"Deck doctor added stairs to my deck, the punctuality of the contractor was great, he got a quote to me the same day i requested one and the stairs were complete the following weekend. Deck doctor was the lowest quote by a few hundred bucks, for the value and promptness you can not beat deck doctor. I’ve added photos of before and after of the stairs !"
"This was not the cheapest quote for a retaining wall however owner took time to fully explain the specifics of job and was able to work with us to do work timely since we were dealing with water issues. Excellent work completed and wall looks great while solving our landscape issues. They also built a platform deck for our above ground pool to allow easy pool access. Again quality work completed as promised. Owner frequently on site during construction and was available if we had questions. Would use this company again."
"The company is very busy. If you need to schedule maintenance I would suggest starting the process in early summer to make sure the work is done before cooler weather starts"
I wish I needed every room in my house painted as Beau would be doing every one of them. He was able to come look at the area needing painting within a couple days of calling him. He contacted me shortly thereafter with a great bid that included the cost of the paint. It was less than half of what someone else had quoted. I was not on a tight timeline, but needed it done before mid-June. He was one of many contractors I was coordinating for a basement facelift. He had a couple home exteriors he was working on but said he could fit me in on a rainy day. I had some prep work to do before he came and needed to pick out a color. I started on that when the weather forecast looked like a rain day was coming. He sent me a nice e-mail on a Wednesday and asked when I would be ready for him, but said don't feel rushed. I told him I was forecasting a rain day on that Friday and had finished my prep work and would know the paint color on Thursday and I would text him that morning. I texted him Thursday, he got the paint ordered and said he would see me Friday morning.
I had removed all my baseboards as they had paint flecks from the prior homeowner and I wanted to get them cleaned up. As I was working on that in the garage, while he was painting, he gave me a suggestion of how to make it a little easier (warm soapy water in a spray bottle, spray it on, let it sit for a short bit and then use a scrubby sponge to get it off - I used a Dobie). For the top edges that had more solid paint on them he said I could borrow his sander to sand that off and I'd only have to stain the top edge. The whole project went a lot easier than I expected with the great suggestions from Beau and by letting me use his sander.
He and his worker Tanner finished the whole job in less than 5 hours and it looked phenomenal. It was a boring neutral wall basement and it now was a gorgeous blue gray color (Ocean Storms - Diamond Vogel) that looks different in the different lights (natural vs ceiling, etc.). It turned out better than I imagined.
I had read a comment somewhere about his trim work. I looked closely where the ceiling and walls met and along the door frames and there was not a speck of paint anywhere and he doesn't even tape. I told him how amazed I was at how well that looked. I even pointed it out to my boyfriend when he got home and he felt the same as I did that Beau does great work and is a true artist.
They also used a garden hose out back to wash out their pans. I had it strewn on the patio from my last use so I hooked it up for them. I go outside today to use it and they had neatly coiled it up underneath the water spigot. I turned to my boyfriend and said "look what Beau and Tanner did". I just shook my head and got a smile on my face as it was totally unexpected. They could have left it just as I had...a mangled mess on the patio....but they put it back the neatest it will look all summer.
Beau definitely takes pride in his work!!!! He and Tanner did a great job. I felt like he was family and that I had known him a long time. Not just a paint contractor that I met that day. It takes a special personality to have that trait and Beau and Tanner definitely have it.
He and I also talked about him power washing my deck and re-staining it as it is long overdue. I have a pergola built into one corner so it's not a simple open deck. He's going to do that for me this summer when he has time in his schedule as I told him I was not in a hurry. I can't wait to see how great that is going to look when he's done.
I highly recommend Beau to everyone. If I ever need him again for painting and he's busy, I would wait. He is truly that good!!!

To prepare a deck for a hot tub, start by thinking about safe and easy access in and out of the tub. Homeowners should plan for steps or consider built-in seating, a level surface around the perimeter, and a clear, slip-resistant path from the house. A hot tub requires sufficient space around it for comfortable entry and exit, ensuring no awkward squeezing or stepping over high edges. Good lighting and handrails can also make a big difference, especially for nighttime use.
Yes, you can attach a deck to a mobile home, but it’s important that the work be done correctly to avoid the potential for major damage to your home. Many building codes require that any additions to mobile homes—including decks—be either freestanding or have their own support structures. Getting permits may require submitting the home's original floor plan, the proposed floor plan, framing details, and more.
Yes, and in some cases, frozen ground may improve the digging process for footings due to sturdier conditions. It’s easier than working in muddy conditions, which are more common in the spring. Contractors may use machinery that makes this step a breeze, so harder ground shouldn’t affect the building process.
There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet.
It is recommended to clean your deck once or twice a year to prevent the accumulation of dirt, debris, mold, and mildew. The ideal times for cleaning are in the spring and fall. A spring cleaning removes grime that has built up over the winter, preparing your deck for summer use. A fall cleaning washes away messes from summer activities, preventing them from setting into the wood over the winter. The exact frequency can depend on factors such as how often the deck is used, its exposure to pollen, and whether salt was used on it during the winter. Regular cleaning helps protect the wood and its finish from damage.
