"Excellent. My deck looks brand new. I did not think the deck would come out looking like I just had it installed. I am very happy with the results. Rich gave me a fair price and got the job done in a timely fashion. Thanks Rich. I will surely call on you in the future."

"I couldn’t be happier with the work from Prescion Home Repair! They installed my railing and the entire experience was excellent from start to finish. They were incredibly kind, professional, and easy to work with, and they really took the time to stay within my budget without compromising on quality. The craftsmanship is outstanding—the railing looks amazing and feels extremely solid and well-built. You can tell they take pride in their work. I highly recommend Prescion Home Repair to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality home improvement work!"

"This is the 2nd time I've used Freeborne and I would definitely have them back again. They built a 12' X 16' enclosed room on a 2nd story deck and it came out great. Lenny, Scott and crew knew what we wanted and exceeded our expectations without over complicating the project. There were no budget surprises either. The amount we discussed at the beginning was what we were charged. If I could I would use them to do projects inside of the house!"

"I contracted AAA Custom Painting to have my mom's house painted.  The quality of their work was excellent.  They sanded most of the house down to the bare wood, repaired areas of wood rot, primed and painted by hand (not sprayed), stained the deck, and fixed/replaced the screens on my mom's porch.  While working, they discovered a large sheet of rotted wood that wasn't originally visible for the estimate (it was beneath the exterior).  This could have been very expensive but they worked out a cost-effective solution that took about a day of carpentry.  This added $950 to the original $10,700 estimate which included labor and materials - I think this was a good price for the work that was done.  My mother was very pleased with their work as well (although some of her plantings got a little beat up - they warned us of this, however, and I believe they did what they could to minimize that damage).
They also worked very quickly; the job was completed in 10 days.
The price might seem a little high, but the exterior was in pretty bad shape and required a great deal of prep work.  Considering the amount of work needed, the price was reasonable.
I have but one issue.  Although they very nice people, they are not good about returning my phone calls or emails.  I wanted to hire them to power-wash the moss from my mom's roof (which previously I had spoken to them about - they quoted me a reasonable price that I agreed to) . I also wanted to get an estimate for some retaining wall work.  I've called or emailed them several times during the past four weeks and have not yet heard from them.
Bottom line, however, they did an excellent job."

"Power spray of house was great.  Pool deck had puddles because it doesn't drain well.  Planning to have contractor come out and seal pool deck with epoxy cement paint so puddles (with some dirt) will be removed before paint.  Contractor was courteous and helpful when more attention to some areas was requested.

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes. Freestanding or floating decks are exactly what the name implies—structures with their own support beams. You can build a deck yourself and place it next to a house for the illusion of a connected deck without the hassle. Or you can construct it in a separate part of your yard for a dedicated outdoor entertainment space. For the purpose of removing a freestanding deck, the steps are the same as an attached deck, but you don’t have to cut the deck away from the home.

That depends on the condition of your deck. An older deck that looks drab, worn, or has multiple damaged boards might be worth replacing before selling. However, if your deck is in good condition, you can simply clean, repaint, or stain it.

The best way to clean your decking is to clear debris from the gaps between the boards, sweep the surface, rinse it, apply cleaner, rinse again, and let it dry fully. A homemade deck cleaner made of two gallons of warm water and 1/2 cup vinegar is a simple cleaning solution for both wood and composite decking. You can sprinkle baking soda on any spots with mold or mildew, then scrub the area and rinse clean. 

In many areas, a floating deck that isn’t connected to your home and stays under 200 square feet and below 30 inches in height may not need a permit. These freestanding structures are often considered low-risk, which can simplify the building process. However, building codes vary greatly based on location. Before investing in any home improvement project, check with your local permitting office for deck-building guidelines.
