"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

You can add a roof to most decks, but you need to have it inspected first. If your deck didn’t come with a roof initially, it may not be able to handle the weight without some structural changes. You can add additional supports to your existing deck to safely add a roof, and tying your deck’s roof to an exterior wall can help add some structural stability, but remember these aren’t DIY projects and need to be left to a pro. 

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.

Yes, it is generally safe to have a fire pit on a deck, but you must adhere to building codes and take several safety precautions. For both built-in and freestanding models, you must use a heat-resistant barrier, such as a fire pit pad or heat shield, between the pit and the deck. Additionally, consider the weight of the fire pit and ensure your deck can structurally support it, reinforcing it if necessary. The fire pit must also be positioned a safe distance from your house, particularly from materials like vinyl siding, to prevent heat damage.

Yes, deck pier blocks can be used as an alternative to traditional deck footings, particularly for small or low-to-the-ground decks. Unlike poured concrete and buried post footings, deck blocks don’t require digging or pouring. However, their use is regulated by local building codes, and they may not be permitted in areas prone to high winds, earthquakes, or hurricanes. Always consult your local building codes before choosing them for your deck project.

You should refinish your deck to maintain its appearance, durability, and longevity. Refinishing your deck protects the wood from foot traffic and the elements. It also helps extend its life span by keeping rot, mildew, and termites at bay. By maintaining your deck, you can avoid the cost of replacing your deck sooner. A refinished deck also looks great and restores some of its original beauty.
