"I cannot recommend him highly enough. He focuses on the job, so much so, that my wife and I had to encourage him to take an occasional day off. Our kitchen needed the entire flooring to be redone, the cabinets had to be replaced, all the appliances replace, the sink, etc. Huge job. We also needed the flooring fixed in our living room and bedrooms. Needed paint job down stairs, carpeting on the stairs needed to be ripped up, and on and on. Top level work in every area. For only part of the job we had been quoted by a different contractor almost twice as much. And for all of this you could reasonably expect three to four months. Nope four weeks and THAT was only because the suppliers kept jerking us around with the deliveries. I'll be writing another review about the work he did replacing our entire back deck. But for now, can't say enough good things about him"

"Just had Kevin and his crew do inside and outside painting, as well as replace a large section of ceiling drywall that was damaged due to a leak. They did an excellent job throughout, leaving the house spotless when they were done. Gustav was a pleasure to deal with, and he made sure we were happy with everything that was done. I would certainly recommend them to anyone who needs any kind of painting or drywall work done."

"Excellent job! Lupe and his staff were awesome. We had the vinyl siding on our whole house painted and it turned out beautiful. They were efficient, timely and tidy. No cleanup at all was needed on our part. Definitely would recommend to all!!"

"Angel and his team did a first class job of building a beautiful screened in porch on our existing deck, including the necessary structural work underneath. We spoke with multiple contractors and ZZEOS were the most knowledgeable and detailed oriented. We were so impressed with the porch, we had the finish off around the bottom of the deck. Pricing was very reasonable. They give you lots of options like skylights, doors, siding and shingle colors, etc. if we do anything else to our home, we will give them a call."

"Absolutely, positively spectacular.  Derek was always responsive, incredibly professional and very, very easy to deal with, which was especially important for us as out-of-town owners who could not be on site when the work was being done.  For example, when Derek's team found a leaking water line during moving the refrigerator to paint, they shut the water off and and notified me by email immediately.  Finished product was first rate and meticulously performed. Would recommend or use again in a heartbeat.

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

The best base materials for a ground-level or floating deck are typically gravel and crushed stone (also known as landscaping rocks). These options are inexpensive, provide excellent drainage, prevent weeds, and help minimize moisture buildup, which reduces shifting and rotting. For added stability and to evenly distribute the weight, you can use concrete deck blocks or pavers. While more expensive, concrete blocks and pavers offer a sturdier base than gravel or crushed stone alone.

To flatten a cupped deck board, start by ensuring it’s dry. Then, try flipping the board over so the cupped side faces down and reattach it. If that’s not possible, you can use screws to pull it tighter to the joists or plane the edges slightly to reduce the cup. It’s best to replace severely cupped boards.

Most building codes list a minimum width of 36 inches and a maximum height of 7¾ inches. However, for the most comfort and spaciousness, you’ll want to aim for a width of at least 48 inches and a height of 7 inches. Again, it’s always a good idea to base your numbers off steps that you already use comfortably.

The best way to sand a deck is by cleaning it, sanding the boards and stairs with 60- or 80-grit sandpaper, and sanding the railings and posts with 80-grit sandpaper. You should sand in the direction of the wood grain to avoid damaging the timber. When sanding your deck, use medium pressure and aim for an even sand. Pressing too hard with a sander can damage decks, as most are softwoods.

The problems with composite decking include a high rate of expansion and contraction from temperature swings. This characteristic can cause boards to split, delaminate, or peel. In addition, significant movement can cause shrinking, warping, twisting, and bending. For this reason, you should minimize moisture and ensure proper airflow below your deck.
