"Although we caught Steve and Jason Swingle at a convenient time on their schedule, the speed of their response to our inquiry was amazing.  We called Steve at 10:30; he was at our house by 11:00, and we agreed to his estimate by 11:15.  It turned out that Jason planned to finish another job that morning, so we arranged for him to do ours that same afternoon.  He arrived shortly after 1:00.  We were extremely impressed by his thoroughness.  We had neglected our patio for several years, and grit and grime had worked deeply into the brick.  Jason did at least three full wash applications, at the end of which the brickwork looked nearly as good as new.  He also provided some useful suggestions for maintenance.
This was first-class work, supported by first-class customer service.  We highly recommend this father-son team

"Greg followed up within minutes of my request on Home Advisor. He scheduled an appointment before the weekend and came to check our water heater and replaced it the same morning. Quality work for a very reasonable price (lower than expected based on internet research we had done). I highly recommend Skyline Design and Build and would be happy to use them again in the future."

"I inherited a property that had been used as a rental and neglected for a very long time. I hired Karnes Landscaping to cut down 3 trees and to trim the neighbors walnut tree that has been growing over the roof for many years. Price was super reasonable even when the job turned out to be bigger than expected. The crew was friendly and William has also been helping me brainstorm other ideas in what to do with the rest of the landscaping on the property. I would definitely recommend."

"Went great. I was able to remove my old wood stove and window unit A.C. out of my shop after they installed my Mini split unit. They communicated very well with a detailed estimate, so there was no confusion. They were also able to put the unit exactly where I wanted it with no complications. Quick and effective. I wish I would have done it sooner. I'm a "repeat customer.""

"I worked extensively with Tom Palumbo and his crew and was extremely happy with the outcome. He worked within my tight budget to find materials that were very inexpensive but did not sacrifice the quality or appearance of the end product. I had quoted several other contractors that would either quote a much lower quality end product or a quality product that was way out of my price range. Tom's workers were very respectful and I felt very comfortable having them in my home throughout the entire project. The team customized the design to some of the unique nuances of my home with little to no impact on the budget and when I had some changes and that I felt needed to be addressed to make the design work better for my specific needs, the team was very accommodating and went above and beyond to make sure I was completely happy before the completed the work. Tom has very helpful with suggestions and thoughts for projects throughout my home which would maximize rentability and resale without over selling me on things that were unnecessary. I highly recommend Stoney Creek to anyone and I plan to use them again when I have jobs come up in the future.

"It was the best service I got for a long time. He exceeded my expectation. He taught me to be cost efficient and he answers a lot of my questions. I would definitely use the service again. He quote me that it would be done in 3 days and he finished in a day and a half days. I like how quick and clean his work. He checked everything and he was thorough."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

If you want to make a deck cleaner from products already in your home, there are various options. The most common is to use a gentle blend of 1 gallon of warm water and 2 tablespoons of ammonia-free dish soap. You can also mix water with distilled vinegar. Sprinkling on some baking soda can help to remove mold and mildew. You can add oxygen bleach (but never damaging chlorine bleach) to the water and ammonia-free dish soap solution for something a bit stronger. 

It is possible to build your own deck, but it’s typically better to leave the work to a decking professional. Decks can be exceptionally complicated, especially if you want a wrap-around or second-story deck, and you don’t want to risk making an expensive or dangerous mistake. It’s usually better to hire a decking pro who can pull permits and build a structurally sound deck that will last for decades and provide the maximum return on investment.

In most cases, your deck will need some form of deck footing to hold it in place, preventing moisture from rotting your wood and decreasing your deck’s lifespan. Concrete deck blocks are the most common type of footing for floating decks. Some homeowners use ground-level deck footings. For added security, consider digging and laying your ground-level footings below ground.

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.

Choices include wood, composite, and hardwoods, each with unique benefits.
