"Awesome team of workers. Jimmy came out to assess and price, and Chet helped us prioritize and find ways to meet our highest priorities. After 2-3 weeks of heavy rain, 4 roofers showed up to repair/replace broken slate tiles, seal valleys, and clean gutters. It was amazing to watch them work. Each roofer was down to earth, kind, and focused on the job at hand. Thank you!"

They did another deck on the block and when I asked for him to look at mine to estimate it he did right away and within 2 days he was on my deck to work ASAP and it came out great!!! I am very pleased with them!!! I would most definitely recommend them! I am already looking into another home project soon and would definitely use them again. Thank you again."

"I was very happy with the work done. The worker arrived early! I explained all the work required and he went straight to work and never even took a break. He was very knowledgeable and detail oriented. He saved us so much time and aggravation if we were to do the job ourselves. He was also very friendly, courteous and professional. We were even able to add on the mounting of some floating shelves to the job after he finished the initial agreed upon job. We would definitely use their services again. I highly recommend them."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Coping is the material that lines the perimeter of a pool and seals the transition between the top of the pool wall and the water. Decking surrounds the poolscape and extends far beyond the water's edge to provide a safe walking and lounging area. In short, coping is the border between the decking and the pool itself.

The best way to clean your decking is to clear debris from the gaps between the boards, sweep the surface, rinse it, apply cleaner, rinse again, and let it dry fully. A homemade deck cleaner made of two gallons of warm water and 1/2 cup vinegar is a simple cleaning solution for both wood and composite decking. You can sprinkle baking soda on any spots with mold or mildew, then scrub the area and rinse clean. 

For a 12x20-foot (240-square-foot) deck, you can expect to pay between $7,200 and $14,400. This cost is based on a general price of $30 to $60 per square foot. The final price will depend on factors such as the decking material, design complexity, deck type, location, and local labor costs. Keep in mind that add-ons will increase the total; for example, adding an under-deck drainage system to a deck of this size could cost an additional $7,700.

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.

The best direction for a gate to swing depends on its location and purpose, but swinging inward is the general rule. An inward swing is often considered safer, prevents the gate from opening into public spaces like a sidewalk, and may be required by local building codes.

There are exceptions and specific considerations. If your property is on a slope, an inward swing might not be possible. For a deck gate, it's safest to have it swing away from any steps. In a backyard, the direction can be a matter of preference, though an inward swing can be helpful when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

Regardless of direction, ensure the gate can open fully without hitting any objects or blocking spaces. While an inward swing is standard, a gate that can swing both in and out offers the most flexibility if your setup allows for it.
