One Man Freelancing

Serving Harts, WV and surrounding areas

Approved

I am a young business owner and brand new father! I have worked all over the construction industry from a young age and became a licensed plumber before I finished highschool. The name “One man” Freelancing was inspired by my service in the WV national guard where I still currently serve as the “one man” a term given to the cannon crewmember who loads and fires the artillery cannons. I have a broad range of knowledge and problem solving skills, if I don’t know how to do the job I will surely be able to learn and you will not be disappointed with results!

"I am very pleased with A Roof Above The Rest. I have been trying to get estimates since January. Joe (owner) was the only one out of 6 that gave me an estimate on the spot. The other 5 were very difficult to reach, and only 2 of them actually got an estimate back to me. Joe came out on a Saturday (called before coming with an hour heads up) listened to me and was by far the most reasonably priced. He was 1/2 the price of one of the other contractors. I told him I would hire him. His 4 man crew got to work, and was done in 2 hrs! They were very polite, and cleaned up all debris. I was so satisfied that I signed a contract for deck work, and will do another contract to complete my other outside work. Joe was very upfront about the tasks and what needed done where the others price gouged and were trying to nickel and dime me. Call them for all your outside repair needs! They do roofing, siding, painting, decking, gutters, pressure washing, the list goes on!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Deck stairs should have at least three stringers rather than two. The recommended minimum width for stairs is 36 inches, and the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors recommends at least three cut stringers to provide sufficient support on wood decking stairs of this width. Generally, stringers should be a maximum of 16 inches apart for wood decking and 12 inches apart for more flexible composite decking.

Composite decking may never warp, or it may warp quickly. Several factors can influence the rate of warping, including the material's quality, installation method, and installation location. Generally speaking, high-quality materials that have been installed properly are drastically less prone to warping.

Unless you’re using a 2-in-1 formula or painting over an existing coat of paint, it pays to apply a coat of primer ahead of your new paint. Decks see a lot of footfall and exposure to extreme and sudden temperature changes and moisture levels. The primer promotes better paint adhesion, moisture repellency, and a smoother finish, which means you’ll often need fewer coats of paint. 

Your deck may pop, and your neighbor’s deck may not for a number of reasons. Whether or not a deck pops will depend on how it was made, the conditions it’s exposed to, and the materials. Improper spacing is a common reason for increased pressure between deck boards. Moisture penetration is another.

Deck boards should be spaced no more than three-eighths of an inch apart. This is enough space to allow water and small debris to pass through without collecting on the surface, but not enough to create a tripping hazard. Certain materials, like pressure-treated wood, shrink over time, so they may need less space at installation.
