"Provider showed up on time even on icy roads. He was courteous and efficient - going to work right away. The job, albeit not large, took only 4 hours and included covering all furniture and taping off all trim. His work was outstanding. I would not hesitate to use Tulsa Christian Bros again - they provide an amazing value in home painting! "
"The original work date was set up for a day that I would be off from work because I prefer to be onsite while work is being done in or around my home. Due to bad weather, Mr Vargas and I decided to postpone the date. Mr. Vargas convinced me to have it done on a day that I would, unfortunately, have to be at work. The power washing was successful with the exception of a piece of siding that was blown down from high up on the back side of the house. I advised Mr. Vargas of the problem and asked him to bring a tall ladder when he stopped by for payment so that he could put the siding back in place. Mr. Vargas arrived an hour and a half later than the designated time and did not have a ladder with him but promised he would send a workman by to fix the siding. The workman never came by and Mr. Vargas stopped answering my voice messages. It was my error to pay him before getting the siding back in place but I trusted Mr Vargas to follow up on his word. I waited over a week for Mr. Vargas to get back to me at which time I finally decided to contact a relative with a tall ladder to put the siding back in place. In summary, the siding was cleaned to my satisfaction but the disregard for my time and customer satisfaction has led me to give Vargas Painting a lower rating and I will not be hiring them for future projects.

"Wanted to take a minute to say I would recommend Outdoor Creations of Oklahoma for any roofing needs you might have. Jake was effective in working with us and our insurance company in helping us understand the process, from the initial visit by the claims adjustor, all the way through the final roofing install. The roofing crew were very professional and efficient. They replaced an area of bad decking, kept a clean job site and finished in just 2 days. As an additional item, we elected to have them install solar power roof vents, which will help keep our attic cooler in the hot Oklahoma summers. Every time I go outside and look at my new roof, I’m glad I used Outdoor Creations. Good job!"
"He did a very good job. The porch was cement and crumbling around the edges. I had him replaced with wooden deck on top and put railing up. It looks very good and is safe for my renters. Thank you very much for your work."
"Alex and his entire crew were prompt, professional and polite. They were organized, worked quickly and smoothly to install the fence and gate. All during the process (which was completed in one day) they were removing waste as they progressed and were thorough in cleaning up when finished. We are completely satisfied with the results!"
"Overall pretty good. They guys were friendly. The only "concern" I had was writing a check to the owner and not the company. Although I would probably use them again I recommend a little more professionalism. Thanks"
You can use a few different tactics to prevent your deck gate from sagging. Aside from using strong, rot-resistant woods, introducing a diagonal element—such as a tension rod or solid piece of wood to act as a brace—across the gate will offer better support. You can also use rigid joists to prevent the gate from sagging.
Composite decking may never warp, or it may warp quickly. Several factors can influence the rate of warping, including the material's quality, installation method, and installation location. Generally speaking, high-quality materials that have been installed properly are drastically less prone to warping.
It’s best to prime composite decking before painting. This promotes better paint adhesion, helps create a smooth finish, and can mean the paint job will last longer. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application, allow ample primer drying time before painting (typically 24 to 48 hours), and thoroughly clean the deck boards to promote the best adhesion.
A wood deck requires annual cleaning and regular inspections for loose or broken boards, nails, and screws. It should be refinished by applying a stain or sealer every two to three years to protect the wood from water damage, rot, mildew, and sun fading. The exact frequency can depend on the climate and the deck's exposure to sun and moisture. If your deck is painted, it will need repainting approximately every 10 years. Signs that your deck needs refinishing include faded, splintering, or warping boards.
A deck is typically attached to a house and accessed via the back door. Decks are usually constructed from wood or composite materials. A terrace, on the other hand, is a raised platform that can be attached to or detached from the house and is typically made from a hard-paved material, such as paving stones. Terraces can be built on the ground or on the roof of a home.
