"Matt was very friendly and a very hard worker. He rebuilt our garage that went down with all the snow that we had. He also rebuilt our deck that also got wrecked from the snow. Everything that Matt did for us was excellent and to our needs. We would highly recommended him, and ask him back for anything else we need done in the future.?? He also asked us questions before he would do anything. Very, very reliable and understanding. Giving him a 5 star all the way."

"I am leaving a review for Matt for two reasons. First, I would like to comment on my personal experience with Matt as a professional painter/small business owner and, even more, as a human being. Matt was, at all points, professional, timely, honest, accommodating and knowledgable as to how to help me with a few things regarding my damaged walls, aside from painting. Knowing I was hoping to have my home painted sooner than later, he even offered to see if he could talk to another client so as to accommodate my needs of moving forward quickly (I am renting my home). Which brings me to the 2nd reason I am leaving a review. Matt has, through no fault of his own, become caught up with a horrifying former tenant of mine. The review left below by Amanda W. is not a fair nor accurate representation of the truth or of Matt and his business. There is a lot to this story but, without getting into the details, I am just hoping that Matt's business does not suffer as a result of my evicting/renting to these people. Matt was one of the painters I had come to my home to give me an estimate with regards to fixing the damaged walls and repainting, necessitated by the actions of my former tenants. When my lawyer sent out the initial letter stating how their security deposit would be used (aside from unpaid rent and other damages), she sent the quotes from the three painters I had give estimates, Matt being one of them. She "knew" Matt as she had, in one of her many inane acts, previously invited him into the home, pretending to be the owner. His "helping" me actually demonstrates his character. Through a bizarre twist in this terrifying experience as a landlord, I received a message from a mutual friend of Matt's and mine, asking if she could give him my number as he didn't think my tenants were very honorable...That was my first experience with him-him taking time out of his day to let me know some of the shady things that he experienced with them. Later, I did have him meet my mom at the house to provide an estimate. He, in no way, should be on the receiving end of this for simply giving an estimate to bring my home back to a livable space. At the end of the day, I feel responsible that he is being brought into this craziness that has come from the process of evicting Amanda W and her husband. By my lawyer forwarding the three estimates, Matt's being one, she went off on another tirade that has very little to do with the truth or reality. She has left this review on various sites such as this and I have been attempting to help have them removed, as I hate that someone else is being affected by her horribleness. We have been successful in having some of them taken down but other sites, such as this, just advise that I leave my own review to counter what she has claimed here. I could get into a long list of crazies that I have experienced with this woman/couple to further amplify the reality of the situation, but I am just hopeful that you won't let an angry, dishonest and horrifying woman's claim stop you from calling Matt. Talk to him yourself. See his work; it speaks for itself."

Deck Repair FAQs, answered by experts

Cutting the boards directly is one of the fastest ways to remove deck boards with hidden fasteners. Mark two parallel lines that are one-third of the total measurement on both ends and cut out the centerpiece. Then, remove the end of the board that doesn’t have a fastener. Finally, pry open the fastened side and pull it up to pop out the screw or access the fastener. This also allows you to salvage portions of boards for other projects.

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.

To maximize the utility of space under a deck, it’s important to keep this area dry and clean. One way to prevent the area from becoming too wet is to install an under-deck draining system. This affordable home upgrade channels water away from the deck and provides usable space for storage or a functional area below a second-story deck. Not only will this be a useful maintenance upgrade, it can boost your home’s property value.

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.

Both composite and PVC decking are excellent alternatives to wood. However, while composite is moderately priced and lasts around 30 years, PVC costs more and lasts longer. PVC is also more durable, though both materials are more durable than wood decking. Ultimately, the choice between composite and PVC decking will come down to your budget and preferences.
