I live and work in the Laurel Highlands, specializing in custom rustic renovations. My abilities as an accomplished carpenter and mason make updating homes around the Laurel Highlands a truly enjoyable job. I provide my customers with quality services at a very affordable price. I am a registered contractor and fully insured in the state of Pennsylvania. My business is aided by my son; talented in design, with his own unique artistic and carpentry skills. My wife also helps my clients with color and design work, if requested.

Approximately every 8 seconds in the USA there is another slip and fall related incident. Safe Surface Tech. consults with businesses in order to prevent slip and fall related accidents and performs work related to those consultations. Our goal is to decrease the number of slip and fall injuries and accidents in work and home environments through prevention. This can be done by increasing friction/traction on flooring and walkway surfaces, decreasing tripping hazards, increasing lighting where needed and by many other means.

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Spindles on a deck may also be called balusters or pickets. While not as important to the structural support of the deck as the rail posts, they play a critical role in ensuring the deck is safe to use by closing in large gaps in the railing. For this reason, balusters must be no more than 4 inches away from one another.

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.

Rot loves moisture, so deck rot typically impacts the parts of a board that stay wet. This includes the underside of boards, in addition to support posts and joists. However, any part of a board can rot, given the right conditions. 

Regular cleaning, sealing, and inspections help identify problems early and maintain aesthetics.

Yes, but it works best with lightweight snowblowers, the single-stage models or electric versions. Also, you need to have a rubberized intake edge on the ground and preferably rubberized auger paddles, not a metal version. Otherwise you may chip or damage the surface as you work. When it doubt, let the snow lie.

You can also use a snow blower on leveled gravel, but only if you carefully adjust the intake height so it doesn’t kick up the gravel and turn it into flying missiles.
