"Tallon did a wonderful job installing our kitchen window when another contractor left us high and dry! He replaced all the trim and we are getting bids for other items. He showed up on time and cleaned up after. Great person, very respectful and knew what he was doing. We look forward to working with him in the future."

Manzo Enterprises is an independent contracting business. A lot of the work the owner does himself, and he has been working in the Flathead Valley for almost 15 years. I, Francisco, (owner) will come and place a bid on the job instead of working by hourly wages. Jobs that include a lot of materials require 1/2 payment up front and second 1/2 upon completion of job. Jobs that are primarily labor require payment upon completion of job. I can provide proof of insurance and workman's comp. exemption when requested.

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Spindles on a deck may also be called balusters or pickets. While not as important to the structural support of the deck as the rail posts, they play a critical role in ensuring the deck is safe to use by closing in large gaps in the railing. For this reason, balusters must be no more than 4 inches away from one another.

While building your deck, you might come across something called the four-inch sphere rule. Essentially, this railing requirement for a deck states that a four-inch ball should not be able to fit through any gap in the deck railings. The gap between spindles and between the decking and the bottom of the railing must be less than four inches to prevent small children or pets from squeezing through the gap.

With proper maintenance, the average life span of a screened-in porch is six to eight years for the screens themselves, but the foundation and structure can last for 50 to 100 years. To keep your screened-in porch in good shape, clean your porch screens regularly, patch holes, re-seal the wood as needed, and address any foundational issues right away.

Yes, if you have an existing deck, an under-deck draining system can be added by retrofitting the system to your existing structure. To ensure a properly installed drainage system, it’s best to consult a pro for this task. A pro will first inspect your deck and make any repairs before installing the drainage system.

If you notice standing water under the deck after rainstorms, you may need a drainage system to efficiently move this water. You do not want standing water to rest against your foundation or against support posts for the deck, as this could cause significant structural problems over time. Make sure the area has proper grading, too.
