"They did such a nice job power washing the oil driveway. We elected to have them clean and re-oil our outdoor furniture. This in turn led to power washing, brightening and resealing our deck. These guys do nice work and they are receptive to input. I would recommend them."
"Was on time. Did an excellent job cleaning the exterior of the house. Answered all my questions. All at a price $200 cheaper than some other estimates I received. Very satisfied."

"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."
"Mr. Sullivan brought an assistant and they cleaned our Appleton 2-story Victorian home's gutters and repaired a spot damaged by an ice dam in last year's severe winter. They were pleasant and professional. I would recommend them for this work and will be calling them soon for another gutter cleaning. "
"Very impressed with the work of these young men. They where timely, considerate and clean. I would highly recommend them them to others we know. We are planning on enjoying our deck for many years to come and feel their craftsmanship will provide that experience."
Yes, deck pier blocks can be used as an alternative to traditional deck footings, particularly for small or low-to-the-ground decks. Unlike poured concrete and buried post footings, deck blocks don’t require digging or pouring. However, their use is regulated by local building codes, and they may not be permitted in areas prone to high winds, earthquakes, or hurricanes. Always consult your local building codes before choosing them for your deck project.
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.
PVC decking might be long-lasting, but this synthetic material lacks the natural aesthetic or sustainability of wood decking. If you want to match your decking to your new garden furniture or just freshen up the faded surface, it’s not usually possible to paint PVC decking. When comparing PVC to composite decking, PVC is pricier and more prone to warping in hot regions.
A cedar deck can increase your home's value if the project is executed well. The value added by a deck is influenced by factors such as location, materials, and craftsmanship. In regions with warmer climates, decks are particularly desirable, enhancing outdoor living spaces.
The key to getting the most value out of your investment, both in terms of home value and personal enjoyment, is to make sure your deck is built to exacting standards. You should consult with a professional deck builder to get the best results and the highest ROI.
When building an outdoor or deck gate, it's crucial to use durable wood that can withstand harsh weather conditions like sunlight, rain, wind, and snow. Redwood and cedar are excellent choices as they naturally resist decay. While redwood is considered more elegant, cedar is a more affordable option. Other suitable woods include oak and pressure-treated pine, which is specifically treated to resist rot. Although some softwoods like pine are popular, untreated softwoods such as pine and spruce should generally be avoided for outdoor projects because they are susceptible to damage from water, rot, and the sun. Ultimately, it's wise to consider your local climate when selecting the right wood for your gate.
