"Todd came over and gave me an estimate for deck repair, staining, and power washing that was a third of the other estimates. We are very happy with the results."

"Wes did a great job fixing my deck boards and power washing the deck. He did leave a bunch of the scrape wood around and I had to go back and forth with him to get him to pick up the junk. My big problem came when I attempted to get him to come back to stain the deck. I wanted to use a specific sealant and did the research and sent it to him because it was more then what I think he quoted. I was expecting him to read over the instructions and give me a price. Instead he tells me to go to a different store and buy something else. I had some other work for him anyway so suggested that he come over to quote the new work. We make plans for 8:30ish Saturday morning. Well, 8:30 comes and goes. About 9:05 I get a call from Wes saying that he's been up since 8:30 but hasn't left yet. No apology for being late, just an explanation that he was worn out from the day before. He says he can come right away and I know he lives about 10 minutes away so I say sure. Well, 35 minutes later, still no Wes. So I call and cancel. Wes does good work at fair prices but like so many handymen, he is hard to give work to."

"Excellent work! At least 1/3 of my roof on the north side had a great deal of moss on it. On much of the rest of the roof there were small amounts of moss along the bottom edge of shingles, and there were patches in scattered places on the main part of the shingles. After Hector and his son cleaned the roof, it looked brand new. They removed plants and furniture from our deck before the job and replaced them after the job. They even did a light washing of the vinyl siding of the house, which was outside the agreed-upon scope of work, but they did not charge me for it. As a former member of a site safety office in a then-Fortune 50 company, I was particularly impressed with the excellent precautions they took to insure their safety on the roof during the job. Hector’s 27+ years of experience was evident in every aspect of the job. I plan to bring him back in a year for annual maintenance. I definitely recommend No More Dirty Roofs to any home owner needing roof cleaning."

Our experience with SJ&Sons was great.  We really appreciated the value we received for the "$69 for 2-hours of labor" deal that we purchased.  I plan to contact this company and use them again in the near future for some drywall repairs.  Also, I know they build decks, and, given how well this project went, we'd be happy to talk with them about a large-scale project like that.  Thank you for all your hard work with repairing our doors!

"We hired Mr. Scantling and his crew to redo the drywall on a floor to ceiling fireplace and rebuild a half wall previously done by an incompetent contractor and to repair/replace bulging splayed corner seams throughout the house. I was very nervous because we'd had such a bad experience with the previous contractor but Mr. Scantling and his men did excellent work and were very efficient. They finished the whole job in just under two days while being considerate of our schedules (my husband works from home). They didn't mind answering all my questions and were a very congenial crew. But the best part (for me) was that they truly did clean up after the job. This was one of the cleanest home repair/remodeling jobs we've had done in quite a while. I am happy to recommend this company and would use them again."

"He did the whole house for 1/4 of the other estimates I got! Because of that I went around to my other neighbors homes, & told them. He did do my neighbors house across the street. They also were very satisfied w his work. Would highly recommend him. I've been busy since he did the work, so this is the first chance I got to respond. I will also be posting his business info. & recommendation, to the next Holleybrook HOA meeting! There's a lot of homes in here! His business is sure to grow! Also does decks, concrete, aggregate driveway sealing by hand, bricks, roofs, Aeration, seeding, & more! Great work! Great price! Great reward! Thank you, Julio!"

"WONDERFUL!  I have other contractors take one look at my deck and tell me that whoever built it did a great job.  Steve had to work with another contractor that was doing some stonework and asphalt work who had some difficulty keeping to schedule.  In spite of Steve's numerous efforts to contact the other contractor, he maintained his professional and patient demeanor and made every effort to work around any difficulties that arose.  I would most DEFINITELY recommend Powerhouse Remodeling to anyone and everyone.  Great Job Guys!

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

The “best” material is in the eye of the beholder, as each common decking material boasts its pros and cons. Poured concrete is the best budget-friendly option, but composite wood brings high-grade aesthetics without breaking the bank. Wood is the most traditional material, but it requires more maintenance than some other materials. In other words, do your research before settling on a deck material to find the one that’s best for your pool.

Both a well-constructed deck and a patio can add value to your home. Patios are generally cheaper to build but don’t offer the same aesthetics as a quality deck. Therefore, decks can be more appealing to buyers than patios, increasing a home's resale value.

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.

Some elevated decks require stairs that lead to the ground level per the local fire codes in some municipalities. In other regions, a staircase is an optional feature that can increase accessibility and convenience for homeowners who want ground-level access to their deck. Additionally, a staircase is necessary if your home doesn't have an existing door leading to the deck.

Deck skirting shouldn’t touch the ground, especially if you have a wood deck, which is vulnerable to moisture. Ideally, you should leave at least 3/4 of an inch of space between the deck skirting and the ground for more ventilation. Pros also recommend that you incorporate about 1 square foot of space for ventilation for the underside of the deck to every 150 square feet of decking. Proper ventilation prevents mold growth and rot that can damage your deck.
