"He has completed a number of jobs at my home. Gutter cleaning was just one of them. He has worked on my awning and secured places where there was open access to birds. Inside he has repaired doors, lighting fixture and the bath tub. Upon completion pictures are shared of work without easy access. I have been pleased with all the improvements. He is professional, knowledgable, prompt and courteous. Will not hesitate to use his services again."

"Wow!!! It's been a long time since we have had someone the caliber of Nate come to do work on our home. He returned our phone call almost immediately...arrived exactly on time...got to work immediately...was thoughtful, professional and kept us in the loop the entire time. And the end result? PERFECT deck steps!!!! He was faced with a problem, quickly analyzed the situation and resolved it and now we have a beautifully fixed deck with some very sturdy amazing steps!! So grateful for Nate's work ethic and skills as a craftsman...like I said, it's been a long time since my husband and I hired a handyman that actually did what he said he was going to do and then went above and beyond to do an excellent job!!! Thank you, Nate - we highly recommend you!!!"

"Four Seasons Painting came in to paint all of the walls in our house. We were changing dark colors to light colors. They found bits of old wall paper, damaged walls and paint on the ceilings after the first coats. Tim rolled with it, fixed everything, without additional charges, and transformed our dark house into something beautiful!! He didn't even hesitate when I wanted to add painting all of the registers to match the baseboards. He is a meticulous, hard working honest man. We love our house because of the work they did. I highly recommend Four Seasons Painting to everyone we meet! Thank you, Tim and Dominic."

Deck Maintenance FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Yes, you can build a deck around a fire pit, as long as it is safely enclosed, meets code requirements, and is at least 15 feet away from your home. You’ll want to ensure you have a heat-resistant barrier between the fire pit and your deck to prevent any structural damage and fires. A galvanized ring surrounded by pavers, brick, or stone makes for a beautiful, safe, and sturdy design.

Cutting the boards directly is one of the fastest ways to remove deck boards with hidden fasteners. Mark two parallel lines that are one-third of the total measurement on both ends and cut out the centerpiece. Then, remove the end of the board that doesn’t have a fastener. Finally, pry open the fastened side and pull it up to pop out the screw or access the fastener. This also allows you to salvage portions of boards for other projects.

The average cost to professionally clean or pressure wash a deck is around $150, with prices typically ranging from $100 to $600. Several factors influence the final price, including the deck's size, material, condition, and how long it has been since its last cleaning. For a smaller deck of about 300 square feet, you might pay around $100. For a larger deck of 1,000 square feet or more, the cost could be closer to $300 to $400. Decks that are very dirty or haven't been cleaned in years may require more time and special detergents, which will increase the price. The deck's material also plays a role. Wood decks often cost more to clean because they require a gentle power washing technique to avoid damage. Composite decks are typically less expensive to clean, and cleaning a metal deck may cost around $100.

Both aluminum and composite decking materials are environmentally friendly, with aluminum decking coming in as the most eco-friendly option. 

Though composite decking helps remove plastics from landfills, recycles wood, and lasts longer than traditional wood decks, it’s not recyclable and only lasts for 25 to 30 years on average. Aluminum can last well over 30 years and is almost always recyclable.
