The project was certainly way overdue, but we did not expect it to be done immediately. Ralph did not want to leave the sink in th1e condition it was, so he jumped right on it and did an amazing job!

"We are so happy with everything Brandon and his team have done for our property. We originally hired him for mowing, but because his prices were so reasonable, we decided to take him up on a full overhaul of our entire landscaping, which was a huge undertaking. We have several large flower beds that were overgrown with weeds, tons of dead tree branches and limbs that needed to come down, and many other overgrown areas. He went above and beyond on everything, and truly brought our patio, landscaping areas, and multiple walkways back to life. We feel so much better looking out our windows to our beautiful yard and we have Brandon and his hardworking team to thank for that. The first time we called him, he had someone here mowing with 25 minutes of hanging up the phone. He shows up when he says he will show up, works until everything is done, and never tried charging extra for anything, even when encountering larger problems than anticipated. Just an overall very honest and hardworking crew. We plan to retain Private and Professional Lawn Care for regular maintenance and will utilize them for all of our fall/spring clean up and other landscaping needs. Thank you so much, Brandon!"

"Andrew Wells has been a gift from God for my dire situation. I have an extremely old house which needs extensive repairs, and through Home Advisor's recommendation I hired Andrew Wells to repair numerous holes in the soffit to prevent bats and squirrels from entering my attic. So far, he has done an incredible job! I am so impressed by his honesty and devotion and reasonable prices that I intend to hire him for future repairs/work. He truly is a blessing to the field of contracting and I am most grateful that I found him through Home Advisor. Thank you!!!"

Deck Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Rotting wood, loose railings, or unstable stairs may indicate a need for expertise.

Deck boards should be spaced no more than three-eighths of an inch apart. This is enough space to allow water and small debris to pass through without collecting on the surface, but not enough to create a tripping hazard. Certain materials, like pressure-treated wood, shrink over time, so they may need less space at installation.

When installing deck boards, screws are generally a better option than nails. Screws offer superior holding strength over time, keeping the boards securely in place. In contrast, nails are more likely to pop out, which can create a tripping hazard. While you can use either, we recommend using 3-inch galvanized deck screws. To minimize the risk of cracking the wood, it's a good practice to drill small pilot holes before driving the screws into the deck joists.

Whether composite decking is better than wood depends on your priorities, especially regarding budget and maintenance. Composite decking offers superior longevity (30 to 50 years) and durability, and it is low-maintenance, requiring no sanding, staining, or sealing. In contrast, wood decks typically last 10 to 30 years and need refinishing every few years. While the upfront cost of composite is higher than wood, the reduced maintenance can lead to long-term savings. If a lower initial cost is the primary factor, wood is the more affordable choice.

No, you don’t need a permit to repair and replace a few boards on an existing deck. However, if you’re making structural changes to the deck or tearing down the old one and building a new one, you will likely need a permit. Check with your local municipality for the regulations and rules in your area, or ask a local contractor who builds decks for advice.
