"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!!"

"Robert performed my Master Bathroom floor repair/tile replacement approx 145 soft), replaced my back deck boards (approx 740 soft), performed ceiling/wall plaster repairs, and repaired/reset 4 sections of 8 foot fencing. Each and everyone of his crews were professional at all times and cleaned up thoroughly each day leaving the work sites clean prior to calling it a day. Workmanship was excellent. Would recommend Luper Construction to anyone"

"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!"

"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."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

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.

Any wood deck provides some ventilation to the area below, as is the nature of that type of deck design. However, areas that experience excessive humidity and associated moisture benefit greatly from a dedicated ventilation system in the form of strip vents. This addition helps the various wood boards contract and expand evenly throughout the years and reduces the chances of twisting, warping, and buckling.

For a 12x20-foot (240-square-foot) deck, you can expect to pay between $7,200 and $14,400. This cost is based on a general price of $30 to $60 per square foot. The final price will depend on factors such as the decking material, design complexity, deck type, location, and local labor costs. Keep in mind that add-ons will increase the total; for example, adding an under-deck drainage system to a deck of this size could cost an additional $7,700.

Yes, but ensuring the deck has a solid foundation with adequate footings is critical before building, as the weight of a sunroom will put significant pressure on the structure below. Even if your deck is properly constructed, it may not be able to handle the extra weight. While some basic, lightweight, prefabricated sunrooms can sit on a deck with a strong existing foundation without additional supports, in many cases, the foundation and joists will need reinforcement. It is always best to have a structural engineer perform an inspection to evaluate the deck's quality and structural integrity. A professional can help you decide if reinforcement is sufficient or if it's better to tear down the deck and start over.

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.
