"Tri-County did a great job fixing sheet rock which had been cut out for plumbing and electrical work. Before the repairs, the wall looked like a jigsaw puzzle with substantial, uneven pieces missing. The workman from Tri-County cut and placed new sheet rock to fill the gaps, finishing with paint which perfectly matched the rest of the wall. There were no visible seams or other trace of just how torn up the wall had been before the repairs. Many thanks!!!"

"Overall very professional, on time and nice guys.  My husband asked them to make sure that the gutter down spouts were cleared of debris, they said they did. However, during the next rain storm, the down spouts were clogged up.  They cannot just use the leaf blower to blow down into the gutters and expect all the debris to come out.

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

It’s best to prime composite decking before painting. This promotes better paint adhesion, helps create a smooth finish, and can mean the paint job will last longer. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application, allow ample primer drying time before painting (typically 24 to 48 hours), and thoroughly clean the deck boards to promote the best adhesion.

No, termites do not eat Trex or any other composite decking brand. Termites eat cellulose, of which composite decking like Trex contains very little compared to natural wood. This feature can help justify the higher Trex decking costs if you live in an area with abundant termites.

You can build an outdoor kitchen on a deck, but you should choose composite decking since it's more heat-resistant. Metal deck materials like steel and aluminum are also good choices because they're less flammable than wood. You should also consider the weight of the kitchen—make sure your deck can support it and any appliances you plan to use. You should consult a structural engineer to confirm exactly how much weight your deck can safely support when building an outdoor kitchen. 

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

Deck stairs should have at least three stringers rather than two. The recommended minimum width for stairs is 36 inches, and the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors recommends at least three cut stringers to provide sufficient support on wood decking stairs of this width. Generally, stringers should be a maximum of 16 inches apart for wood decking and 12 inches apart for more flexible composite decking.
