Petar is an incredibly kind and considerate person who made sure to check-in at every step making sure we were comfortable and happy with the work he was providing.

"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."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

If you want to make a deck cleaner from products already in your home, there are various options. The most common is to use a gentle blend of 1 gallon of warm water and 2 tablespoons of ammonia-free dish soap. You can also mix water with distilled vinegar. Sprinkling on some baking soda can help to remove mold and mildew. You can add oxygen bleach (but never damaging chlorine bleach) to the water and ammonia-free dish soap solution for something a bit stronger. 

You should refinish your deck to maintain its appearance, durability, and longevity. Refinishing your deck protects the wood from foot traffic and the elements. It also helps extend its life span by keeping rot, mildew, and termites at bay. By maintaining your deck, you can avoid the cost of replacing your deck sooner. A refinished deck also looks great and restores some of its original beauty.

Yes, deck footings typically require an inspection before laying down concrete. While not all local building codes require footing inspection, proper placement ensures a safe and structurally sound deck. An inspector will verify that the deck can adequately hold what you put on top of it., and that the footings have been dug to the correct dimensions.

It’s important to make sure the wood on a new deck is properly seasoned. Seasoning a deck is simple: Once you build it (or have a pro do so), just leave it alone so it can acclimate to the environment. If you don’t give the deck proper seasoning time before staining, the stain can lock in any lingering moisture and cause mold, rot, and other moisture issues down the road. Give the wood at least four to eight weeks to season before you stain.

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.
