"We are very happy we went with Olsen Renovations. Their pricing was very reasonable and the work was efficient. We had to replace the attic louver and also secure it that the raccoon cannot break back in. Olsen understood our concerns and reinforced it with a mesh wire before installing the new louver. Also they no longer make my old louver, he was able to modify and the work was perfect. It looks a a whole louver. I would choose them again for any future work needed on my house. Christine C."

"Shiny Solutions did a wonderful job at my home. Not only were they extremely accommodating, they were obviously paying a lot of attention to the small details that people in this business often ignore. I can guarantee they have earned my business as a loyal customer. If I could give them 10 stars I would!"

Customers say: Quality work

"We used Hugo and Polanco Brothers last April for a Spring Cleanup, and we were in desperate need for one this season, but had to wait until June to get it done. We called him to return to do the job again and we have to say he continues to provide the Best Landscape Maintenance Experience Imaginable. There was a tree that needed to be removed this time, as well as a major clean up and lawn care in the front and back yards. They worked non stop for three hours and made the property look as if we had just moved in. An INCREDIBLE job. They were completely professional, prompt, and thorough. They did little things we didn't even ask for, like move our firewood pile, remove all debris, and make everything so neat and clean, it was stunning. And this, all for exactly the price that was quoted in the estimate. WHICH WAS INCREDIBLY LOW for the amount of work. The value / cost ratio was first rate. You don't get this kind of friendly and expert service for this kind of price. Never once did he try to up sell us, or suggest something that we hadn't asked for. We will NEVER use anyone else. They are absolutely the best at what they do. You CANNOT do wrong if you choose Hugo and The Polanco Brothers."

"It all started with a cedar wood deck that was rotting in several places. Because of his excellent reputation, I asked John Mignone of Timeless decks to come by and quote what it would take to repair the deck. After looking at the deck, John was able to show me that there were many more problem areas on the deck that needed urgent attention. I decided that it was time to replace the deck with one made from the new engineered materials. We liked the design of the old deck and asked John to quote the replacement. John came back with what was a very fair quote for ripping out the old deck and installing the new deck. We did request one significant change from the old deck and that was a cable railing system by a company called Feeney from California. Even though he had not worked with this railing company before, John was able to handle the logistics of defining the material requirements, getting the product in and installing it, at a reasonable additional cost. I asked John if he could also replace the rotting cedar wood fence around the pool pump and filter area. He quoted us a low maintenance fence that blended in very well with the pavers that we have around the pool. The fence was installed without any hitch at a fair price. My brick walkway to the house was also a problem because some bricks had shifted and they could possibly cause a person to trip and fall, a liability issue. I asked John if he knew anybody who could replace the walkway. It turns out that he had learned masonry skills from a master, his father. So, considering how well the other parts of our project had gone, I decided to go ahead with John’s proposal to replace the brick walkway and front stoop with new pavers. We agreed on a price and the new walkway was installed after we selected the pavers that we liked and the pattern that we wanted. The walkway is wide and level now and it looks 100% better than what we had there before. Overall, John was very easy to work with and the new deck and railing look beautiful. The pool area fence is no longer an eyesore, and the walkway actually has some real curb appeal. The first impression of friends that have come by has been “Wow, your new deck and walkway look great.” Needless to say, we are very pleased with the way the projects were done and we would recommend Timeless Decks to anyone."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

The proper and most comfortable height for a deck stair riser, also called a step, is between four and seven inches. A height of seven inches is often considered ideal for a strain-free step that minimizes the risk of trips and falls. While it is possible to have risers up to 12 inches, this height can be challenging for children, pets, or individuals with mobility issues. For optimal safety and comfort, pair a seven-inch riser with a tread depth (or run) of at least 10 to 12 inches. Always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements that differ from these general recommendations.

Most building codes require that railing spindles (also known as balusters) on decks or stairs be spaced no more than four inches apart. This safety standard is often called the '4-inch sphere rule,' which means a sphere with a 4-inch diameter should not be able to pass through the opening between balusters. This rule is in place to prevent small children and pets from slipping through the railing. For the same reason, the space between the bottom rail and the deck or floor surface should also be no more than four inches. As a general guideline, professionals often install three balusters per foot of railing. However, since specific requirements can vary by location, it is essential to check your local building codes to ensure compliance before starting your project.

Both composite and PVC decking are excellent alternatives to wood. However, while composite is moderately priced and lasts around 30 years, PVC costs more and lasts longer. PVC is also more durable, though both materials are more durable than wood decking. Ultimately, the choice between composite and PVC decking will come down to your budget and preferences.

A deck is typically attached to a house and accessed via the back door. Decks are usually constructed from wood or composite materials. A terrace, on the other hand, is a raised platform that can be attached to or detached from the house and is typically made from a hard-paved material, such as paving stones. Terraces can be built on the ground or on the roof of a home.

Some elevated decks require stairs that lead to the ground level per the local fire codes in some municipalities. In other regions, a staircase is an optional feature that can increase accessibility and convenience for homeowners who want ground-level access to their deck. Additionally, a staircase is necessary if your home doesn't have an existing door leading to the deck.
