"Gino @ Redline did several repair and upkeep jobs for us, including installing a new kitchen faucet, replacing the ballcock in the toilet tank, installing a new door knob, among other help. He was professional, reliable, courteous, got the jobs done. He even went above and beyond when we had issues with a fridge install (different company): he came back free of charge to help us move our heavy kitchen island to make space for moving the fridge. We offered a tip, but he declined that, too. To top it off, he told us to call him when it's time to move the island back. I highly recommend him."

" I am SO pleased with the work that was done on my home. The painting job is beautiful! Each of the workers were professional. They were very helpful in responding to anything i asked them to consider. They worked well together and they were eager to go the extra mile. I feel fortunate to have such a group paint my house.
Many times when people work on homes there is a lot of clean up to do when the job is done. My property looked better after Roos Painters were there than it did before they came. They were wonderful.
Each of the painters at one time or another mentioned that they enjoyed painting and their work shows that to be reality. They take care and pride in the work they do. (plus they are helpful people)
I am thankful for this team of painters. Michael and Penny Roos are careful about the pricing and details with the job. They are honest and hard working professionals with no surprises.
Roos Hand R is a great company with excellent workers. I could not recommend them more highly. I love the house and it is in such good shape now that it has been painted and repaired correctly.

"After I had my deck power washed, I had them come back to do my windows. Also, they are coming back to landscape around my garage and my banks in the yard. The work is ð ¯ top notch. This fall I will definitely have them cut down 3 trees!!"

"He did what he said he was going to do. I added a couple of other projects and he completed them timely. I had my roof done last Year by Home Depot and he found something they neglected to do. I felt he was honest and truthful about everything I asked him. Since did a good excellent work hired him to did some brick work and brick painting and did a very good job. Highly recommend."

"There was a lot of jobs in this job and took more than just one day. Every worker who arrived to work was polite, professional, friendly and knowledgeable. Every job was completed  was done well. My daughter and I are very happy with all the jobs that were done. Michael Key was very knowledgeable, polite and professional. He is a "good guy."  Anytime I had a question, I was able to contact him and get answers. I would HIGHLY recommend CC&M to anyone who needs work done on Manufactured Homes. Michael Key is very easy to work with and was willing to work with me with finances."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

While the terms deck and porch are often used interchangeably, they are two distinct structures. A porch is a covered structure, usually attached to the front of a home, that offers protection from the elements. In contrast, a deck is an open, uncovered platform, often attached to the back or side of a home. Because porches have a roof, they typically require less maintenance than decks, but both features need regular cleaning and repairs to stay in good condition.

In most cases, there should be a small gap between the house and the deck, usually no more than ½ to ¾ of an inch. This space allows water and moisture to flow through instead of pooling against the side of your house. It also lets flashing protect your siding from runoff, which is one of the most common issues with decks.

It is definitely worth sanding a deck to ensure the wood absorbs new stain. Sanding a deck removes the outer layers of aging wood, allowing the stain to penetrate. It also gives a fresh look to the entire surface as part of the deck refinishing process. Without sanding, your stain or sealant is less likely to absorb into the wood. While sanding a deck is a time-intensive project, the rewards are noticeable and long-lasting.

Most building codes require that railing spindles (also known as balusters) on decks or stairs be spaced no more than four inches apart. This safety standard is often called the '4-inch sphere rule,' which means a sphere with a 4-inch diameter should not be able to pass through the opening between balusters. This rule is in place to prevent small children and pets from slipping through the railing. For the same reason, the space between the bottom rail and the deck or floor surface should also be no more than four inches. As a general guideline, professionals often install three balusters per foot of railing. However, since specific requirements can vary by location, it is essential to check your local building codes to ensure compliance before starting your project.

It is possible to pressure wash your deck, but it’s usually best to leave the work to a professional for two main reasons. First, power washers are expensive, and you can avoid high upfront costs by hiring a deck washing pro instead. Second, you must be careful to use the correct setting to avoid damaging your deck material. You can only clean soft woods like pine with a wide spray and a low pressure; otherwise, the water will leave unpleasant marks on your deck. Hard woods, composite material, and metal can stand up to increasingly higher water pressures.
