Pickett's Painting is a local family-owned business based in Vestal, NY. We have over 35 years experience in all aspects of painting: interior and exterior, commercial and residential.

"Pickett's painting is a testament to how much you can get away with when you have an affable personality, DON'T BE FOOLED. I hired Ron in March 2023 and red flags flew pretty quickly when he and his helper tracked snow in many times, taped or draped nothing and dragged furniture away from walls rather than carrying. By the end of the job we had paint along carpet in all three room's trim he painted, paint on bedding, broken furniture supports from dragging, paint on outlets and light fixtures (he removed no plate or trim covers), drip marks, missed spots in all rooms, very patchy paint coverage on trim, unpatched holes, a mess left where they rinsed brushes and massive disappointment. Pickett's is a landlord special, don't hire him if you have an ounce of care for your space or value for a dollar."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Deck skirting shouldn’t touch the ground, especially if you have a wood deck, which is vulnerable to moisture. Ideally, you should leave at least 3/4 of an inch of space between the deck skirting and the ground for more ventilation. Pros also recommend that you incorporate about 1 square foot of space for ventilation for the underside of the deck to every 150 square feet of decking. Proper ventilation prevents mold growth and rot that can damage your deck.

Putting lattice under a deck will create a polished look that allows for air ventilation. You can also store items underneath as the lattice provides privacy and protection from the weather. You can also put lattice under a porch to create a polished look in the front of your house.

Several types of porches are available to meet your needs and style preferences. Some common porch types include:

  • Porticos are essentially a roof over a walkway leading to the home's front entrance. 

  • Sunrooms are closed-in porches that are an extension of the house with glass or plastic panels that allow optimal sunlight. 

  • Wraparound porches extend around the entire home, or at least the front and one side, and offer multiple entrances to the house.

  • Back porches are an extension of the home’s floor into the outdoors. These offer more protection and privacy than a deck.

Depending on how you design your balcony is the most essential factor when talking about how much your home's balcony can hold. The typical weight a balcony can support ranges between 50 and 100 pounds per square foot. However, it's possible to exceed those limitations with careful planning by a structural engineer.

Spindles on a deck may also be called balusters or pickets. While not as important to the structural support of the deck as the rail posts, they play a critical role in ensuring the deck is safe to use by closing in large gaps in the railing. For this reason, balusters must be no more than 4 inches away from one another.
