"I did receive a couple bids from Home Advisors network and decided on Midwest due to the owner (Joe) stating that all my needs would be addressed which was to power wash all concrete and paver surfaces including retaining walls. He guaranteed that his price included all that I asked for with "no surprises" and I have that via email. I also was seeking a company that would be able to seal my pavers upon completion. Joe was confident that he could do all the work. What I discovered is that he had not come over to physically look at the job and relied on satellite technology which evidently did not thoroughly show all retaining walls and surfaces and how dirty they were. Hence, there was a little more work involved than what was expected which definitely did not fall on my shoulders as to if he surveyed the area by walking it before bidding. Joe's partner, Steve, did all the work and spent an entire day cleaning my very dirty concrete and paver surfaces. He put the work in but there were areas that were not situated where the dirt could drain somewhere beyond the concrete and pavers, so he just left it set on the pavers. I also didn't like that I could see exactly where he had power washed by the "water pressure strokes" on the surfaces which meant that if I could see the strokes, that implied that between the strokes dirt had been left. Those spots I had pointed out to Steve on the initial day but he said that the rain would fix them. I was also amazed that a power washing company would not have brooms to push dirty water to a drain or a hose to hose off fences, posts or whatever that had been badly soiled with the power washing. Even with all these issues that I believe a professional service would do better, the job definitely cleaned my surfaces and it looks a whole lot better; just not as good as I was hoping since this is a professional service. They did not use any cleansers on areas that had spots nor sand to fill in areas that the power wash efforts pulled up between the pavers. I contacted Joe to do some "redo" on a few spots that needed to be redone before he could apply sealant and two weeks later they were able to return and fix those issues. At that time I got to experience Joe's true business sense. He was so busy validating his work and not even giving me five minutes to share with him my perspective, and he came in the yard very defensive even though we hadn't ever met. He immediately told me that he would not be able to do the sealing job and that I would have to find someone else. He didn't say why but it was obvious that he was defensive and already negative on me and my expectations although they were valid and he did see them and took care of them. I took pictures and I wish that I could attach them here so that others could see what they thought was the finished work PRIOR TO the rework and why they needed to be addressed. The finish work does look great but Joe's approach to try to belittle or diminish others is not professional nor appreciated when it comes to customer support. When they were finished he didn't thank me for the business nor say that they believe they are good to go. I would not recommend this company more so because of the owner's attitude. They sound good but don't ask them to fix something because then they get unpleasant and just tell you that they gave you a good deal and they think the work is great.... nothing to do with how the customer feels or believes. Also they will cancel a phase of the work (such as my sealing) without hesitating or providing you with an explanation. Looking back on other reviews, I realize now that many of them are for cleaning gutters/downspouts and not power washing concrete/pavers and retaining walls or large projects such as what I had."

"Matt arrived on time and was efficient at replacing floor tiles. Do you think customer service is gone, well so did we until Matt Hemingway came to replace three broken tiles. He finished in 90 minutes and that included going back to hardware store for a different color grout because he didn't like the way it looked. When done you could not tell the floor had been fixed. Excellent job. Highly recommend."

"They were extremely kind and helpful in working with me as I navigated trying to restore and repair the deck on my parents' house that I had inherited. Not only were they very communicative, but were prompt and showed up when they said they would (which was very appreciative as someone with a busy schedule). The quality of work and professionalism was top tier, and my brother and I are very pleased with the outcome of the project and how our 20+ year old deck now looks relatively new. Costs were upfront and there were no hidden charges or fees upon completion. We would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for power washing and deck resealing/minor repair, and would definitely use them again for any powerwashing needs."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Yes, and in some cases, frozen ground may improve the digging process for footings due to sturdier conditions. It’s easier than working in muddy conditions, which are more common in the spring. Contractors may use machinery that makes this step a breeze, so harder ground shouldn’t affect the building process.

When building an outdoor or deck gate, it's crucial to use durable wood that can withstand harsh weather conditions like sunlight, rain, wind, and snow. Redwood and cedar are excellent choices as they naturally resist decay. While redwood is considered more elegant, cedar is a more affordable option. Other suitable woods include oak and pressure-treated pine, which is specifically treated to resist rot. Although some softwoods like pine are popular, untreated softwoods such as pine and spruce should generally be avoided for outdoor projects because they are susceptible to damage from water, rot, and the sun. Ultimately, it's wise to consider your local climate when selecting the right wood for your gate.

The proper height for a stair riser or deck step is between four and seven inches, with seven inches often considered the most comfortable. Building your stairs to this height ensures a strain-free step position and minimizes the risk of trip and fall injuries. For optimal safety and comfort, especially on deck stairs, a rise of around seven inches should be paired with a tread depth (or run) of at least 10 to 12 inches. While it is possible to design stairs with risers up to 12 inches, this height can be challenging for children, pets, or individuals with mobility issues. Always check with your local building codes, as they may mandate specific dimensions that differ from these general recommendations.

Building a deck is often worth the investment, not only because it provides more utility to your yard and gives you more space to entertain but also because decks tend to add value to your home. Keep in mind that second-story decks often require concrete footings, which means they will bump up your property taxes, while decks built on the first story generally don’t require a permanent foundation and won’t affect your taxes. Even with the tax increase, decks are usually a good investment in the long run.

While you can use various materials like sand or even just soil, gravel is widely considered the best option to put under a deck. It provides excellent drainage and is resistant to water, fire, and pests. Gravel also helps anchor the soil to prevent erosion during heavy rain and acts as a built-in weed blocker, reducing regular upkeep. Furthermore, it is simple to spread, available in various textures and tones, and adds a polished look that complements any deck design.
