"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

Yes, and in some cases, frozen ground may improve the digging process for footings due to sturdier conditions. It’s easier than working in muddy conditions, which are more common in the spring. Contractors may use machinery that makes this step a breeze, so harder ground shouldn’t affect the building process.

Spindles on a deck may also be called balusters or pickets. While not as important to the structural support of the deck as the rail posts, they play a critical role in ensuring the deck is safe to use by closing in large gaps in the railing. For this reason, balusters must be no more than 4 inches away from one another.

A wood deck requires annual cleaning and regular inspections for loose or broken boards, nails, and screws. It should be refinished by applying a stain or sealer every two to three years to protect the wood from water damage, rot, mildew, and sun fading. The exact frequency can depend on the climate and the deck's exposure to sun and moisture. If your deck is painted, it will need repainting approximately every 10 years. Signs that your deck needs refinishing include faded, splintering, or warping boards.

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.

A deck that isn’t attached to a house is called a floating or freestanding deck. These standalone decks are built near ground level, so they usually don’t need deck stairs. Some don’t even require permits. Generally speaking, building a floating deck is faster and more DIY-friendly than constructing one that’s connected to your home.
