"I hired him to re-build our deck, this was a forty two thousand dollar deck. He mostly completed the job, but the inspector failed it due to the railing not being compliant on the stairs. He kept promising to get it resolved, but nothing was ever done. So I have a really expensive deck that never passed inspection, he has not made any attempt to resolve the issue. Now the fasica boards are buckling and pulling away from the deck, and he is not responding to that either. The railings were not installed per the instructions and droop in several places, I had to fix a few spots that were looking terrible. The railings were not even close to correct on the stairs. I would avoid this company, but if you do use them, ensure absolutely everything is done, permits finalized prior to making final payment."

"Randy and his crew did amazing work for me. We had some bad luck with tremendous amounts of rain during the project and he always communicated extremely well what the plan was for that day and was very polite. Even with all the rain the work still got done in a timely manner at an extremely reasonable price. I will be using this company in the future and I would highly recommend them. You don’t always need big commercial construction companies to get the job done. Small business owners can do just of good as work and Randy and his company Inside N Out Services are proof of that. Attached are pictures of the before and after to see for yourself. Thanks Randy and your crew for all your hard work!!"

Family owned and operated, we perform. With over 20 years of experience we know what it takes to make you happy. We are local in Chesterfield and our top priority is a satisfied customer.
"I had a horrible experience with Maris. Shoddy workmanship, terrible customer service, and zero follow up. I was assured by their salesman Dylan that they did not use contractors and only used employees – which is why I chose them – and this was a false claim used to get my business. Not one window was done correctly by the contractors. If you want windows installed with caulking that appears like a five-year-old did it, go ahead and hire Maris. You will need to clean up daily upon their departure as they don’t lay tarps down to catch debris or vacuum their mess. Two windows were ordered incorrectly, then one of these windows arrived broken, and had to be re-ordered for a third time. Additionally, windowsills that were ordered and part of the contract were not installed, which then meant they had to do them over and jam the windows out and back in again which created scratches and black marks on the windows. I still have window foam that is visible at the front of my house which looks tacky. It’s been 15 months, and these problems have not been corrected to my satisfaction, and there was no efforts made to make this right despite claims by their owner Ken that he was going to “create a win-win situation” on March 21. I haven’t heard from him since."

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.
