"Micah Dean came out and gave me an estimate.  When it came to discussion of replacement plantings he did not seem to be very knowledgeable.  He suggested including day lillies.  I requested varied colors.  He said he didn't think they were available.  Oakland Nursery nearby has at least six colors and online, dozens of colors can be found.  Oh well, his estimate was considerably lower than others so I signed on the dotted line...even prepaid so that the work could be done if I was not in town.  Micah promised to call at least the night before to let me know when they were coming.  He called on the Morning of the 24th and said they were on their way to my house.  I was an hour and a half away at the time and so by the time I loaded up and came home they were almost finished.  They had not done some of the work around the deck but had done a lot of other stuff that had not been discussed.  That part looked great so I said fine but I still wanted the work around the deck done.  The work crew was pretty defensive saying that they only do what their boss tells them.....okay, that's fine.  I called Micah and he came out later that night and finished the job.  Obviously he did not supervise his crew......and I didn't get back in time to oversee or this could all have been prevented.  Quality of the plantings was not the greatest.  Plants were unevenly spaced with several too close together and some of not very good quality.  Their estimate was by far the lowest of the three I received so I guess I got my money's worth but if you hire these people, just know that you are getting bargain work for a bargain price.

"They did an excellent job and found an issue with my gutter guard that needs addressed. I was not aware of this problem and I am glad to know so that I can have it fixed. It is probably the cause of moisture my brother noticed in my crawl space!"

"Jim & Ben were on it... and the den now looks great! It was a dark worn wood look and now it's fresh and beautiful! Fantastic job! Jim recommended (in changing dark wood to a light color) to caulk all cracks and that was a tremendous suggestion. Everything was sprayed and they used Sherwin Williams Emerald paint...the primer and new coats of paint are smooth, even and very professionally done...really awesome! Jim even came back after the job was completed to touch-up and make it extra nice! Please, take our advise, get a quote from Jim BEFORE you give the job out...you won't be disappointed:)"

"He was wonderful. He fixed a top drawer in a chest of drawers, I think he is the 3rd or 4th person that has looked at it to repair. It was difficult to find a comparable part, we now have a drawer that we haven't been able to use for years. He thought outside the box in terms of fixing the dresser. He was terrific and was willing to get parts and come back out right away."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

No. In most cases, it’s not colder or freezing temperatures that affect decking materials but the amount of moisture that seeps into the materials as a result. For example, wood decking material is more likely to suffer from rot or decay when exposed to excess moisture from snow or ice. An extreme change in temperature can cause wood to expand or contract, but only if it’s not properly treated beforehand.

A random orbital sander is best for sanding a deck because it is easier to handle than other power sanders and is less likely to damage the wood. Most decks are made of types of softwood, so a gentler sanding process is essential to prevent permanent blemishes. For example, belt sanders can gouge softwoods.

When installing deck boards, screws are generally a better option than nails. Screws offer superior holding strength over time, keeping the boards securely in place. In contrast, nails are more likely to pop out, which can create a tripping hazard. While you can use either, we recommend using 3-inch galvanized deck screws. To minimize the risk of cracking the wood, it's a good practice to drill small pilot holes before driving the screws into the deck joists.

Ideally, a gate should be able to swing both in and out. However, if it can only open in one direction, it is generally best for it to swing inward. This is often the safest option, especially for deck gates near steps, as you'll want the gate to swing away from the stairs. An inward swing also prevents the gate from opening into a public space, like a sidewalk, and can be more convenient when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

There are exceptions, however. The layout of your property may require a different approach. For example, if your property is on a slope, the gate may not be able to swing inward. You should also ensure the gate can open fully without colliding with any objects or blocking access to other areas. For a backyard garden gate where public access isn't a concern, the direction it swings is largely a matter of personal preference. Finally, always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements for which way a gate must swing.

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.
