"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

The best time to paint your deck is when temperatures are neither too cold (below 60 degrees) nor too hot (above 85 degrees). Always paint your deck when there’s no risk of rain. For fast-drying paint like acrylic or latex, ensure your deck can dry for at least four hours. Oil-based paints take longer to dry and may require 48 hours to completely cure.

Yes, designing builds to fit space constraints and meet functional needs.

Ideally, a gate should be able to swing both in and out. However, if it can only open in one direction, it is generally best for it to swing inward. This is often the safest option, especially for deck gates near steps, as you'll want the gate to swing away from the stairs. An inward swing also prevents the gate from opening into a public space, like a sidewalk, and can be more convenient when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

There are exceptions, however. The layout of your property may require a different approach. For example, if your property is on a slope, the gate may not be able to swing inward. You should also ensure the gate can open fully without colliding with any objects or blocking access to other areas. For a backyard garden gate where public access isn't a concern, the direction it swings is largely a matter of personal preference. Finally, always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements for which way a gate must swing.

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.

When building a deck, #2 grade lumber is a go-to for several reasons. It’s strong, budget-friendly, and works well for most framing and decking needs. But upgrading to #1 or Appearance Grade can give your deck that extra visual edge if you're after a cleaner, more polished look for high-visibility spots.
