lunch, and never returned. Two days later, one of the painters showed up unannounced. He sprayed the ceiling poorly and completely ignored spot-treating a water stain, all in the quote. He left for lunch and never returned until the next day. We had to have another company at our home painting the entire main level, and repaint the ceiling to fix the terrible job. We felt like we dodged a bullet. We were planning on having SlaviK complete the whole project. BUT Nick SlaviK's advertising keeps showing up in my mailbox EVERY WEEK! And it's impossible that a company that markets so well could be this successful by performing poor work. I'll try them again. The second job was to enamel the wood trim, windows, four closet doors, and the inside of the bedroom door. I walked through our home and showed the estimator that all the other doors were caulked and enameled--some from the original builder and others from a different painting contractor in the past 2 years. I also retrieved the paint cans with codes for the ceiling paint and enamel previously used at the estimator's request. He took photos of the cans' labels with the paint codes and type. Not that it mattered, but they used what they wanted from another retailer anyway. Unbelievable! Why ask? By the way, we had previously used Benjamin Moore. From the start, things went south. They wanted to get our project on a schedule/calendar, and we agreed on the start date. Then, two or three emails arrived asking to start earlier, and I agreed. Later, they changed it to another day, and finally, another email, and the original day was planned. Nick Slavic Painting did a horrendous job! Be prepared! Inexperienced painters, who I am assuming are told to "get in and get out!" They did not putty nail holes in any of the wood trim. Before I stopped counting, I counted at least 13-14 nail holes in the wood trim. They left unfilled cracks in the wood trim and only sprayed one coat instead of two. One day, standing out on our deck while they were painting the windows, still hung, another first. I've never seen a painter not remove the windows to paint them. I noticed they had missed the entire top of the windows--something I would not have seen until summer, while on the deck above. A company that wants to cash a check and not care if the job was done correctly or not! Get ready for one excuse after another when they start, all the way to the end. And you better not pay them before you are 100% happy. Nick doesn't care! Also, you should expect their painters to stand around for two hours at the end of the day to get their hours logged while doing nothing. Time that could have been spent doing better work! I repeat! DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Similar to how you would care for turf in the yard, you’ll need to make sure you’re staying on top of your deck grass by picking up debris, cleaning up spills as soon as they happen, and giving your turf a monthly brushing with a medium bristle brush to keep it from flattening

The main cause of a rotting porch post is prolonged exposure to moisture. So, the best way to prevent rot is to eliminate and guard against moisture.

  • Use wood caulk to seal any cracks, openings, or areas along the post where water is likely to pool.

  • Secure porch posts into concrete, if possible.

  • Cover wooden posts with protective sleeves or wraps, often made of vinyl.

  • Install metal post anchors for extra support.

A porch roof will be prone to leaking if it suffers damage from extreme weather events, or if it was improperly installed and waterproofed from the get-go. In some cases, a porch roof will be leaky simply because it's at the end of its lifespan and needs to be replaced. Proper maintenance and promptly repairing damage from high winds and hail will help keep your porch roof from leaking.

Cutting the boards directly is one of the fastest ways to remove deck boards with hidden fasteners. Mark two parallel lines that are one-third of the total measurement on both ends and cut out the centerpiece. Then, remove the end of the board that doesn’t have a fastener. Finally, pry open the fastened side and pull it up to pop out the screw or access the fastener. This also allows you to salvage portions of boards for other projects.

Typically, most residential wooden decks are designed to support approximately 40 pounds per square foot, including the deck’s weight and any items placed on it. While this is fine for typical use, it is usually not enough to hold the weight of a hot tub filled with water and people. To safely support a hot tub, your wood deck will likely require reinforcement. Therefore, it’s best to have a contractor or a structural engineer assess it before hot tub installation.
