"This is the second time we hired Petar to stain our large deck and touch up/paint the white hand rails. He is fantastic! He is very prompt with his communications kept us informed if he could not make it do to rain. (outside project) he is very meticulous, and careful with all of the surroundings. Both him and his helper were very polite and friendly, a real pleasure to have around my family. The work as I expected came out perfect. I loved his work so much the first time we had the deck stained I did not even shop around this time, I went right to Petar. The price I paid for this service was in range with other quotes I had received when I priced this the first time. I am so glad I went with him since the quality of work and the time it took to complete the project was outstanding. We have some projects we are considering inside our house and I will not be looking for a painter, since I already have one now, in PV Painting & Decorating. If you are considering a painting job this is the man for the project."

"I had an excellent experience with SZ Home Construction?. They completed the chimney maintenance, cleaning, and painting professionally and at a very reasonable price. The work was finished on time, and the quality exceeded my expectations. What impressed me the most was their attention to detail and respect for cleanliness ? they cleaned the entire area thoroughly after finishing the job, leaving everything neat and organized. Their team was polite, calm, and very easy to deal with. They worked smoothly and quietly without creating unnecessary noise or disturbance, which made the whole experience comfortable and stress-free. I also appreciated their professional and legal payment process through bank checks, which added an extra level of trust and reliability. I highly recommend SZ Home Construction? to anyone looking for honest, professional, and high-quality home service work."

"Very pleasant and thorough in their work. They were quick in painting but did an excellent job on our room even though it was a custom request. We had them apply some conductive paint to two walls for EMF protection, then paint the entire room a new color. They reviewed the materials on how to properly apply it and completed the work in two weekend afternoons (Saturday and Sunday). Reasonable price for the work. We are pleased."

"Initially, my tasks involved only replacing an ice-damage door and sill, plus replacing siding on an old, small addition.  When he came to do an estimate, Jake made some other suggestions for cosmetic repairs and gutter replacements, to which I agreed, and which understandably boosted the cost.  The original time estimate was 3 days.
After the old siding was removed, a problem with one wall of the foundation was apparent and required replacement, which interfered with the schedule and thus needed a new time to completion (an extra week) and extra cost.  I did not doubt the necessity for this.
Jake is easy to deal with and flexible with working around my schedule since I insist that I be here.

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Space deck handrail posts four to six feet apart. If the posts are more than six feet apart, the railing will be less able to withstand lateral forces and is more susceptible to breaking. Additionally, railing posts that are more than six feet apart may not be up to code, and you may face fines and be required to reinstall the posts to bring them up to code.

Pavers are a great decking option for pools. They’re customizable, come in a variety of shapes, sizes, colors, textures, materials, and price points, and they’re slip-resistant. Concrete pool decks, on the other hand, are harder to repair and replace if damaged and aren’t as slip-resistant as most paver materials. However, not all pavers are equal in terms of durability, maintenance, and performance. Pavers also have their own cons that may encourage homeowners to opt for stamped concrete instead, such as higher upfront costs.

Yes, it is possible to build a small, basic deck for $5,000, particularly if you use less expensive materials and a simple design. To stay within this budget, consider a size under 10x12 feet and use affordable materials like pressure-treated wood or cedar. While the general cost for deck building ranges from $4,350 to $12,560, with an average around $8,200, some projects can be completed for as little as $4,350. You can also save on labor costs by doing the work yourself, but be aware that mistakes could end up costing more than hiring a professional. A contractor may have a higher upfront cost, but they can ensure a safe, stable deck that will last.

Deck stairs should have at least three stringers rather than two. The recommended minimum width for stairs is 36 inches, and the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors recommends at least three cut stringers to provide sufficient support on wood decking stairs of this width. Generally, stringers should be a maximum of 16 inches apart for wood decking and 12 inches apart for more flexible composite decking.

A sunroom is worth installing on a deck, both for the value and your own enjoyment. A Florida room addition costs between $10,000 and $140,000, so it’s pretty expensive. However, a quality sunroom can offer a 50% return on investment, making your home more sellable. Plus, if it’s a space you and your family enjoy relaxing in daily for years to come, it’s worth the money, time, and effort, even without the added monetary value.
