"All work done was excellent.  The peg-board installation was top-notch and my garage now looks organized and cleaned-up.  The underneath of my back deck roof looks brand new.  My hot tub is now moved and accessible for repairs to be made.  Miscellaneous "smallish things" that have needed doing since I first moved in 10 years ago are now done.  Karl was my guys all three (3) days.  (He was excellent.  In fact, I requested him 'by name' after day 1.)  While I could have looked elsewhere and likely saved money (Mr. Handyman is not cheap), it was a matter of "you get what you pay for" and it was definitely money well spent.  I would recommend Mr. Handyman to others and will definitely use them again.

"There were some postponements, primarily due to weather, but Brian did a very good job of removing the rotted wood on my deck and leaving the deck in good shape. I'm replacing the wood myself, as I think it was more difficult and required tools, which I do not have, to remove the wood, 5/4 X 6" and 2 X 4", about 20 boards in total."

"I think he was a little too busy during the time I had him come out.  When I called to confirm he was coming he didn't seem to remember that he was to be there and once he got there seemed in a rush to leave since it was at the end of the day.  I signed up for the $125 for 4 hours of drywall repair and he was there for about 2 hours.  In all fairness on that count, I just had no clue what it all entailed so might not have been a legit 4 hour job. I had read so many great reviews on this company I really thought maybe he was just swamped and wanted to give him another shot as I have a great deal of stuff I want to do around my house.  I asked what other work he did because I had a rather large deck I needed power washed and stained.  He came out to take a look said he would get back to me with a written estimate.  Never heard back.

"Dave came out to do an estimate and I admitted to him that I did not know exactly how we wanted the tub/shower area laid out and that we had hoped they could give us some ideas.  He immediately gave a few suggestions from simply standing in the space but admitted that he was not an interior designer and would speak to his wife (and company co-owner), Melisa, to come up with additional ideas that may work for the space we have.  He took measurements of the entire space and in approximately a week, Melisa sent me a drawing of what they suggested for layout as well as a quote to complete the work based on that layout.  The drawing gave us a starting place to picture what we may like and/or want to change...it also prompted us to do some additional research to understand what we like and didn't like.  At the time of the estimate, I was nearly 8  months pregnant and was concerned about starting such a large project since it had to be finished by the baby's arrival.  I also communicated some changes that we wanted to incorporate into their original drawing.  She was very accepting of both - the changes as well as the timeline restrictions.  She indicated that they would work us in sooner than later and get started as soon as possible to ensure the work was finished before the baby arrived.  She quickly sent me a revised estimate based on the changes we made and provided me a list of the materials that we would need to get (based on our request to do so since we could get a military discount at Home Depot) and that we should let her know when all the materials arrived.  
The materials we purchased (tub, plumbing fixtures, tile, grout) all arrived fairly quickly.  When we went to pick them up though, the tub had been ordered in the wrong color and would take approximately 5 days to get the correct one in.  Melisa and Dave said they would start with demo regardless while we were waiting for the tub since we had the looming baby deadline.  When the tub arrived, Dave and his plumber took a look at it and said they could definitely put it in as planned, but that they felt it would require more decking than we wanted and would look good in relation to the size of shower we were planning to put next to it.  So we sent that tub back and ordered a 3rd one.  Dave and his team kept working while waiting for the tub to arrive and completed the items they could in the meantime.  
Once the tub arrived, the rest of the work went fairly quickly.  Dave's team of plumber, drywall, and tile guys were always pleasant and respectful of our house.  They kept plastic down on the carpet from the front door to the bathroom and even though there was a key lockbox on the front door so they could access the house, they always rang the doorbell if there was a car at the house in order to respect our privacy.  In particular, I have to say that we were exceptionally impressed with the quality of work of the tile guy Get It Done used.  Keith was extraordinarily detailed-oriented and took the time to do tile the right way...laying out the spacing and cuts prior to sticking it to the floor or walls.  He even made some suggestions on how to use our decorative pieces to add dimension to the shower cubbies and the result looks great!  We'd have never thought of that on our own.  Additionally, Dave salvaged a piece of countertop that was to be thrown out at another job and asked if we'd like to use it to finish the top of the half-wall that we'd had him cut between shower and vanity areas.  We had not even thought about how to finish that little area and he not only thought of it, but gave us a very good-looking, free solution.  Also, once the decking was removed from the old tub and the old plastic shower insert removed, it was revealed that the plumbing was coming out of the slab at very odd places that did not allow for the specifics of our layout of the area.  Dave and his plumber both immediately suggested minor changes to the layout that would keep the space looking good, being functional, and avoid the cost, time, and hassle of moving pipes within the concrete slab (what a potential nightmare that would've been!).  
By the time the baby was born, the bathroom was completely finished except the glass enclosure for the shower.  It had to be specially cut to fit and couldn't be ordered until everything else was done to ensure it fit perfectly.  We brought the baby home on a Sunday and the glass folks were here to install the following day - Monday.  There was one glitch with it...the glass provider did not have all the parts they needed to finish so only one wall of glass was installed that day.  We notified Dave immediately and he called his glass provider and pulled all the strings he could to get the parts here faster and the glass installed sooner than their estimated Friday return.  The glass provider could not get the parts any sooner, but did agree with Dave that they would give us a discount on the remaining balance of the glass.  
Overall, we were very satisfied with the outcome, the entire team's sensitivity to our timeline with the baby's arrival, their friendliness, quality of work, and overall knowledge of their skill areas.  We still ( a month later) find ourselves standing in our bathroom saying, "this is the best decision we ever made."  It has been a true blessing with the baby since the shower and tub and general layout just work tons better than the old bathroom would have for bathing and caring for the baby and us.  
As a sidenote:  About a week or so after the job was completed and we had been home with the baby, we received a package at the door, addressed to the baby's name.  Imagine our surprise and how touched we were when we opened it to find the cutest baby gift from Dave and Melisa.  It just confirmed our impression that Get It Done is a very capable contracting company but also still operates with the personal touch of family-owned company.  
We have a rental house that will need periodic work and we will use them again for that work as well as any projects we may tackle in the future on our own home.  
Thanks to the entire team, but especially Dave and Melisa for making the bathroom remodel as headache-free as possible!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

There are a variety of second-story deck privacy ideas depending on your budget and aesthetic. For starters, you might consider fencing or tall privacy railing that masks a good portion of the open deck. A pergola or an awning can provide additional cover and shade. Outdoor curtains are an easy way to add or remove privacy at your convenience, plus they’re a wallet-friendly way to decorate your deck.

Building a deck is often worth the investment, not only because it provides more utility to your yard and gives you more space to entertain but also because decks tend to add value to your home. Keep in mind that second-story decks often require concrete footings, which means they will bump up your property taxes, while decks built on the first story generally don’t require a permanent foundation and won’t affect your taxes. Even with the tax increase, decks are usually a good investment in the long run.

It is recommended to clean your deck once or twice a year to prevent the accumulation of dirt, debris, mold, and mildew. The ideal times for cleaning are in the spring and fall. A spring cleaning removes grime that has built up over the winter, preparing your deck for summer use. A fall cleaning washes away messes from summer activities, preventing them from setting into the wood over the winter. The exact frequency can depend on factors such as how often the deck is used, its exposure to pollen, and whether salt was used on it during the winter. Regular cleaning helps protect the wood and its finish from damage.

That depends on the condition of your deck. An older deck that looks drab, worn, or has multiple damaged boards might be worth replacing before selling. However, if your deck is in good condition, you can simply clean, repaint, or stain it.

For the best results, stay off of your deck for at least 48 hours after sealing it. Giving the sealant at least two full days to cure ensures it can fully penetrate the wood, giving you the most protection from sun and weather damage later on. Walking on the deck too soon can prevent it from properly curing and cause your deck to weather prematurely.
