"Dave was very pleasant. He came to the house, gave me an estimate and started on the day we agreed. Project was a two day project, he came in the morning and worked the second day until the project was completed. If you have any opportunity to work with him you will be pleased. "

"I can't delete my solicited review from 2/2023, unfortunately. I paid Arron in full for a bathroom remodel and a screened in porch. He would disappear for months between contact, always had a dramatic excuse that would conflict with what he already said, and did this whole "aw, shucks" nice guy routine, always "dismayed" about someone else's ineptitude that led him to behave this way. He ended up disappearing after cobbing together some of the work. Outreach attempts go ignored. I've had to hire other people to come fix the disaster that he caused, and I will end up spending thousands to make it right. The shoddy work notwithstanding (who says that they can do a bathroom remodel when they don't even know to use plumber's tape around fixtures - flooded my basement), the job was not completed and Arron is busy soliciting other people to pay him while ignoring his obligation to us after I (naively) paid in full up front."

"Job left incomplete, preparation steps were skipped resulting in poor results. In error, Mr. Williams was paid in full and has never returned. Communication was full of excuses and false promises of follow up, which resulted in no show appointments. Now refuses to respond to any form of communication. Job still incomplete, we are pursuing small claims court as a result."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

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.

Although composite decking is extremely durable, it’s also susceptible to extreme heat. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause fading, warping, and cracking. Composite also retains heat more than wood, which makes it dangerous to walk on in the summer. You can help prevent heat damage by only building with composite in shaded areas or using rugs to cover the hottest spots.

Most two-person porch swings are rated to hold up to 500 pounds or more. However, each swing manufacturer has its own recommended weight limits, with some as low as 250 pounds while others are as high as 800 pounds. Always double-check the manufacturer’s guide and stay within the recommended range when in doubt.

Porticos last 25 to 60 years, depending on the material used. A portico’s roof typically matches the roof of the rest of the home and can be replaced simultaneously. Portico columns have a similar life span if properly maintained and regularly sealed. In some areas, harsh weather and extreme temperatures may cause a portico to wear more quickly.

While building your deck, you might come across something called the four-inch sphere rule. Essentially, this railing requirement for a deck states that a four-inch ball should not be able to fit through any gap in the deck railings. The gap between spindles and between the decking and the bottom of the railing must be less than four inches to prevent small children or pets from squeezing through the gap.
