"Chris and crew arrived on time daily. They were professional and meticulous. All of the old decking was removed and hauled away. They were clean and neat and did not make a mess. Our deck feels solid, no more rotted and wobbly boards. Our project was completed quickly (3 days/1 day removal of old decking/2 days of repair/rebuild). I highly recommend Eden Landscaping."

He was on time, extremely neat, perfect work repairing and painting my deck, deck furniture, replaced several rotted wood on my home, cleaned and pressure washed my gutters, cleaned up the area each day before he left, didn’t ask for $ until he was finished and I was completely satisfied. I am recommending David to everyone I know. He does everything! He stands “Head and Shoulders “ above his competition!

"My large deck was in disrepair so badly. Needed some wood replaced, pergola repaired, power wash and stained. The deck is 10-12 feet off the ground, but they managed to do all the repairs, power wash and stain without an issue. What a great job they did. Very professional, reliable and such quality workmanship and affordable. They are definitely the company to go with for almost any job. I’m going to have them paint my ceilings next. Thank you Joe and Backyard Solutions!"
"It went great! I was looking to get my shed finished and Bergens Contracting and Repair was the first to come to mind after they laid a new roof on my house back in2005. The crew came out, did their thing, transformed my shed and cleaned up when they left. Shed looks better than my house now!! I think I know a company that can handle that!"

Very easy to work with and their website shows all other projects they’ve completed. The neighbors gave us the thumbs up as soon as the completed the job. Looking forward to working with them again on other projects."

No, termites do not eat Trex or any other composite decking brand. Termites eat cellulose, of which composite decking like Trex contains very little compared to natural wood. This feature can help justify the higher Trex decking costs if you live in an area with abundant termites.
Both aluminum and composite decking materials are environmentally friendly, with aluminum decking coming in as the most eco-friendly option.
Though composite decking helps remove plastics from landfills, recycles wood, and lasts longer than traditional wood decks, it’s not recyclable and only lasts for 25 to 30 years on average. Aluminum can last well over 30 years and is almost always recyclable.

Both a well-constructed deck and a patio can add value to your home. Patios are generally cheaper to build but don’t offer the same aesthetics as a quality deck. Therefore, decks can be more appealing to buyers than patios, increasing a home's resale value.
While the terms deck and porch are often used interchangeably, they are two distinct structures. A porch is a covered structure, usually attached to the front of a home, that offers protection from the elements. In contrast, a deck is an open, uncovered platform, often attached to the back or side of a home. Because porches have a roof, they typically require less maintenance than decks, but both features need regular cleaning and repairs to stay in good condition.
