"Mr. Ramsey gave full detail about the work he performed, and provided other observations that were very helpful. He repaired the ridge vent on our roof which became loose after a wind storm."

"My wife and I are new to the Lima area and recently bought a house that we can slowly work on and build up. I was advised of the company by word of mouth and I am weird when it comes to who I hire and allow in my home. They came out and were very professional, respectful of my home and family, and I appreciated the most that not only did they repair what I had asked they went above and beyond to assist in anything else I needed. I was really glad I called them and received exactly what I was hoping for. I would gladly recommend their services to anyone and will continue to do so."

"The young men who did the work were very respectful and kind. Their work was done quickly and we were involved in the decision making from the start to finish, We now have a very nice looking front ramp and porch. We appreciate their work and their attitude towards us. It is encouraging to see young men with a good can-do attitude. We are very pleased with the work."

"Very prompt initial phone call return - has materials delivered on scheduled. Work crew very good - Hardworking from start to finish. Did not require payment until job was complete and satisfactory. Now the rain will tell the rest of the story.

UPDATE-6/6/15: 

Earlier this spring, the roof began to peel and blow off. It wasn't properly secured at the edges. I called Bazell to come fix it, and they came and fiddled with it, but didn't really do much of anything helpful. Consequently, the roof has started leaking in places. He indicated to us initially that the roof should last us a good 20 years or so, but we've called and called, and he hasn't returned to really fix it. I don't think it would realistically take much more than $30 or so to repair it adequately with screws and washers."

"Codee and his team moved me from Marion to Carey, OH on June 18, 2022. They were a little bit late getting there, but that was better for me because it gave me more time to get ready for them before they got there because I was also running behind. Anyway, Codee and his team really did a great job, and they joked around and made it kind of fun, and I HATE MOVING!! We had to make 2 trips, but they were done in a timely manner. They handled my things with care, took down my curtains, took my bed and dresser apart and put them back together, and unhooked my washer and dryer and then hooked my washer back up in the new house (but I had do purchase a new plug receptacle because it was different than the plug that was on my dryer). There was a washer/dryer in the new house that I didn't need, and they even took that back to Marion for me and delivered it to the neighbor that I gave it to, WOW, how about that for service!! I was very pleased with the team, and the service was exceptional, and we had a great time. I would recommend this team/business to anyone! Bonnie B."

Deck Repair questions, answered by experts

Any wood deck provides some ventilation to the area below, as is the nature of that type of deck design. However, areas that experience excessive humidity and associated moisture benefit greatly from a dedicated ventilation system in the form of strip vents. This addition helps the various wood boards contract and expand evenly throughout the years and reduces the chances of twisting, warping, and buckling.

Yes, it is possible to add an under-deck drainage system to an existing deck by retrofitting it to the structure. This process may require some prep work. For example, many drainage systems are installed on top of the deck joists, which would require you to remove the decking boards and railings first. To avoid this, you could opt for a below-the-joist drainage system. For best results and to ensure proper installation, it is recommended to consult a professional. A pro can inspect your deck, make any necessary repairs, and then install the drainage system correctly.

You can nail or screw composite decking, but 3-inch decking screws are the better fastener choice. Unlike nails, decking screws won’t back out of the composite material over time. There’s also little danger of splitting composite material when driving screws, so you don’t need to pre-drill holes unless otherwise recommended by your decking manufacturer.

You do not have to dig footers for a deck as long as it meets local code and holds up to weather in your area. If you live somewhere that experiences high winds and earthquakes, you may need to dig for your deck posts. Deck blocks, post anchors with base plates, and helical pile systems are the three no-dig deck post options you can choose from if local code permits.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet.
