"I hired Cami Inc. to work on several plumbing issues in my apartment including reattaching my kitchen faucet, repairing a damaged drain assembly and reattaching the water line to my refrigerator’s ice maker. I also had Endri take a look at my bathroom, which had its own drainage issues, and he cleaned out a clogged pipe there. From the very first communication to the job’s completion, I found Endri to be a true professional. He provided answers to the problems and explanationed the solutions employed. He was as on time, easy to communicate with, and his pricing was reasonable. Best of all, he stands by his work. I’ll definitely be keeping Cami Inc. in mind for future plumbing and other maintenance/home improvement projects."

"Aldo and his crew were an amazing handyman team. They replaced and treated our walls that had rain damage. They also painted the walls and matched the color perfectly. They fixed the leaking faucet and replaced the wood under the sink. In addition, they replaced the doors and replaced the water heater. This was all done in a timely manner and was efficient. I am very happy with the work done by Aldo and his team."

"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."

"Absolutely wonderful! Daler arrived early and started work immediately, removing the old air conditioner and installing the new one with conscientious attention to detail and great care to do so without damaging the window frame. His young daughter Robia was also there, handing Daler the correct tools and paying close attention to his work; she is already a top-notch assistant to her Dad! The AC is now securely installed and Daler also took the time to install weather-stripping when he noticed that our window frame was just a tiny bit uneven. Both Daler and Robia were courteous, caring, and truly professional. We would be delighted to hire D & R Repair for future projects!"

"Excellent.  Have used before and would not hesitate to use again.  They do not leave anything half-way done - everything perfect.  The men who work with Nick and his head construction planned, Rene, are very professional as well as friendly and cooperative.  The had to put up with a big dog "greeting" them, flights of steps, etc.  Everything went as planned and better."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Applying too much sealer to a deck might seem like extra protection, but it can cause more harm than good. Wood is a porous material with a limited capacity to absorb liquids. When you go overboard with sealer, the excess can't soak in and instead forms a film on the surface. This leftover layer is prone to peeling, cracking, and trapping moisture, ultimately defeating the purpose of sealing in the first place. 

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.

Pressure-treated decks last 15 to 20 years on average, but with proper maintenance, you could get 40 to 50 years of value from yours. Reseal your deck every one to two years, and replace old or rotted wood as soon as possible to avoid structural damage. Where you live plays a role in the lifespan of your deck. Intense sunlight, rainfall, wind, and hail can reduce the deck’s lifespan.

Composite decking may never warp, or it may warp quickly. Several factors can influence the rate of warping, including the material's quality, installation method, and installation location. Generally speaking, high-quality materials that have been installed properly are drastically less prone to warping.

In most cases, your deck will need some form of deck footing to hold it in place, preventing moisture from rotting your wood and decreasing your deck’s lifespan. Concrete deck blocks are the most common type of footing for floating decks. Some homeowners use ground-level deck footings. For added security, consider digging and laying your ground-level footings below ground.
