"Robert was very punctual in getting back with me. His painting crew were detailed-oriented and did a great job painting the exterior of our house and the deck, all within 5 days!"
"Did a nice job on a hand railing. I provided the materials and a rough idea what I wanted and he made it work. Professional, prompt and quality service."
"Great job with power-wash and staining the deck. Would definitely hire again for other jobs. Neighbor was so impressed she wants him to work on her house too."
"Dave and his crew were fantastic! I ordered the wrong color by mistake! Dave and I went to the Sherwin Williams paint store. They were unable to tweak my bad paint to match the bracket from the door so I ended up buying a new gallon that matched it perfectly! With Dave's contractor discount I did save money on the new paint. He was so helpful and cooperative! They did a great job on the door and trim. Looks brand new! I would highly recommend Dave for any painting project!"
"Good job, good customer service. The bid was easy. I received a bid for labor and estimate for materials. At the end I was provided copies of the receipts for those materials and only paid for what was used. I would hire this company again."
"What can I say? We needed a last-minute repair and thankfully, from recommendation from a mutual friend we got in contact with DLS siding and construction. I got the pleasure to speak to James. He walked us through the process and made everything easy. We are very thankful they came fast and got the work done. We highly recommend them."

Waterproof paint creates a barrier to hold back moisture, but it doesn’t eliminate the source of the water. If you hire a basement waterproofing contractor, many will tell you that waterproof paint is only a temporary solution. On average, you can expect it to last from six months to two years in a wet basement before deteriorating.
You should seal your deck every one to two years, but you’ll also need to clean and repair your wood deck throughout the seasons. You may want to hire a local house cleaning service to sweep and clean the deck thoroughly. These cleaning services cost around $50 per hour.
Inspect your deck at least once a year, and if you notice any damage or rot, expect to spend about $10 to $50 for simple DIY fixes or about $2,000 for professional repairs on more extensive damage.
Hangers are one way of attaching stair stringers to a deck. These metal hangers are usually adjustable, allowing you to find the ideal angle for a secure installation. They’re the best choice for installing longer staircases, such as one on a two-story deck, to reduce the load on the deck frame while keeping the stairs stable.
There are deck restoration products and oil-based wood stains that can help bring back some of the color and shine to your faded Trex decking. However, if your boards are suffering from serious fading due to UV rays or chemical cleaning products, don’t expect miracles. Also, these products are only suitable for use on the older Trex boards, not the capped, second-generation Trex products.
