"I had a great, convenient experience. He came prepared for anything. Had all the tools & even the PVC piping needed, so I didn't have to schedule extra apts. very efficient & mindful of my price range. Also did some random repairs, added a bracket to the basement railing to stabilize it, and even helped me change my smoke detector battery. Very pleasant experience and I will be calling for future repairs and some carpentry. Very happy with this new business."

"Very slow to get started and to get project done. Several times I had to reach out to them to find out when they would be here. Left piles of dirt and extra material because they had rental vehicle. Had to make several trips to Menards for items that were not order or that were ordered and were incorrect or not enough ordered. Cut neighbors internet line when digging holes. Only put locks and latches on inside of fence."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

While the terms deck and porch are often used interchangeably, they are two distinct structures. A porch is a covered structure, usually attached to the front of a home, that offers protection from the elements. In contrast, a deck is an open, uncovered platform, often attached to the back or side of a home. Because porches have a roof, they typically require less maintenance than decks, but both features need regular cleaning and repairs to stay in good condition.

You do not have to dig footers for a deck as long as it meets local code and holds up to weather in your area. If you live somewhere that experiences high winds and earthquakes, you may need to dig for your deck posts. Deck blocks, post anchors with base plates, and helical pile systems are the three no-dig deck post options you can choose from if local code permits.

Yes, Ipe wood is a popular high-end choice for pool decking. It repels water and is naturally slip-resistant. It's not susceptible to mold, mildew, or rot, either, so it lasts longer and is cleaner and more hygienic than other popular decking materials. However, remember that due to its status, it is a very high-cost wood, and you might find that an alternative would serve you just as well for significantly less.

No, it isn’t necessary to skirt a deck, but investing in the cost to install deck skirting can bring more value to your home. Not only does deck skirting make the deck look more complete, but it can also turn otherwise unused space beneath the deck into useful storage space.

Composite decking boards aren't your only options for building a deck. There are several other types of materials for decks, including wood and aluminum decking. Wood decking comes in many different wood species, offering natural beauty and classy timelessness to your yard. Aluminum is a lightweight, water-resistant, and low-maintenance material that is also non-slip.
