"Large deck work: company replaced rotten boards; cleaned entire deck surface and railings; restained surface. Did a great job. One of my sons said it looked like a new deck. Reasonable price for the job."
"I cannot say enough about Deck Buddy. I hired them to replace our 1000 sq ft deck with Trex and to build a small extension. Not only were they one of the least expensive quotes I received, they did an excellent job. Inevitably, home improvement projects come with hiccups, which this project had a few of (some of them due to miscommunication on my part), but the staff and workers of Deck Buddy rolled with every issue and adjusted the plan or fixed an issue or misunderstanding as needed to perfection. Their customer service is impeccable. I would hire them again in a heartbeat, but I won't need to because my deck is superb and I won't change a thing for years."
"The team painted our entire basement with precision and care, as well as refurbished our deck with new boards, sanding, and paint. This was all done in an affordable and professional manner. I will be contacting them again for future work on our home."
"The handyman, Thomas Matamoros, was wonderful. In fact, he is more than a handyman; he is a craftsman! The completed work was within the estimate given by the owner, Jesse Wertjes. We were particularly please with how will Thomas cleaned up after himself."
"paint/stain/replace screens on porch and repair some water damage. price was fair and project started quickly. workmen were neat and professional and cleaned up daily."
"I received 3 quotes to repair my deck. It was tipping to one side. Deciding factors for choosing with King Construction were: lowest price; contractor came to my home to see the damage to the deck (…others gave quotes based on pictures alone); he showed me precisely where the damage was by removing one if the columns. The contractor’s quote was based on physical evaluation of the deck…not just on pictures. The whole process was detailed and professional. The final “icing on the cake” was the work performance. The deck was repaired using the required structural items that should have been used in the first place and in the proper manner to sustain the deck. All was done in a professional manner. I am happy with the work done."

"Tony’s crew showed up as promised and on time. The windows cleaned are spotless. The power washing of my deck and wrought iron furniture was fantastic. All the work was done efficiently and timely, and for a very reasonable price. Definitely would recommend Tony’s Power Washing and Window Cleaning to anyone."
"Chris did a very good job bringing our deck back to the way it was when we bought the house. Very professional and knowledgeable of the issues related to deck work. We got two quotes and, though Chris was a bit more, we decided to go with him as he seems a bit more knowledgeable. Prep work was done on a Friday and the stain work was to be done the following Tuesday. Chris called at about 1200 Tuesday to say he wasn't going to be able to make it due to issues with the availability of his helper. He returned the next day, Wednesday, to complete the work and did a good job of it. Small issues were identified on the final walk thru and he quickly corrected them. Time is really the true test of the quality of the restain effort, but for now it looks very good."
"The crew the company sent out was very good in what they do. Now I have a deck that looks brand new. And I couldn't believe the price they quoted me for the entire job. Thank you again Deck Solution."

Beware that mistakes can damage your deck, so if you’re at all unsure of the process, play it safe and hire a pro for your custom build.
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.
