"My husband and I happily bought the house in which I had been raised, after having rented it out for 12 years.  It is a lovely house, but was left with striking problems. The wrap-around front porch columns and railings had many thick layers of lead paint, with numerous chunks chipped out down to the wood.  My memories of summers sanding the porch in preparation for my father's painting of it, raised a lot of sadness in me about the terrible painting maintenance of more recent years.
After considering several bids, we  chose to work with Nick Montagnese of iPaint because of his total appreciation of our concerns, but also of our limited budget. He researched every paint stripping method and priced each, which made it clear that we could only smooth out the severe patches by hand. Lead paint removal is dangerous unless done legally by certain methods, some of which are extremely expensive ($50,000 for our porch!).
Nick's workers were wonderful. They all were as invested as Nick in giving us a beautifully repaired and painted home. The men spent weeks chipping loose paint off the columns and railings, and never left any of it for us to discard. They cleaned up every day. They used new filler products that allowed the following coats of paint to be totally smooth. This spectacular upgrade of our porch is outstanding.  Many passers by and friends stopped to compliment the change, and a driver even stopped to take photos out his car window! Others wrote down iPaint's sign info.  All of the repairs, including lattice around the house, were skillfully done by Nick's crew, some by his competent carpenters. The entire paint job, from shingles to shutters to woodwork to lattice to porch is excellent.
Nick's crew is a very competent, responsible, and happy group of men who enjoy working together.  They were actually invested in producing a beautifully painted home for us, taking pride in their work. They appreciated every cup of coffee and donut, and were wonderful to have around!  All of the positive comments of other iPaint customers are true about Nick and his workers.
This job was a reach for us financially, but was well worth it and not unfair when considering the quality of the work and the increased value of our home. Because of our budget, Nick had broken down the various parts of the overall job into the costs of each. We were able to choose what parts we could afford now, with a plan to complete other parts at a later date, such as more shutters.
We cannot more confidently recommend Nick and his workers. Nick is a good person who listened to our needs and limits and was creative and caring in helping us get an even better product than we had imagined was possible.  iPaint deserves an A+!"

"We are very happy with the services provided by AAA Custom Painting. Andres was very friendly, professional and detail oriented. We had our shutters and garage doors repainted along with some additional exterior trim in Oct. 2016 and have been very happy with the results. Our 30+ year old garage doors look new again! We would recommend AAA to any of our friends and neighbors."

"I was extremely pleased with the results. Mike and his dad are very professional and considerate and their work is great. Although we focused on skimcoating and painting, their skills would enable them to do any task I could imagine arising in my house. Highly recommend. (The cost I am citing in this review is the Angie's List initial deal.)"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

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.

Before installing any materials under the deck for removing moisture, you should perform some prep work on the ground. Work the dirt under the deck to create a grade away from the home. A grade of at least six inches for every 10 feet works well. Do not leave a gap between the dirt and the home’s foundation where water could pool. Once you or a contractor regrades the dirt under the deck, you then can add materials over the top.

Be careful when choosing a product to help you remove ice from your wood deck. Never use sand, gravel, or salt, since these items can damage and scratch the wood. Instead, look for chemical de-icers that are marked as safe for wood decks or use hot water to melt snow and ice.

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.

Building a deck isn't too hard if you’re handy with carpentry, have the necessary tools, and are willing to put effort into it. However, other factors, such as plans, permits, and design, can be hard if you don’t have experience in those areas.

Note: You’ll need another person to help you build the deck (especially for framing and setting the beams). Building a deck yourself will be very difficult if you don’t have an extra set of hands to help.
