We are family owned business operating for over 20yrs. We have completed thousands of projects. We have a great reputation for quality, communicating, and fast. Our pricing is competitive too and we continue to have repeated customers.

"Gus came and quoted a few jobs back in September 2020. He wasn't the cheapest and he was very pleasant and reponsive on the quotes. He also was very professional during that time. Gus delayed the project twice prior to starting saying that another job was taking longer than expected. After Gus started in mid-October he was here by 9am every day starting out. Following that he would show up later and later and later and although slow progress was being made he never really showed any motivation to complete the work. As the project went on I paid all invoices within a day and was punctual with any questions that he had. Gus finished some of the bathrooms but there were still some major punchlist items needing fixed. He did not caulk appropriately around the tub and wainscoting. The plumbing work and drywall were both shoddy and needed repaired. I asked for items to be fixed and it was never done. Eventually after having to ask for Gus to fix the bad work he just stopped showing up. I continued to ask for a schedule of return to work for 2 weeks. After which, Gus did the same thing as the other reviewer and sent a cease and desist letter and an invoice for an additional $3500 for work that he said was done (it wasn't) and work he said was agreed to (it wasn't). On top of that I had already paid him over $17K in deposits for the work which he never completed nor started. All in all he was trying to scam me for over $20K. Luckily I paid with a credit card and was able to get reimbursed. Now I am stuck with a total of $6000 to repair the work he already completed, this repair cost us more than his original work. I would not recommend."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

The main cause of a rotting porch post is prolonged exposure to moisture. So, the best way to prevent rot is to eliminate and guard against moisture.

  • Use wood caulk to seal any cracks, openings, or areas along the post where water is likely to pool.

  • Secure porch posts into concrete, if possible.

  • Cover wooden posts with protective sleeves or wraps, often made of vinyl.

  • Install metal post anchors for extra support.

Deck skirting shouldn’t touch the ground, especially if you have a wood deck, which is vulnerable to moisture. Ideally, you should leave at least 3/4 of an inch of space between the deck skirting and the ground for more ventilation. Pros also recommend that you incorporate about 1 square foot of space for ventilation for the underside of the deck to every 150 square feet of decking. Proper ventilation prevents mold growth and rot that can damage your deck.

Learning how to fix water-damaged or swollen wood is possible, but it won’t always work if there is significant warping or structural damage that was caused by the water. Cosmetic issues such as nicks, bubbling and peeling can often be fixed by using an iron, sanding, or using wood filler.

Regular inspections, cleaning, and sealing wood components prevent premature wear and structural damage.

Lattice should not touch the ground, as it creates a possibility for rot and a termite infestation. It’s best to leave a gap of 3 or 4 inches at the bottom for airflow and to keep the wood dry. You can add stones, bricks, or other decorative pieces to conceal the bottom of the lattice if desired.
