"Contractor would not give me an invoice for his work but, instead, insisted that I pay him from his verbal quote and business card. Then they dumped white paint on our asphalt driveway and left their mess for my wife and me to clean up."

"A+ Professional Painting is THE company if you are considering painting you home.  Derek was upfront explaining the lead time to start the job would be considerable, BUT the wait was well worth it.
From the first day both he and Brad were extremely conscientious about keeping the house clean and the work area organized. At the end of each day they would clean the area and place all the equipment in one space to minimize the inconvenience to me. A big plus since painting an entire house is quite a job. They were meticulous with regard to the prep work so as to ensure the finish paint would look perfect. Derek even went back to re-prep something he wasn't quite happy with. A sign of true pride and professionalism when the owner retraces his own steps to make sure he and the owner are satisfied. Both Derek and Brad did an outstanding job, making sure the walls were perfect before final coat.
All furniture and personal items were well cared for with both men listening and paying attention my concerns, very nice. All furniture and pictures were moved and replaced by them. 
Both Derek and Brad were very personable, polite and showed concern for my convenience and routine. 
I would rehire them in an instant for any future painting projects(blue room). 
My thanks again to both Derek and Brad for making this as pleasurable an experience as painting can be.

"I cannot say enough. It has only been 2 days and I already had one neighbor walk over and another text me to say how beautiful the fence looks. It actually makes the house look nicer! I didn't think I would be able to do such nice fencing around most of the house, but they made it affordable to do so. The owner of the company actually works alongside his help! No dropping off workers and coming by later to check up on the work, if even that. What a welcome sight. All my concerns were listened to and addressed, I can't say enough. I am so glad I used Express Fencing. This was a big job that was done in one day!. They got here early in the morning and with the amount of workers were done by dinnertime. Before you choose your fence company make sure you include them in your choices. Best decision we made."

"Excellent work and reasonable pricing. Andres and his team were very professional and meticulous. The deck came out great and the overall painting looks flawless. As Andres promised, the preparation was well done and had produced great results. His team was careful in protecting my property and were very friendly and accommodating in handling all of my requests. They really went out of their way to earn my satisfaction. Would highly recommend."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Any wood deck provides some ventilation to the area below, as is the nature of that type of deck design. However, areas that experience excessive humidity and associated moisture benefit greatly from a dedicated ventilation system in the form of strip vents. This addition helps the various wood boards contract and expand evenly throughout the years and reduces the chances of twisting, warping, and buckling.

Some elevated decks require stairs that lead to the ground level per the local fire codes in some municipalities. In other regions, a staircase is an optional feature that can increase accessibility and convenience for homeowners who want ground-level access to their deck. Additionally, a staircase is necessary if your home doesn't have an existing door leading to the deck.

The overhang, or nosing, of deck steps is another area that will be covered in building code requirements. The noses on your deck steps should have a minimum overhang of ¾ inch. For safety, usability, and code compliance, the nosing of deck steps should not extend past 1¼ inches.

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.

Deck skirting shouldn’t touch the ground, especially if you have a wood deck, which is vulnerable to moisture. Ideally, you should leave at least 3/4 of an inch of space between the deck skirting and the ground for more ventilation. Pros also recommend that you incorporate about 1 square foot of space for ventilation for the underside of the deck to every 150 square feet of decking. Proper ventilation prevents mold growth and rot that can damage your deck.
