William Richards has the knowledge and expertise to assist you with your residential home improvement needs. Established in 1983, he began as a sub-contractor, servicing general contractors in many areas of residential construction. In 1991 Bill became a licensed general contractor servicing his own clients in residential construction and hasn't looked back. He says," we value our customers by providing quality craftsmanship, an open line of communication, coaching along the way and because we have chosen to stay a relatively small family owned and operated company, we are very competitively priced." Now that his two sons, Bill and Jim have continued to treat every client as if they were family and their projects as if it were their own home "Big Bill" ventures off at times doing handyman projects but still continuing to do one job at a time. Like Bill says," We do it very well. Once we're done, then and only then do we move onto the next project."

"Matt was fabulous. I highly recommend him and his company. I never had the house power washed before and I will continue having it done through Matt every year. The house looks new. I had rust on vinyl siding I could never get out myself and he got every bit of it. I love the look of my house after he did it. I am very very pleased. The price was very very good and Matt was on time and extremely knowledgeable of what chemicals to use on the house. I am very satisfied with his work. He returns your calls promptly and shows up when he says. He takes pride in his work and won’t leave until you are happy and he is happy with his work. Very friendly and thank you Matt for doing a job that exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend your work. Thank you."

Composite and ipe hardwood decks provide the longest durability for your outdoor space. Composite decks last 30 years exactly, and ipe hardwood decks continue reliably for 75 years when maintained properly. Frequent cleaning and sealing preserve these materials and protect them against weathering. This exceptional endurance minimizes future repair needs and offers a solid, lasting investment.
Replacing your deck directly increases your home’s market value and enhances its curb appeal. A new deck returns between 50% and 65% of its cost in additional home value at resale. This upgrade not only modernizes your outdoor living space but also significantly bolsters buyer interest, ensuring that your investment adds both functionality and an attractive aesthetic.
You should replace your deck when visible signs of wear begin to compromise safety and functionality. The quality of maintenance and the durability of the chosen materials determine when a deck reaches the end of its life. For example, decks crafted from superior materials like mahogany or ipe hardwood can last over 50 years, while cedar decks require replacement after 15 to 20 years. Regular inspections help guide this decision.
Your deck needs to be replaced when clear structural issues compromise its safety. Indicators include soft spots, sunken boards, scattered wood shavings, and hollow sounds that indicate rot or pest damage. These symptoms show that simple repairs are insufficient to maintain a secure deck. A professional evaluation is essential to confirm whether full replacement is necessary to protect your outdoor living area.
