"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."

Deck Maintenance FAQs, answered by experts

Local building codes don’t specify the number of steps a deck can have before a railing is required, mainly because stair height varies widely. Most areas require decks 30 inches or higher to have a railing. While not exact, that roughly equates to four to seven steps.

Liquid rubber is great for waterproofing, but it can damage your deck if it’s not applied correctly. First, it can trap moisture in the wood if the deck isn’t completely dry before application.  Second, applying it too thickly can create a heavy, rubbery surface layer that peels and cracks under fluctuating temperatures. For the best results, ensure the wood is completely dry before application, and apply the liquid rubber in thin, even coats. A quick inspection every now and then will help you catch any issues early, keeping your deck protected and looking its best.

To maximize the utility of space under a deck, it’s important to keep this area dry and clean. One way to prevent the area from becoming too wet is to install an under-deck draining system. This affordable home upgrade channels water away from the deck and provides usable space for storage or a functional area below a second-story deck. Not only will this be a useful maintenance upgrade, it can boost your home’s property value.

The cost to repair a deck is between $900 and $3,500, depending on the cause and extent of the damage. For example, fixing a sinking deck caused by pest damage can cost between $200 and $600, while replacing sinking boards costs between $500 and $4,000.

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.
