"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 FAQs, answered by experts

A deck doesn’t have to be perfectly level. Many pros even recommend a gentle slope to ensure proper drainage and increase longevity. The ideal gentle slope is about 1/8 to 1/4 inch per foot away from the property, leading water away from the home to prevent pooling and reduce the risk of damage. It also minimizes rot, mold, and other moisture-related problems. 

Pavers are a great decking option for pools. They’re customizable, come in a variety of shapes, sizes, colors, textures, materials, and price points, and they’re slip-resistant. Concrete pool decks, on the other hand, are harder to repair and replace if damaged and aren’t as slip-resistant as most paver materials. However, not all pavers are equal in terms of durability, maintenance, and performance. Pavers also have their own cons that may encourage homeowners to opt for stamped concrete instead, such as higher upfront costs.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

Pressure-treated lumber is one of the most affordable types of decking upfront. This material is widely available, so you can usually find pressure-treated lumber at almost any local home improvement store you visit. Keep in mind that wood requires a lot of upkeep with repainting and restaining, so any kind of wood may be more expensive in the long run than something like PVC decking.

A quality, well-maintained PVC decking can last 30 to 50 years. It’s known for being one of the most durable types of decking materials, with composite decking having a 25- to 30-year average lifespan and some softwood deckings only lasting 10 to 15 years. Luxury hardwood decks like Ipe may last longer than PVC decking, but they can cost more and require more maintenance.
