"Extra work was performed with extra expense & not discussed with me. We eventually settled but the roof leaked in 2 separate places. They said they would fix and it was "under warranty ". At least four requests were made to "fix it". They never showed up. I had to pay $2,600 to repair their insufficient workmanship. I would never allow anyone I know to use them."

"Getting in touch with this guy is practically impossible.  You can leave message after message and they never contact you back.  I've talked with several other people who have used them in the past and they all have the same comment.  If you are indeed lucky enough to get scheduled with them, Daniel works hard when he's on site.  He underestimated how much time would be required to complete all the quoted work and he asked to come back the next day to finish cleaning the gutters.  We agreed to it.  The next day someone showed up and cleaned the gutters on our home.  What we didn't realize, because we were gone for a few hours, is that they never cleaned the gutters on our detached garage.  Because of the height of the gutters on the garage, there's no real way to inspect the work.  In the weeks following we had intense rain and it wasn't until this time that I realized that the gutters were still backed up.Multiple (and I mean MULTIPLE) calls to the phone number for this company have gone unanswered.  At this point all I want is for them to finish what they started.  The owner of the company stood there in my driveway and spend a good 10-15 minutes telling me how proud he was that he ran a good company where he treated everyone well and fairly.  I'm sorry, but at this point I feel all that was nothing more than just theatrics.   "

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Before installing any materials under the deck for removing moisture, you should perform some prep work on the ground. Work the dirt under the deck to create a grade away from the home. A grade of at least six inches for every 10 feet works well. Do not leave a gap between the dirt and the home’s foundation where water could pool. Once you or a contractor regrades the dirt under the deck, you then can add materials over the top.

Many composite decking manufacturers, including the popular Trex brand, offer warranties that protect against warping under specific conditions. These warranties typically last between 20 and 50 years, but they usually exclude claims related to improper installation of the product. Some manufacturer warranties only cover decks built by certified professionals.

Expect to spend around $10,000 to $11,000 to replace a 20-by-20-foot deck. Using high-end materials like composite or exotic hardwoods can drive up the cost, as can custom features and design elements. You can also expect to pay more than average if your deck replacement requires a site evaluation or if you need the work done during the busy season.

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.

The problems with composite decking include a high rate of expansion and contraction from temperature swings. This characteristic can cause boards to split, delaminate, or peel. In addition, significant movement can cause shrinking, warping, twisting, and bending. For this reason, you should minimize moisture and ensure proper airflow below your deck.
