"The project went well, they did a good job, they cleaned up and finished in a very timely fashion. There was one issue where a roofer fell off the roof, damaging both my vehicle and the gutter, both which were fixed/repaired to my satisfaction. Sometimes things happen, but it’s how it’s dealt with that defines a company and their customer service. I have decided to hire them again to completely replace my siding. I’ll leave a review after the project completes."

"this is the second time we've had john's painting do work for us. both jobs turned out perfect. we could not be happier. the work was done when he said it would be and finished when he said it would be. when the work was done the only way you could tell he was there were the rooms where a different color. john's does outstanding work, very reasonable, and very professional. would never consider using any one else."

"Justin was very professional, fast, easy to work with and did a great job. He made sure to ask questions for clarification of what we wanted and to point out any issues he saw while he was working on our basement. We were very pleased with the work he did."

"I hired Everlast to put up my new ceiling fan, and the entire process couldn’t have been easier. The owner himself, David, came out to ensure things went smoothly, and they did a fantastic job installing it. Shortly after, I hired them again to replace my mother’s light fixtures. I highly recommend Everlast to anyone in need of quality, simple, and convenient installation services!"

"I had Sebastian come out and build me a Trex platform deck in my back yard off the patio for barbecuing and extra hangout space. He made my vision come to life and his timeliness and quality of work will make me hire Six Point Contracting again. I definitely recommend these guys if you’re looking for a quality job done within budget."

"Within an hour of locating T&C Contracting on Angie's list on a Saturday, Tim was at my home to give me a free estimate. I immediately felt comfortable in speaking with him that he was the contractor for me. By Monday the house and roof had been power washed and the roof is looking great. the next Monday Tim and his crew were back to start prepping and painting the house and by Wednesday it as completed and looking great. To me this is impressive considering the amount of prep work needed to even start painting from scraping, priming, removal and re-sealing windows and doors and fixing and replacing door toe kicks and building out a window ledge on a window that never had one! And I cannot forget my bad choice of a trim color that Tim readily took to have re-tinted and which now is the color and look that I imagined. Oh yes, and all of this at a very reasonable price! I have already discussed having T&C Contracting back soon to look into doing some other work I am planning on having done. Thanks again Tim and Crew!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Typically, most residential wooden decks are designed to support approximately 40 pounds per square foot, including the deck’s weight and any items placed on it. While this is fine for typical use, it is usually not enough to hold the weight of a hot tub filled with water and people. To safely support a hot tub, your wood deck will likely require reinforcement. Therefore, it’s best to have a contractor or a structural engineer assess it before hot tub installation.

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.

The best and fastest way to remove paint from a deck often involves combining a chemical stripper with a pressure washer. Gel-based paint strippers are highly recommended because their thick consistency makes them less messy and easier to apply than liquid strippers. After applying the stripper to loosen the paint, you can use a pressure washer to efficiently wash away the residue. When using a pressure washer for this task, it's important to use a low pressure (under 1000 PSI) to avoid forcing too much moisture into the wood, which could lead to mildew or rot.

When building a deck, #2 grade lumber is a go-to for several reasons. It’s strong, budget-friendly, and works well for most framing and decking needs. But upgrading to #1 or Appearance Grade can give your deck that extra visual edge if you're after a cleaner, more polished look for high-visibility spots.

There are several methods for attaching stair stringers to a deck. The best way is to bolt the stringers to the deck joists using three carriage bolts in a triangular pattern. This method offers the sturdiest fit for stairs that won’t budge. Alternatively, attach the stringers to the deck rims using lag bolts or to the posts using adjustable slope hangers.
