"Diego gave helpful advice on a whole house painting(including tin roof and decking). He and his crew spent significant time pressure washing and preparing all surfaces for paint and stain. They came promptly as the weather permitted. He and his crew were meticulous and expert in their painting. They left no mess behind on any day of work. It was fun to see the progress and we feel like we have a new home and deck and are thrilled with it. It was a pleasure to work with Diego and his crew."
"Needed fencing installed to keep groundhogs from taking up residence under our deck. Brady came up with a creative and complete solution that made sure the varmints were out and would not return. Would use again."

"There were some postponements, primarily due to weather, but Brian did a very good job of removing the rotted wood on my deck and leaving the deck in good shape. I'm replacing the wood myself, as I think it was more difficult and required tools, which I do not have, to remove the wood, 5/4 X 6" and 2 X 4", about 20 boards in total."

"I contacted several services, and decided to go with Marcel and Michael after meeting them. They do not just give vague estimates; they take measurements and really assess the needs of your project. I had an ancient, very dirty deck and stairs, and they made it fabulous! They are attentive, thorough, work their assess off, and take pride in their work. Without a doubt I would recommend them. I have already requested their help in future maintenance. I would like to add that when Marcel was reviewing the photos after finishing the job, he noticed some very small areas that the stain had missed. He came out the next morning for a touch up. Amazing service. Laura M., Oak Island, NC"
"After having a few project done in the past by others, I was weary of going through the headaches again of another project. From the moment CJ showed up to look at our old windows, and rotten fascia everything went better than expected. He was very knowledgeable and professional. I was very comfortable with the entire process from start to finish. I was so pleased with the work that was done we contracted to add an extension to our deck. Get it Done is the only company I will call from now on for any project I will have moving forward."
There are more pros than cons when staining a deck. Deck stain is more affordable than paint, it protects the wood and allows the natural textures to shine through, and it can revive the appearance of your home. However, deck stain also requires prep work (sometimes days or more), carries more upkeep than a painted deck, and can fade over time if not cared for.
The “best” material is in the eye of the beholder, as each common decking material boasts its pros and cons. Poured concrete is the best budget-friendly option, but composite wood brings high-grade aesthetics without breaking the bank. Wood is the most traditional material, but it requires more maintenance than some other materials. In other words, do your research before settling on a deck material to find the one that’s best for your pool.
Decks are generally more expensive to build because they require elevating and railings. The difference between decks and patios is that decks are elevated, while patios are usually on the ground level. Plus, decks are usually made of wood and need more maintenance than most patios. However, decks and patios serve the same purpose, providing outdoor space for you to enjoy.
It is possible to build your own deck, but it’s typically better to leave the work to a decking professional. Decks can be exceptionally complicated, especially if you want a wrap-around or second-story deck, and you don’t want to risk making an expensive or dangerous mistake. It’s usually better to hire a decking pro who can pull permits and build a structurally sound deck that will last for decades and provide the maximum return on investment.
Expect to spend around $10,000 to $11,000 to replace a 20-by-20-foot deck. Using high-end materials like composite or exotic hardwoods can drive up the cost, as can custom features and design elements. You can also expect to pay more than average if your deck replacement requires a site evaluation or if you need the work done during the busy season.
