was, in fact, a leak in the plumbing behind the shell of my pool and beneath the deck, Oliver advised that they would have to cut out a piece of my deck, repair the plumbing leak, re-pour the concrete, and re-stain it to match. I don't have an easy deck...it was stamped concrete stained multiple colors. He then scheduled the service the next week. Given my work schedule, it is tough for me to meet contractors during the day. However, by this time I could tell that I trusted Oliver, so I just left my gate open for his crew and went to work. They came, cut out the piece of the deck along the exact stamped concrete lines so that you could not tell it had even been cut, fixed the leak, and re-poured the concrete, and retextured it to match the rest of the deck perfectly. The next day they came out to stain and again, the match was flawless. To pay, after the work was complete, I simply left a check for Oliver under my door mat, which he collected after the job was complete. All in all, aside from having to deal with an unfortunately plumbing leak, the experience was great. in the unfortunate situation that I am forced to deal with any further fiberglass pool repairs (and if you aren't already aware, there aren't a lot of pool contractors locally in TX that are qualified to work on fiberglass), I would 100% use Oliver's company again, and would recommend him without hesitation. Thanks again Oliver for the great job you and your crew do!

They returned on Monday and began immediately with a fresh concrete pour which again they worked very fast and completed the job relatively quickly. Although, the job is l not complete because it needs to be stained, which takes two weeks while the concrete properly cures.

Deck Maintenance reviews from real Angi homeowners in Arlington, TX
My total renovation went amazingly well! This is my 2nd time using Hartsell. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing anything renovated. All 3 crews (tile, decking, plaster) working at my home were on time, worked hard & completed the job early & perfectly! I love everything they did...
They are excellent, they did a good job. I think it was done the same day. I already have a contract with them for at least three seasons for annual maintenance.

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts
While the chemical, copper-based coating on pressure-treated wood offers protection from rot and pests, it’s not a silver bullet. An added sealant will help protect the wood further, though sometimes the wood is treated in a way that causes premature failure, and this is largely out of your control. It’s simply a case of bad luck. Regularly inspect all your house’s wood to look for any cracks or signs of mold and mildew. Getting ahead of the problem is the key to ensuring it doesn’t grow out of control.
Cutting the boards directly is one of the fastest ways to remove deck boards with hidden fasteners. Mark two parallel lines that are one-third of the total measurement on both ends and cut out the centerpiece. Then, remove the end of the board that doesn’t have a fastener. Finally, pry open the fastened side and pull it up to pop out the screw or access the fastener. This also allows you to salvage portions of boards for other projects.
Vinyl is generally considered to be the best option for homeowners seeking railings that are both durable and affordable. Vinyl provides protection against the mold and rot that can develop within wood railings. Composite is another budget-friendly option. However, people building high-end decks often prefer the look of glass panels or metal rails.
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.
Regular inspections, cleaning, and sealing wood components prevent premature wear and structural damage.
