"The owner Harvey is personable and responsive to inquiries and the price was reasonable for what was contracted. The problem is that the work was not performed well. My biggest complaint is that I specifically told Harvey that I was deciding whether to paint the cabinets or have them refaced. I asked him if he could achieve a smooth, durable surface on the cabinets and he said he could. Well, they aren't smooth or durable. I have attached pictures. Since they were not covered in polyurethane or any protective material, paint comes off every time I wipe them down. I am now faced with the prospect of having to consider that money as lost and have them replaced. They didn't sand down imperfections unless I clearly pointed it out. They frequently left paint drips, blobs of caulk and even fallen brush bristles in the paint. The painters took shortcuts by: 1. not painting the underside of cabinet doors (obviously hoping this wouldn't be noticed), 2. painting around doorknobs and hardware without covering them, so they ended up with paint splotches, 3. not covering adjacent stone tile, so it is now ruined with a layer of unremovable primer, 4. using what they admitted was cheap caulk, which immediately cracked and split, requiring them to redo it all, 5. applying paint very thinly, allowing the woodgrain to show through, which I did not want. 6. when they did the upstairs rooms, the crew was suddenly in a hurry and attempted paint walls, doors and trim without prepping anything, so it was sloppy and I was left with paint overspray everywhere. After marking imperfections and having them come out twice to make touch ups, I got tired of the process and the mess. I gave up and just did it myself."

"This company easily got my leaks repaired and then painted the inside of my home. They paid great attention to detail, were very detail oriented, and were definitely worth hiring and I would hire them again in a second."

"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."

"I have had these guys work before, and they always do an excellent job-
especially since right in the middle of their work, I had all my carpet in my house replaced-
They took that in stride-
all painting was done well,
only had some issues with some of the doorknobs (wrong screws)
and a fan that was defective,
but they came in, did a wonderful job,
cleaned up after themselves
answered all my questions.
If they happened to miss some spots, I would point those out,
and they would fix them to my satisfaction-
job was completed in a timely manner-
I would not hesitate to rehire Steve and his team to do anything I needed done.
Very reliable, great workers."

"We have hired Dave for numerous projects, including flooring, painting, and a gorgeous master bath redo, and would hire him again in the future without a doubt. He is reliable, kind and fair. His work is terrific and he managed to work with us through various unexpected delays on these projects, including HOA approval, a change to the deck plan, plumbing store misplacing our order, etc. We've been working with Dave on redoing our house for over a year now and love his work. We also felt very comfortable having him work in the house while we were on vacation on several occasions. "

"Things went great. Had to reschedule twice due to extreme weather and once because of a conflict with lawn reseeding effort that was going on when they arrived (SoftWash Pros went above and beyond in this exercising an abundance of caution here and opted not to risk my lawn work). The pressure wash and algae work they did was outstanding and made the house look brand new! Staff was very professional, easy to work with, and prompt in all communications."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Whether to paint or stain a deck depends on your personal preference for appearance and budget. Stain provides a natural look with a range of undertones, is typically less expensive, and may only require one coat, but it does not last as long as paint. Paint offers a sleeker finish with a virtually unlimited color palette. Both options will protect your deck from outdoor elements like rain, snow, and general wear and tear.

Ultimately, overapplication of stain can compromise the deck's appearance, durability, and longevity. It may result in an uneven finish, with excess stain pooling, dripping, or drying into thick patches. It can also obscure the wood's natural grain and texture, detracting from the desired aesthetic. Moreover, excessive staining may not fully penetrate the wood, leading to poor adhesion and premature wear. Additionally, thick layers of stain are prone to peeling, cracking, and blistering as they struggle to bond with the surface. 

A ground-level deck is a great idea for an outdoor space because it’s easy to access and doesn't require stairs or railings. You can install a ground-level deck near your home or farther away on your property. You can place a ground-level deck around a pool, fire pit, or near a view such as a lake, pond, or area of trees.

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.

When building an outdoor or deck gate, it's crucial to use durable wood that can withstand harsh weather conditions like sunlight, rain, wind, and snow. Redwood and cedar are excellent choices as they naturally resist decay. While redwood is considered more elegant, cedar is a more affordable option. Other suitable woods include oak and pressure-treated pine, which is specifically treated to resist rot. Although some softwoods like pine are popular, untreated softwoods such as pine and spruce should generally be avoided for outdoor projects because they are susceptible to damage from water, rot, and the sun. Ultimately, it's wise to consider your local climate when selecting the right wood for your gate.
