"My home was in need of gutter cleaning and exterior cleaning/power-wash. I found Adam and Perfect Lawn and Home through an online search that led me here to his HomeAdvisor profile. When I saw all of the reviews and positive words, I decided to give him a call. He was professional, easy to work with, on time for the estimate, gave a fair quote for the work, showed up on the day and time agreed upon, and did an outstanding job! Very thorough, professional, flexible and respectful. No shortcuts. The place looks amazing from the tip of the roof to the bottom of the foundation! Really a pleasure and rare to find a contractor around here that does what they say (and then some), shows up when they say they will, and performs quality work. Well worth it. Adam goes to the top of my list now for future needs."

"The job went great. Mr. Ingrham personally did the estimate. They completed the job in about a week. The quality of the job exceeded expectations. He genuinely cares about providing a great service. As a prior foreclosure, some of the walls were in bad shape. The house looks brand new. I contacted many people trying to contract my job. It is my opinion that Mr. Ingrham is the best in the area. You will not be disappointed."

"Consolidated Roofing Systems is simply the best. From Fred and Billy and the entire crew, customer service really impressed me. I haven't seen that kind of customer service for a very long time. The workmanship is superb from start to finish. The product is definitely top of the line. I'm so glad I found this company and would certainly recommend them to anyone. Thanks for a great job!!"

"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"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

There are several methods for attaching stair stringers to a deck. The best way is to bolt the stringers to the deck joists using three carriage bolts in a triangular pattern. This method offers the sturdiest fit for stairs that won’t budge. Alternatively, attach the stringers to the deck rims using lag bolts or to the posts using adjustable slope hangers.

Many composite decking manufacturers, including the popular Trex brand, offer warranties that protect against warping under specific conditions. These warranties typically last between 20 and 50 years, but they usually exclude claims related to improper installation of the product. Some manufacturer warranties only cover decks built by certified professionals.

Pressure-treated decks last 15 to 20 years on average, but with proper maintenance, you could get 40 to 50 years of value from yours. Reseal your deck every one to two years, and replace old or rotted wood as soon as possible to avoid structural damage. Where you live plays a role in the lifespan of your deck. Intense sunlight, rainfall, wind, and hail can reduce the deck’s lifespan.

Before installing a deck, you must build a base for the deck to rest upon, often made of compacted soil or gravel. While gravel is an optional material, it helps with drainage. Some contractors also recommend installing a weed control membrane, which helps provide a solid foundation for the frame. In the case of an elevated deck, a pro will often lay down a concrete slab as a foundation. 

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.
