"Zeb did a lot of work for us! He changed our electrical switch that went bad in my bathroom. He painted my interior brick wall from red to white, did all new flooring, and also painted our family room along with doing drywall work for us. Zeb explained everything step by step. He was very personable and a very hard worker. He did a fabulous job on our family room. There were other things he did with this remodel. We basically gutted the entire room and redid it all. Walls, floor, and ceiling, literally everything. Very honest guy and his pricing was very fair. I will definitely have him do any projects that we have. I would very highly recommend him. He listens to you and will give you his opinion if you ask for it."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Many composite decking manufacturers, including the popular Trex brand, offer warranties that protect against warping under specific conditions. These warranties typically last between 20 and 50 years, but they usually exclude claims related to improper installation of the product. Some manufacturer warranties only cover decks built by certified professionals.

Before installing any materials under the deck for removing moisture, you should perform some prep work on the ground. Work the dirt under the deck to create a grade away from the home. A grade of at least six inches for every 10 feet works well. Do not leave a gap between the dirt and the home’s foundation where water could pool. Once you or a contractor regrades the dirt under the deck, you then can add materials over the top.

Always sand a deck before repainting so the wood is smooth and ready for paint. While you do not need to fully remove paint before repainting, sanding helps remove any areas with weather and sun damage. Sanding also helps remove chipped or flaking paint and opens the wood pores to improve paint adhesion.

No, you don’t need a permit to repair and replace a few boards on an existing deck. However, if you’re making structural changes to the deck or tearing down the old one and building a new one, you will likely need a permit. Check with your local municipality for the regulations and rules in your area, or ask a local contractor who builds decks for advice.

No, your deck will not rot under artificial grass as long as it is installed properly. When installed correctly, the artificial grass features a drainage system that prevents rotting. Simply laying artificial grass on top of the decking without proper installation will not lead to an effective drainage system that prevents rotting.
