"Jesse charged my elderly parents 2225 bucks to install a window unit AC into a pre-existing space in their dining room. He never wrote up an estimate, and so my parents felt cornered and coerced into paying this outlandish bill when he presented it to them. We are shocked and saddened by this entire experience."

I am a contracting professional with a 15 yr record of success overseeing all phases of painting and wood restoration projects. We have successfully serviced over 10,000 clients across Western New York. We offer high quality work at affordable prices. Our main focus is residential projects, and small to medium size commercial projects. Customer service is my number one priority

"Came to work on time, did a quality job, answered my questions and concerns completely. For this job, painting aluminum siding, Shades of Gray had the most detailed and best explanation of how the job would be done. By comparison other painting companies seemed to leave out a critical step or do the work in a way that made me question the quality of the end result. Shades of Gray inspired the most confidence that the job would be done right."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry. 

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.

Building codes vary by location, and you should always consult local codes before planning construction. Generally speaking, however, railing requirements stipulate that decks more than 30 inches off the ground need railings for safety purposes. These railings usually need to be at least 36 inches tall, although California and Washington require rails to be 42 inches or taller.

There are deck restoration products and oil-based wood stains that can help bring back some of the color and shine to your faded Trex decking. However, if your boards are suffering from serious fading due to UV rays or chemical cleaning products, don’t expect miracles. Also, these products are only suitable for use on the older Trex boards, not the capped, second-generation Trex products. 

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.
