Top quality roofing and siding repair along with decking we strive for you happiness and satisfaction very small company for plenty of focus on your projects.

"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."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Vinyl is generally considered to be the best option for homeowners seeking railings that are both durable and affordable. Vinyl provides protection against the mold and rot that can develop within wood railings. Composite is another budget-friendly option. However, people building high-end decks often prefer the look of glass panels or metal rails.

We recommend hanging a porch swing at least 2.5 to 3 feet from the wall and about 17 inches above the ground to avoid damaging your home. You want enough clearance behind it and on each side of the porch swing to move around safely and avoid the chains rubbing against it.

Cutting the boards directly is one of the fastest ways to remove deck boards with hidden fasteners. Mark two parallel lines that are one-third of the total measurement on both ends and cut out the centerpiece. Then, remove the end of the board that doesn’t have a fastener. Finally, pry open the fastened side and pull it up to pop out the screw or access the fastener. This also allows you to salvage portions of boards for other projects.

Even if your deck is properly constructed with a solid foundation, it doesn’t always mean it can handle the extra weight of a sunroom. Always call in a structural engineer to perform a deck inspection to evaluate the quality and structural integrity of the deck before building. You may need to reinforce the foundations and joists, and with decks in poor condition, it might be better to tear them down and start again. A pro can help you decide.

The main cause of a rotting porch post is prolonged exposure to moisture. So, the best way to prevent rot is to eliminate and guard against moisture.

  • Use wood caulk to seal any cracks, openings, or areas along the post where water is likely to pool.

  • Secure porch posts into concrete, if possible.

  • Cover wooden posts with protective sleeves or wraps, often made of vinyl.

  • Install metal post anchors for extra support.
