"Very prompt. I think only once did he call to say they couldn't make it till a little later in the day. They were the only company after getting 4 different quotes that actually was going to do the job correctly. Paid a little more but thats why we went with them, because they weren't going to skrimp on doing it right. Was very pleased with the timing, and the quality of work that was involved. Would very much consider this company for future work!

"Good communications, we needed about 3 cubic yards of mulch for our front garden. Worked on my timeline and got the mulch installed in about 90 minutes. Cleaned up after the work was done. I had them use our wheelbarrow and rake as they had none. Just some young men just starting out. Did a good job"

"Work started incredibly late. Most work was done as agreed upon. Contractor provided a few incentives on the building for being behind schedule. However, there were several items that had to be reminded about. There were also several items that were not done, or done poorly. I had to call the contractor because of missing insulation and covering, and they never came out to repair as promised. My side yard where a trailer sat for weeks was damaged, and was not repaired. The contractor did have sub contractors."

"Maria and her team were very professional and courteous. They worked well together and hardly ever took breaks. This team hand brushed the entire house and it looks great. Clean-up was well done too. Maria was one of the only painters in the area that was willing to work us into her very busy schedule. She knew we had a very strict timeline and the job had to be finished quickly (we had renters arriving). Despite all the rain we had last week and an unfortunate personal issue, they got the job done just in time. I'm grateful for Maria and her team and their diligence. We would recommend this team and would definitely hire them again. Thanks Maria!

"Same dsy service for December gutter cleaning. Mike (?) was great and did a wonderful job, only downside is that I felt they were kind of pricy but I have been using a local guy who is currently injured so I went elsewhere and maybe Im not aware of todayâ s prices."

"They did exactly what they promised, but they were really not a pleasure to work with. They came out. They didn't make it out for about three days. They solved the problem, but I can't say it was pleasant. They did what they did, but I wouldn't hire them again. He called me on a Wednesday, but he didn't make it out to the house until like Saturday. He just talked non-stop and he was kind of frustrating to work with. He fixed the problem in about two hours, but was not pleasant to work with. They did the job for no additional cost. There was some difficulty scheduling."

"There were multiple jobs that I had them do. Drywall repairs and painting of our deck and bedrooms. At first I was put off on the price but having someone previously do a poor job we decided on working with Nick and his team. My husband and I are very happy with their work."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Composite decking may never warp, or it may warp quickly. Several factors can influence the rate of warping, including the material's quality, installation method, and installation location. Generally speaking, high-quality materials that have been installed properly are drastically less prone to warping.

The average cost to professionally clean or pressure wash a deck is around $150, with prices typically ranging from $100 to $600. Several factors influence the final price, including the deck's size, material, condition, and how long it has been since its last cleaning. For a smaller deck of about 300 square feet, you might pay around $100. For a larger deck of 1,000 square feet or more, the cost could be closer to $300 to $400. Decks that are very dirty or haven't been cleaned in years may require more time and special detergents, which will increase the price. The deck's material also plays a role. Wood decks often cost more to clean because they require a gentle power washing technique to avoid damage. Composite decks are typically less expensive to clean, and cleaning a metal deck may cost around $100.

Building codes for deck railings can vary by location, so it's important to consult your local regulations before construction. Generally, a guardrail is required for any deck that is more than 30 inches above the ground.

For residential properties, the standard minimum height for a deck railing is 36 inches. However, some states and municipalities have stricter requirements; for example, California and Washington mandate railings that are at least 42 inches high. Therefore, a 42-inch railing is not considered too high and may be required in your area or chosen voluntarily for additional safety.

In addition to height requirements, codes also specify other safety features, such as the maximum spacing between balusters to ensure they are close enough to prevent a child from squeezing through.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

It is possible to build your own deck, but it’s typically better to leave the work to a decking professional. Decks can be exceptionally complicated, especially if you want a wrap-around or second-story deck, and you don’t want to risk making an expensive or dangerous mistake. It’s usually better to hire a decking pro who can pull permits and build a structurally sound deck that will last for decades and provide the maximum return on investment.
