"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!"

"We needed maintenance for our recently purchased home, which included cleanup of hedges, removal of dead and stray bushes, and mulch placed in all flower beds. The Services was quick, thorough, and professional. Formal contract signed in advance of work done. We will use them again. The only negative was the communication when actually trying to schedule the service."

Customers say: Quality work

"Steve & Sons Home Improvement was recommended by a good friend. Steve, Jr. returned our call promptly and came by the next day to give us an estimate, which was within our budget. He and his crew were exceptionally hard workers, nice people and the workmanship was great. They paid attention to every detail and Steve, Jr. was there to be sure we were happy with the job. In fact, we were so happy that we then asked for an estimate to replace our roof. Once again Steve, Jr. gave us an estimate within our budget and completed the job promptly. We would highly recommend Steve, Jr. and his crew!!!!!"

"We have a front porch which had been neglected and we needed to repair it and wanted to paint Nick did both some exterior painting and repairs on our front porch as well as some plastering and painting of a bedroom ceiling. We contacted Nick, and though it did take him some time to schedule a work date with us, he explained that the delay was due to unforeseen circumstances. Once we scheduled a date, the lead painter on the job contacted us and gave us his contact number. The painters arrived on time and work was completed within the expected time frame. The men were courteous and took care to cover areas of the porch and to clean as they worked in order to prevent paint chips from migrating into the neighbor's yard.
The interior work was completed quickly as well. Everything went as expected and the porch deck is much improved from what it had been."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Before installing a deck, you must build a base for the deck to rest upon, often made of compacted soil or gravel. While gravel is an optional material, it helps with drainage. Some contractors also recommend installing a weed control membrane, which helps provide a solid foundation for the frame. In the case of an elevated deck, a pro will often lay down a concrete slab as a foundation. 

Deck repairs cost around $800 to $3,500 . However, your cost depends on the type and severity of the repair, as well as the type of decking material you have. Other factors, like location and labor costs, impact the price, too. Boards and railings are the priciest parts of a deck to repair, while loose stairs are less expensive to fix.

Always sand a deck before repainting so the wood is smooth and ready for paint. While you do not need to fully remove paint before repainting, sanding helps remove any areas with weather and sun damage. Sanding also helps remove chipped or flaking paint and opens the wood pores to improve paint adhesion.

In general, you need a footing at each corner of your deck, and within 8 feet of each other. So, how many you need depends on the size and shape of your deck, plus any local building codes. It also depends on factors like the load capacity of your soil and the weight of your deck. You can find a footing calculator online or contact a pro for support.

Footings for ground-level decks need to be at least 12 inches deep, and some areas require them to be even deeper. A standard range for deck footings is anywhere from 12 to 48 inches. The minimum footing depth is determined by an area’s frost line and soil conditions. If you’re unsure how deep to install deck footings, check local building codes to find the minimum footing depth in your area.
