We do Drywall repairs, hanging drywall, mud and taping, sanding, finisher, and we do painting exterior and interior including staining.

"The painting of the deck was good at the beginning, then the paint got on the wall - they were suppose to come back on May 11 to get it off the wall and there have been excuse after excuse as to when they were not coming back to take care of the issue at hand, never made it and now they have blocked my husbands number."

I have been in the construction industry on and off for most of my life. My entire family is in construction in one form or another so it is a tradition and passion for myself. There is no job too small or too large that I can not be of assistance to you. I have remodeled several homes in the area and built one complete home my self. If there is a project that is too large for me I have the connections in the industry to get you the right professional for the job at a reasonable price. Our family name is known well in the Rockbridge County area for custom precision work at a fair price.

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Costs depend on dock size, material type, damage severity, labor, and required permits.

Building codes vary by location, and you should always consult local codes before planning construction. Generally speaking, however, railing requirements stipulate that decks more than 30 inches off the ground need railings for safety purposes. These railings usually need to be at least 36 inches tall, although California and Washington require rails to be 42 inches or taller.

When installing deck boards, screws are a better option than nails. For one, screws have more holding strength than nails, so they’re better at keeping your deck boards in place. Also, nails are more likely to pop out of the boards than screws, which can create a tripping or poking hazard on your deck.

There are several methods for attaching stair stringers to a deck. The best way is to bolt the stringers to the deck joists using three carriage bolts in a triangular pattern. This method offers the sturdiest fit for stairs that won’t budge. Alternatively, attach the stringers to the deck rims using lag bolts or to the posts using adjustable slope hangers.

The main cause of a rotting porch post is prolonged exposure to moisture. So, the best way to prevent rot is to eliminate and guard against moisture.

  • Use wood caulk to seal any cracks, openings, or areas along the post where water is likely to pool.

  • Secure porch posts into concrete, if possible.

  • Cover wooden posts with protective sleeves or wraps, often made of vinyl.

  • Install metal post anchors for extra support.
