"I hired Long Island handyman construction group to remodel a 400sf basement and bathroom in Melville. They were priced in the middle compared to other bids. I picked them thanks to their out of the box advice which saved me thousands of dollars. There was one problem with the plumbing which cost an extra 1800 dollars. The owner settled with me 50/50 even though it was a pre-existing issue. The project was started early and completed early. All mess was cleaned up and the crew was very friendly and fully aware. Very reputable guys and very easy to deal with. Thanks Moises and Eddy."
"I recently had the interior of my home painted, including 5 rooms, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Dwayne was professional, punctual, and paid close attention to detail from start to finish. The walls look smooth, clean, and perfectly finished, and the lines around the trim and ceilings were sharp and neat. He took his time to properly prep the rooms, kept everything clean throughout the process, and completed the job in a timely manner. The color came out beautiful, and the entire space feels fresh and transformed. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking for quality interior painting. Excellent work, great communication, and very reliable!"
"They did an incredible job, very professional, respectful, clean, and thorough. It was the best experience we had with a repair company. The person who came was very accommodating and pleasant. Great company, I will definitely be contacting you again for any other repair services!"
"We used Hugo and Polanco Brothers last April for a Spring Cleanup, and we were in desperate need for one this season, but had to wait until June to get it done. We called him to return to do the job again and we have to say he continues to provide the Best Landscape Maintenance Experience Imaginable. There was a tree that needed to be removed this time, as well as a major clean up and lawn care in the front and back yards. They worked non stop for three hours and made the property look as if we had just moved in. An INCREDIBLE job. They were completely professional, prompt, and thorough. They did little things we didn't even ask for, like move our firewood pile, remove all debris, and make everything so neat and clean, it was stunning. And this, all for exactly the price that was quoted in the estimate. WHICH WAS INCREDIBLY LOW for the amount of work. The value / cost ratio was first rate. You don't get this kind of friendly and expert service for this kind of price. Never once did he try to up sell us, or suggest something that we hadn't asked for. We will NEVER use anyone else. They are absolutely the best at what they do. You CANNOT do wrong if you choose Hugo and The Polanco Brothers."
"Skilled contractor knew exactly what I wanted, was clean, punctual and polite. I have recommend his services many times. Definitely a number you donâ t want to lose.!"
"Gulf2Bay did an excellent job. Our roof was covered in moss & mold. After G2B completed their work, my roof looked new again. They did an excellent job power washing & cleaning our vinyl siding. They also cleaned our paver patio and composite wood deck. Both looked great. Several neighbors commented how great our house looked after G2B completed their work. It should be noted that they showed up promptly on the date scheduled and abided by the COVID recommendations."
"Considering painting, spackling or home improvement, look no further than Pride. Brian, Penny, and the crew are all personable and professional. Brian is a true artist with a brush who insists upon perfection and customer satisfaction. His attention to detail is just the icing on the cake. Did I mention the little extras he threw in without an additional charge? I rely on a lot of reviews when I research items or contractors, and every review I read about Pride was better then the last, and I found them to be 100% accurate. They certainly live up to the name of their company."
"The entire team was professional, knowledgeable and a pleasure to deal with. Joe answered everyone of my calls and believe me there where a lot! Every question and concern was addressed and the clean up after WOW!! My deck is our favorite place to be and it?s due to the expertise of this company."
"They were great, big improvement from previous window cleaning service I had used in the past. Took screens completely off and cleaned both sides, all work was neat and meticulous. Would use them again without hesitation."
Routine cleaning, sealing/staining, and inspection prolong deck life and appearance.
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.
Yes, an elevated deck can increase a home's resale value. Homeowners can expect a 65% return on investment from the cost of a second-story deck installation. For example, if you spend $5,000 to install a second-story deck, that deck will add $3,250 to the value of your home.
It is possible to pressure wash your deck, but it’s usually best to leave the work to a professional for two main reasons. First, power washers are expensive, and you can avoid high upfront costs by hiring a deck washing pro instead. Second, you must be careful to use the correct setting to avoid damaging your deck material. You can only clean soft woods like pine with a wide spray and a low pressure; otherwise, the water will leave unpleasant marks on your deck. Hard woods, composite material, and metal can stand up to increasingly higher water pressures.
To flatten a cupped deck board, start by ensuring it’s dry. Then, try flipping the board over so the cupped side faces down and reattach it. If that’s not possible, you can use screws to pull it tighter to the joists or plane the edges slightly to reduce the cup. It’s best to replace severely cupped boards.
