Customers say: True professional

"Carrie did not an exceptional job building four different decks for me on three different homes. He also fixed Decks that other contractors had poorly constructed at a very reasonable price. Stay away from this guy I need him to do other stuff for me. ? better yet I should give him a really negative review so nobody wants to work with him so he will work with me exclusively."

"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."

"I needed new floors put down in my kitchen and Jake battled the bad weather and got the job done and done very well I might add, he even found an electrical issue with my dishwasher when he pulled it out and fixed it at no extra charge. Excellent workmanship and professionalism. I will definitely be using him again for future projects. Highly recommend!"

My name is Christian Hughes I am a proud owner of Good Ol’ Boys.\nWhen I first started the company I worked for many others over the course of many years and recognized countless mistakes that I have learned from. \nIf the service was good the communication wasn’t. If the work was done wrong the sell pitch was higher and so forth and so wrong! \nThe Good Ol’ Boys CO. Was founded due to people cutting corners and a couple of guys tired of seeing customers not getting what they deserved. \nWe do it right every time and the first time, because your time is valuable and so is ours. \nWe will always listen to the customer, give our advice and make sure everyone is happy at the end of the day. \nIf you ever need ANYTHING done Id Highly recommend to call us Good Ol’ Boys first, because if we can’t do it we know somebody that can. \nGod bless. Stay safe and have a wonderful day. \n-Christian Hughes Proud Owner Of Good Ol’ Boys CO.\n

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Covering your deck with a breathable tarp can protect it from snow, ice, and cold winter temperatures. This is a good winterizing solution if you don’t plan to use your deck at all during the colder months. However, it might be best to skip the tarp if you’ll still be walking on your deck or using it in a limited capacity.

Ideally, a gate should be able to swing both in and out. However, if it can only open in one direction, it is generally best for it to swing inward. This is often the safest option, especially for deck gates near steps, as you'll want the gate to swing away from the stairs. An inward swing also prevents the gate from opening into a public space, like a sidewalk, and can be more convenient when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

There are exceptions, however. The layout of your property may require a different approach. For example, if your property is on a slope, the gate may not be able to swing inward. You should also ensure the gate can open fully without colliding with any objects or blocking access to other areas. For a backyard garden gate where public access isn't a concern, the direction it swings is largely a matter of personal preference. Finally, always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements for which way a gate must swing.

What goes under your floating deck depends on your preferences. Some homeowners put landscaping fabric underneath their decks to prevent weeds from popping up through the boards. Others choose to build a floating deck over grass or gravel. However, it’s best not to set your deck directly on the ground. Instead, set your deck on blocks to keep it elevated enough to prevent moisture from rotting the wood.

A deck doesn’t have to be perfectly level. Many pros even recommend a gentle slope to ensure proper drainage and increase longevity. The ideal gentle slope is about 1/8 to 1/4 inch per foot away from the property, leading water away from the home to prevent pooling and reduce the risk of damage. It also minimizes rot, mold, and other moisture-related problems. 

It's okay to walk on a newly painted deck after about four to six hours as long as the weather has been dry. Be sure to wait at least 24 hours before you place any outdoor furniture or grills on a freshly painted deck, though.
