"Chris was great to work with. Bad wood was replaced on the deck. The deck was cleaned and then stained. It looks great! I'm going to have Chris quote on some work needed at a family members house."
"We had our chimney cleaned, the HVAC ducts cleaned, and the dryer vent was also cleaned. He also installed a cap on our chimney. The communication was great and the work was excellent."
"I actually had drapes cleaned, and Don is very personable and knowledgeable about cleaning drapes. Since dry cleaners no longer clean drapes, having him come into my home and clean them while they are still hanging is definitely a plus. He seems passionate about his work , which appears to be a dying art. I highly recommend him."
"Productive was recommended to me by a professional HVAC contractor. He said that he had been recommending them for 20 years. He was right to do so, the team from Productive was excellent. I have a 100 year old house in Lakewood, OH. The ducting had been replaced with a new furnace in 2000, and I felt that it was time for a cleaning. There are a lot of runs to all of the rooms in the house. Even so, the Productive team arrived on time, were very clean and professional, and got the job done in just over 2 hours. I was very impressed. It was a rainy day, but the techs made sure to cover their shoes every time they came back into the house. When the job was completed, you wouldn't have even known they had been there. The furniture was all placed back where it was, the basement was perfectly clean, and the house smelled better than it did before the cleaning. Thanks Productive! Highly recommended!"
"Robert is a miracle worker. we have an older gas unit in our home and he figured out the problem and it is working perfectly !! he also cleaned our outdoor wood burning fireplace. Prompt and friendly service and would highly recommend!!!"
"Myke was on time and extremely professional. He did a great job cleaning out chimney and didn't leave a mess which was a bonus. Prices was extremely reasonable. He is the only one I will call to clean our chimney in the future. I highly recommend his services."
Constant exposure to inclement weather conditions can damage your deck, causing it to fade, warp, or crack over time. Regular maintenance keeps it looking and performing its best. That means giving it a good cleaning and applying a quality sealant or wood treatment to help defend against moisture, sun damage, and everyday wear.
The least expensive way to build a pool deck is with concrete deck blocks, pressure-treated lumber, and the appropriate hardware for hanging joists and securing deck boards. With these basic yet durable deck materials, you'll have a pool deck that's built to last without the high price tag. You should also stain or seal the deck to protect it against the elements.
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.
For a 12x20-foot (240-square-foot) deck, you can expect to pay between $7,200 and $14,400. This cost is based on a general price of $30 to $60 per square foot. The final price will depend on factors such as the decking material, design complexity, deck type, location, and local labor costs. Keep in mind that add-ons will increase the total; for example, adding an under-deck drainage system to a deck of this size could cost an additional $7,700.
Whether to paint or stain a deck depends on your personal preference for appearance and budget. Stain provides a natural look with a range of undertones, is typically less expensive, and may only require one coat, but it does not last as long as paint. Paint offers a sleeker finish with a virtually unlimited color palette. Both options will protect your deck from outdoor elements like rain, snow, and general wear and tear.
