"Kyle was great to work with and did an amazing job. I own cabin rentals, and Kyle has done a few jobs for me. He did my Roofing, built my pergola and a few other projects. Will diffently continue to use him."
"I hired Ozark painting to do the interior of my home. It is a man and wife with the daughter helping out periodically. They would show up around 9:30-10:00am and be gone by 1:30-2:00pm each day because they had to pick the grandkids up at school. It was very hard to get a full day's work out of them. A project that should have taken about a week turned into a 2.5 week project. I had to sleep with no drapes for more than week. After the completion of the project the owner wanted his money, but it took another 4 weeks for him to come back and do the final walk through. And then there was one particular spot that was never corrected to my satisfaction. Ben likes to use flat paint so he can cover the old paint in one coat. I wanted semi gloss so it would be easier to clean. Fortunately for me the paint guy at the store messed up and gave us a bit of flat and semi gloss making it more of a satin finish. It took 2 coats so maybe that is why it took longer. Also, the invoices say the estimate includes all materials needed for the job, but he charged me for the paint."
"Duraplex installed a metal roof on my house and barn. It came out great and i was very happy with the outcome. The owner and the crew are very professional and punctual. They also made sure to clean up after the work. I would recommend this company to my family and friends!"
"I was concerned about my elderly parents climbing ladeers and cleaning gutters (every fall and spring) decided to go with TriState Gutters. Wow! Great service, went above and beyond explaining everything to my parents. The install went smoothly, they even called and told them they were running behind a few hours finishing another job. Looks great and my worries about dad on a ladder are over. Highly recommend these guys!"
"A little difficult to get hold of them at the beginning but once they were on the job, everything went really well. They were always in time and left my home clean and secure."

Local building codes don’t specify the number of steps a deck can have before a railing is required, mainly because stair height varies widely. Most areas require decks 30 inches or higher to have a railing. While not exact, that roughly equates to four to seven steps.
Always sand a deck before repainting so the wood is smooth and ready for paint. While you do not need to fully remove paint before repainting, sanding helps remove any areas with weather and sun damage. Sanding also helps remove chipped or flaking paint and opens the wood pores to improve paint adhesion.
Applying too much sealer to a deck might seem like extra protection, but it can cause more harm than good. Wood is a porous material with a limited capacity to absorb liquids. When you go overboard with sealer, the excess can't soak in and instead forms a film on the surface. This leftover layer is prone to peeling, cracking, and trapping moisture, ultimately defeating the purpose of sealing in the first place.
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.
Both deck footings and deck posts help prop up your deck. However, footings are the bottommost parts of a deck that touch the ground. They’re usually made of concrete. Posts are pieces of wood that attach to the top of the footings with brackets. They run upwards and connect to the underside of your deck to support its weight.
