"It was amazing. He knew that we have elders in the house so he voluntarily came over to remove the snow. Last year, I bought a house and there were overgrown grass, he wiped it out for me. The price is fair. It was good. He does things out of the goodness of his heart. He will ask you "Can I help you?" He is a good person. I'd recommend him."

"They were very pleasant. It was in a less than an ideal condition due to the heat. They were very knowledgeable of what was going on and everything went smoothly. They had a smile on their face by the time they were done with the work."

"The contractor was very efficient in getting the work done in a day. He came with a crew and that to me meant getting it done quick. There was a bit confusion, as the contractors English was somewhat challenging to understand. I would recommend this contractor just be advised that once you get passed that part everything went well. Thanks."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Whether composite decking is better than wood depends on your priorities, especially regarding budget and maintenance. Composite decking offers superior longevity (30 to 50 years) and durability, and it is low-maintenance, requiring no sanding, staining, or sealing. In contrast, wood decks typically last 10 to 30 years and need refinishing every few years. While the upfront cost of composite is higher than wood, the reduced maintenance can lead to long-term savings. If a lower initial cost is the primary factor, wood is the more affordable choice.

Wood decks need to be replaced every 10 to 15 years on average. Natural wood is highly vulnerable to infiltration and damage from moisture, which can occur rapidly due to exposure to outdoor elements. You can protect your deck and maximize its lifespan by sealing it every year or two.

Yes, pressure washing a wood deck can be a good idea as it effectively lifts ingrained dirt, mold, and mildew, improving the deck's appearance and longevity. However, it must be done carefully, as it's easy to damage the wood, especially softwoods. To pressure wash safely, use a lower pressure setting and a wide, 40-degree fan pattern nozzle (often white). Keep the nozzle at least a foot away from the wood surface and maintain constant motion, avoiding hovering in one spot to prevent gouging.

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.

Decks require several inspections during and after the building process, but the specifics vary depending on where you live. Most areas mandate that decks comply with local building codes and safety regulations for the foundation, framing, and structure. Some pros recommend a footing inspection, which verifies the depth, width, and location of the various footings to ensure they offer enough foundational support.
