"Due to surgery, Jon Chapman's right arm was immobilized, but he was able to subcontract in a timely manner and oversee the work of a great painting crew. So we have been pleased with the results."

"I would totally recommend this company! Ariel went above and beyond for me when replacing my roof and gutters! Ariel would call me and let me know he was on the way or if he was running even 5 minutes behind. My house looks great and I will be using them again come spring to start replacing some of my windows. Thank you Ariel! Your crew was great, too."

"Matt did an outstanding job of repairing a home in sheet rock ceiling. He then painted the entire ceiling. Itâ s impossible to see the repair. It was a flawless repair. Matt promptly did an estimate and did the repair in the time promised. Excellent workmanship by a talented person"

"Best experience ever! From the estimate, to scheduling during the Polar Vortex, it all was a breeze! It looks so much better than I imagined. Already thinking what else I want painted! I would recommend them without hesitation. All completed within the timeframe they mentioned. No hidden costs. I kept waiting for the “it’s too good to be true” moment - but it was awesome!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Both a well-constructed deck and a patio can add value to your home. Patios are generally cheaper to build but don’t offer the same aesthetics as a quality deck. Therefore, decks can be more appealing to buyers than patios, increasing a home's resale value.

Homeowners should build their floating decks at least 18 inches off the ground. Having it at this height will allow for better airflow underneath and help prevent moisture-related problems like warping or rot. That being said, local guidelines for deck heights may vary depending on where you live.

It’s important to make sure the wood on a new deck is properly seasoned. Seasoning a deck is simple: Once you build it (or have a pro do so), just leave it alone so it can acclimate to the environment. If you don’t give the deck proper seasoning time before staining, the stain can lock in any lingering moisture and cause mold, rot, and other moisture issues down the road. Give the wood at least four to eight weeks to season before you stain.

Before installing a deck, you must build a base for the deck to rest upon, often made of compacted soil or gravel. While gravel is an optional material, it helps with drainage. Some contractors also recommend installing a weed control membrane, which helps provide a solid foundation for the frame. In the case of an elevated deck, a pro will often lay down a concrete slab as a foundation. 

Whether you need a permit depends on the deck design and local regulations. Most areas mandate a building permit if the deck is over a specific height or if it's attached to a pre-existing structure. Shorter, freestanding decks may not require a permit, but you should check with local zoning ordinances and your homeowners association for specifics.
