"John does exceptional work, and is very knowledgeable, punctual, and fair. His work is of the highest quality - so much so that we asked him to come back and remodel a second bathroom. Both jobs turned out even better than expected. One of the things we liked most was that John LISTENED to what you wanted and figured out a way to get that done. We will call John to do any of our future needs."

"Dusty and his crew did an amazing job with our deck, replacing an old (and lesser quality) plastic ceiling with his more durable and beautiful aluminum system. Dusty was incredibly responsive, giving us detailed quotes in person and via email. Once his crew was able to reopen for work (he was temporarily closed during the COVID-19 closures), they immediately came out and completed our large deck project in a single day! The attention to detail that Dusty and his crew are capable of is impressive - they were able to make the patio under deck even more usable by expanding the coverage of the ceiling, moving the drainage and downspouts to a better location, and installing a soffit to the outer portion of the deck that not only looks great but also keeps birds and other critters from getting in. Overall, we couldn't be happier. Highly recommended!"

We install Under Deck Ceilings underneath elevated decks to make a nice dry, bright living space . We can add lights and fans during the installation. This area can also be used for storage.

We can provide references in your area and give free no obligation cost quotations. We also offer a 30 day money back price guarantee (call for details).

"I supposedly won their contest at the State College Home Show 2022 for $1200 certificate. Rep came out and knew nothing about giving me the prize I won. Should have seen this as red flag. Window and entry door replaced anyway. Like the window. BUT, the door has major air draft coming in down the side and across the bottom. Have been calling repeatedly for 2 months leaving multiple messages- no return call since back in October. Company sent me letter 11/30 and called me that evening trying to get me to hire them to do more work. Assured me they would send someone to correct problem with initial work. Still have not received phone call or service visit from anyone in this company. Don't enter their contests at Home shows- I think they use this as way to get into your home to sell you their company when you haven't really won anything. and don't hire them to do any work. They will not fix any problems!!"

"I am completely disappointed with the quality of work this company did. I had expensive gutter guard installed several years prior to the roofing replacement. Care was not taken to remove the guard during the project. In fact, the guard was removed from my property and I had to call to have them return it and replace it. Most of the replacement was done after dark using only a headlamp. The results are terrible and portions of gutter guard are now non-functional. There were other small problems also. I have called and left multiple messages with Kirk and none have been returned. If you were considering hiring this company, please contact me."

"U Pick Pro Painting did an amazing job painting our deck. Our deck was a peeling mess. They power washed, sanded it and applied 2 coats of paint. They even replaced one of the boards that was rotting. Looks like new. They were very professional, friendly, and cleaned up thoroughly when they were finished. Recommend them to anyone who is looking for someone to do painting. We will definitely use them again."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Typically, most residential wooden decks are designed to support approximately 40 pounds per square foot, including the deck’s weight and any items placed on it. While this is fine for typical use, it is usually not enough to hold the weight of a hot tub filled with water and people. To safely support a hot tub, your wood deck will likely require reinforcement. Therefore, it’s best to have a contractor or a structural engineer assess it before hot tub installation.

Painting a damaged pool deck is not recommended if the substrate is crumbling, cracking, spalling, or otherwise actively deteriorating. Continuing deterioration will result in the paint also delaminating or flaking off the damaged surface. Minor damage such as chips or hairline cracks that are not actively deteriorating can often be repaired enough to paint over. A damaged pool deck with a lot of cracking and deterioration should be replaced for best results.

Deck skirting shouldn’t touch the ground, especially if you have a wood deck, which is vulnerable to moisture. Ideally, you should leave at least 3/4 of an inch of space between the deck skirting and the ground for more ventilation. Pros also recommend that you incorporate about 1 square foot of space for ventilation for the underside of the deck to every 150 square feet of decking. Proper ventilation prevents mold growth and rot that can damage your deck.

Putting lattice under a deck will create a polished look that allows for air ventilation. You can also store items underneath as the lattice provides privacy and protection from the weather. You can also put lattice under a porch to create a polished look in the front of your house.

If you DIY the project, it costs between $100 and $500 to fix a leaking porch roof because you'll only pay for materials like replacement shingles, flashing, nails, and sealant. If you hire a professional roofer to fix your leaky porch roof, you'll also pay for labor, which runs between $45 and $75 per hour. This will likely bring your total price range to between $300 and $800, depending on the severity of the damage.
