"Ferguson Home Improvements did a fantastic job.  All the work that needed to get done, was finished beyond my expectations.  The workers were very friendly.  The job took a little longer that expected, but Ferguson Home Improvements were not at fault, the weather played a major factor with the deck stain and door installation.  At the time the work was getting done, we received a lot of rain and storms.  All in all, I would highly recommend Ferguson Home Improvements.

"Sam Pickel and his father began their R&S roofing business more than 20 years ago. He was recommended to me by someone who'd been impressed with a precision guttering job he'd done at South Holston. I called and Sam and his wife came in the evening to inspect my damaged and leaking aluminum roof after a tree fell on the deck. They measured for materials and Sam clearly explained various quality / pricing options, and I felt good about making the necessary choices. He said candidly he doesn't negotiate price, that he and his father had always charged according to a fee schedule that was fair for a job done well. The end result was beautiful. I paid a deposit but before the work was completed I had to be away from the area. I was kept informed via email about the progress and his wife (who runs the office) sent photos. I then paid for the remainder of the cost. I was thrilled when I actually saw the new roof and guttering in person, but best of all was staying snug and dry during the heavy rains of this 2013 summer, when 95% of the annual rainfall had already fallen by July. I recommended R&S to a friend who needed a new roof, who was also pleased, and I just contracted with him to do work on my mother's house a year after my new roof. I have confidence that Sam Pickel is impeccably honest and fair, which significantly reduces the stress of paying for repairs.
I'm writing this review not to help him get more business, but because I'm doing a favor for anybody reading this who needs roof work done by an honest craftsman.

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

It’s important to make sure the wood on a new deck is properly seasoned. Seasoning a deck is simple: Once you build it (or have a pro do so), just leave it alone so it can acclimate to the environment. If you don’t give the deck proper seasoning time before staining, the stain can lock in any lingering moisture and cause mold, rot, and other moisture issues down the road. Give the wood at least four to eight weeks to season before you stain.

Whether you can paint over your existing paint depends on what’s on there. Most of the time, you’ll want to sand down or scrape off the paint that’s currently coating your surface. Epoxy paint, for example, won’t let new paint stick to the surface. Latex paint is more forgiving and will accept a new coat, but a primer is recommended if you’re switching colors.

Wood stains last anywhere from two to five years, depending on exposure to the elements, your local climate, the type of stain, and the surface it’s on. For instance, vertical surfaces last longer than horizontal surfaces. Some types of woods, like dense hardwoods, will require a recoat yearly, as they are too dense for the stain to absorb. In any event, apply a recoat every 2 to 4 years. As for storage, a can of unopened stain can last up to 5 years, though results may vary.

Satin paint is generally considered a better choice for woodwork—including trim, baseboards, cabinets, and doors—than flatter finishes like eggshell or matte. Its soft sheen enhances architectural details and stands up well to frequent cleaning and daily wear. Compared to eggshell and matte finishes, satin is more durable for high-touch areas because it is less porous and doesn't absorb dirt as easily. Matte finishes, in particular, are prone to scuffs and are harder to clean, making them less practical for surfaces like doors and cabinets.

Yes, it is generally a very good idea to seal your deck after pressure washing. Power washing removes not only dirt and debris but also a thin layer of wood, leaving the surface exposed and more susceptible to weathering. Sealing is almost always needed after this process. After a general cleaning, sealing isn't automatically necessary if the existing sealant is still intact. You can test the surface by placing a few drops of water on it. If the water beads up, the sealant is working. If it soaks into the wood, it's time to apply a new sealant. If it has been a few years, it's wise to remove the old sealant, wash the deck, and reseal for maximum protection.
