"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."

"Mr. Davis was very fast, efficient and completed my project, a deck extension, on time. He did a great job of keeping me up to date on the progress of the project from start to finish. He even completed the project in a little less time than first projected. He not only made sure he found matching paint to the current deck, but also left the can he used for future reference, in case I want to have the paint job touched up in the future. Thanks for a Great and Professional job!!"

"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."

"Bryan Davis did an amazing job on our deck. He ripped out our old deck and installed our completely new Trex deck all within 3 days. He was easy to work with and walked us through the entire process. Great service for an amazingly low price. I highly recommend them!"

"The team was easy to schedule and showed up as planned. They worked quickly and cleared the debris the came out of gutters away from the house, off of the sidewalks, back deck, etc. Gutters are now working as they should."

"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."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

There are more pros than cons when staining a deck. Deck stain is more affordable than paint, it protects the wood and allows the natural textures to shine through, and it can revive the appearance of your home. However, deck stain also requires prep work (sometimes days or more), carries more upkeep than a painted deck, and can fade over time if not cared for. 

Choosing whether your deck should be lighter or darker than your house is a matter of personal preference, as there is no right or wrong answer. However, considering the pros and cons of each can help guide your decision. Darker colors are often chosen because they show less dirt, footprints, and marks from daily wear, making them easier to keep clean. On the other hand, lighter deck colors tend to stay cooler in the summer. From a design perspective, using a deck color that contrasts with your home's exterior can help make the deck a more defined and distinct feature. Consulting color theory can also make the process of choosing a complementary house and deck color combination easier.

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.

No, your deck will not rot under artificial grass as long as it is installed properly. When installed correctly, the artificial grass features a drainage system that prevents rotting. Simply laying artificial grass on top of the decking without proper installation will not lead to an effective drainage system that prevents rotting.

Your deck may pop, and your neighbor’s deck may not for a number of reasons. Whether or not a deck pops will depend on how it was made, the conditions it’s exposed to, and the materials. Improper spacing is a common reason for increased pressure between deck boards. Moisture penetration is another.
