"The job went very well. Mr. Kirby gave me an approximate start date which was several months out which did not concern me. Because of his reputation he is very busy and my situation did not require immediate attention. When it became close to the original approximate start date I contacted Mr. Kirby and he told me it would be later than anticipated because of adverse weather conditions which I easily understand. Mr. Kirby notified me when he would be able to start and we consulted about the stain color and were able to match the original color perfectly from an old can of paint that had fortunately been left. He arrived early on the start date and as promised first powerwashed the house. He washed my small deck at no charge. The deck was not included in the original estimate. That was done gratis. Then the caulking commenced and when completed the windows were covered with plastic and painting commenced. We lost almost a week of painting because Mr. Kirby had a family emergency which sometimes is unavoidable and I understand. Life doesn't always go smoothly! After a four day break, Mr. Kirby commenced the painting and finished the work in three days. He also did an interior repair that was needed as a result of a roof leak. The damage is no longer visible. He charged $75.00. Another company gave me an estimate of $500! Several days after the work was completed I realized there was some tape residue on the outside of a second story window and contacted Mr. Kirby. He was here two days later and took care of that and some paint spots on a storm door. Mr. Kirby is a consummate craftsman and as a bonus, is a delightful person. I would not hesitate to recommend his services. I have several interior interior projects for next year and will definitely be using him."

"Steve and his son Jason did a spectacular job!  They were prompt, efficient, and left everything spotless. It had been a really long time since I had my home power washed, so they had to work really hard to get everything clean.  Now, I can be proud of how my home will look for all my holiday visitors!  I highly recommend them for your power washing needs!!
In addition, when Steve was providing an estimate for me for the power wash job, we talked about his painting service. My screened-in deck really need work!  Anyway, I asked about interior painting of my ceilings, and ended up hired his painting crew to paint 4 of my ceilings. The ceilings were lifted (they were majorly drooping - about 1/2 an inch in the middle) by Ed Sawyer (another Angie's List person that I highly recommend for your drywall needs) back in June, and desperately need new paint.
When my husband took down the ceiling fans to make the ceiling ready for the painters, we discovered that the boxes for our ceiling fans had cracked the drywall, plus they be lifted up from the attic to make them work. Steve's painters (Chris and Russell) fixed the boxes and patched the drywall for us. They did such a great job of both and kept our hose so clean while they worked!  They're scheduled to paint on Monday (Sep 18th), and I'm fully confident that they're work will be excellent.  I'll do another review to let you know.

"Both times excellent! The driveway had a lot of moss growing on it; after the power wash, it looked great just like that! Then he came about a week later to power wash the house and deck, with the same fantastic results! Will definitely hire again! Price reflected below is for both jobs: $100 for the 125 foot driveway, and $275 for the two-story colonial, jobs completed within 10 days."

"Excellent customer-focused service! We have a huge yard with many trees and shrubs. I had texted the owner, Devin, with numerous pictures of what I needed mulched in order for him to quote. I told him I would handle the landscape cloth. He sent back a very low quote and said he’d throw in the installation of the landscape cloth. When he arrived, we discovered, because of my poor cell service, that only about four of my dozen pictures had gone through, hence the very low quote. Even though they are a new company, he didn’t hesitate to offer to keep his quote the same and still do all the landscaping and cloth for those trees and shrubs! You don’t find that kind of customer care often. I convinced to pay him the regular price, which was very reasonable. Josh and Jessie are knowledgeable and gave me landscape ideas that I hadn’t thought of. They were professional, caring, and did a top-notch job. My yard looks amazing It’s apparent they love their work and value their customers."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Whether composite decking is better than wood depends on your priorities, especially regarding budget and maintenance. Composite decking offers superior longevity (30 to 50 years) and durability, and it is low-maintenance, requiring no sanding, staining, or sealing. In contrast, wood decks typically last 10 to 30 years and need refinishing every few years. While the upfront cost of composite is higher than wood, the reduced maintenance can lead to long-term savings. If a lower initial cost is the primary factor, wood is the more affordable choice.

The proper and most comfortable height for a deck stair riser, also called a step, is between four and seven inches. A height of seven inches is often considered ideal for a strain-free step that minimizes the risk of trips and falls. While it is possible to have risers up to 12 inches, this height can be challenging for children, pets, or individuals with mobility issues. For optimal safety and comfort, pair a seven-inch riser with a tread depth (or run) of at least 10 to 12 inches. Always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements that differ from these general recommendations.

Before installing a new railing, check the condition of the deck frame and joists, especially around the perimeter where posts attach. If boards are loose, soft, or show signs of rot, the structure may need repair. A deck pro can inspect your framing to confirm it meets load-bearing requirements.

Rotting wood, loose railings, or unstable stairs may indicate a need for expertise.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.
