"C&S is outstanding. Jose and his team were thorough, profession and had great attention to detail. They repainted my shed roof that was a mess and refinished my wood deck and railing. I highly recommend this contractor!"

"Marcelo did an excellent job. The price was more than fair. They completely sanded, and two coats of Bear paint in three days. All of the work was excellent. Would highly recommend them. I will also rehire Marcelo when I have another project."

"The project turned out bigger than originally thought, but it looks incredible. The space is easier to use now, the new retaining wall is safer than before & neighbors have commented on how nice it looks. A big fan of the finished product! Will keep Jay Concrete & Construction in mind for my next project, on a different property."

"I hired James and his crew to do some leaf cleanup and removal. James was very professional and extremely fast at responding to phone calls and texts! When they say they work 7 days a week to take care of your property, they mean it. I submitted an online request for a bid on Thanksgiving, and James called me about it within 15 minutes! I will definitely be referring them to family and friends in the future!"

"This is by far the best general contractor I've ever dealt with! Unfortunately, quailty work at a great price is hard to find these days. Wayman Bro's Construction is not only fairly priced but the owner (Alma) is great to deal with. He was very respectful of my time and always pleasant, his crew is kind, personable and most importantly always did a great job no matter what project I hired them for! I would recommend Wayman Bro's to anyone who is looking for quality work and a good experience!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Before installing a deck, you must build a base for the deck to rest upon, often made of compacted soil or gravel. While gravel is an optional material, it helps with drainage. Some contractors also recommend installing a weed control membrane, which helps provide a solid foundation for the frame. In the case of an elevated deck, a pro will often lay down a concrete slab as a foundation. 

Be careful when choosing a product to help you remove ice from your wood deck. Never use sand, gravel, or salt, since these items can damage and scratch the wood. Instead, look for chemical de-icers that are marked as safe for wood decks or use hot water to melt snow and ice.

Two coats of stain are ideal for the best protection and aesthetic appeal. However, if your decking is made of particularly dense hardwood, you may only need one coat. If you want an intense color, two coats are ideal.

The best direction for a gate to swing depends on its location and purpose, but swinging inward is the general rule. An inward swing is often considered safer, prevents the gate from opening into public spaces like a sidewalk, and may be required by local building codes.

There are exceptions and specific considerations. If your property is on a slope, an inward swing might not be possible. For a deck gate, it's safest to have it swing away from any steps. In a backyard, the direction can be a matter of preference, though an inward swing can be helpful when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

Regardless of direction, ensure the gate can open fully without hitting any objects or blocking spaces. While an inward swing is standard, a gate that can swing both in and out offers the most flexibility if your setup allows for it.

A sunroom will add more value to your home than a deck, but with a much higher up-front cost. Depending on its construction and function, a sunroom may be counted as additional living space, while a deck is strictly an outdoor feature. Both will increase your home’s value, but the sunroom will have a much bigger effect.
