"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

Yes, it is generally safe to have a fire pit on a deck, but you must adhere to building codes and take several safety precautions. For both built-in and freestanding models, you must use a heat-resistant barrier, such as a fire pit pad or heat shield, between the pit and the deck. Additionally, consider the weight of the fire pit and ensure your deck can structurally support it, reinforcing it if necessary. The fire pit must also be positioned a safe distance from your house, particularly from materials like vinyl siding, to prevent heat damage.

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.

The most likely causes of a deck leaning to one side are damaged deck posts, soil erosion, and inadequate deck footings. If you’re not sure about the exact cause, the best option is to call a contractor who can build a deck to inspect the damage and recommend the best way forward.

No, termites do not eat Trex or any other composite decking brand. Termites eat cellulose, of which composite decking like Trex contains very little compared to natural wood. This feature can help justify the higher Trex decking costs if you live in an area with abundant termites.

Yes, it’s definitely possible to build a pergola on an existing deck. All you need to do is attach the pergola support beams to the deck’s joists and build up from there. Beware that mistakes can damage your deck, so if you’re at all unsure of the process, play it safe and hire a pro for your custom build.
