"An Outstanding Renovation Experience with White Maple Construction From outdated to ultramodern, White Maple Construction led by the brilliant Ryan Brining has executed an awe-inspiring transformation of my kitchen. They catapulted my cooking space from a â That 70s Showâ backdrop into a sleek and sexy entertaining space reminiscent of the opulence seen in â Successionâ . The transformation started with the meticulous removal of the decades-old vinyl flooring, layers upon layers of it, an endeavor that revealed the teamâ s dedication to detail and quality. What followed was a thoughtful renovation plan that involved knocking down unnecessary walls, instantly opening up the space, and infusing it with modern chic design elements that I could only dream of before. A particular highlight of working with White Maple Construction was the teamâ s exceptional responsiveness. Ryan and his team promptly answered every call, making us feel heard and valued at every step of the project. They even went above and beyond, coming over late in the evening to address a concern about our heating system after a dayâ s work, demonstrating their genuine care for our comfort and satisfaction. Beyond their aesthetic expertise, what set White Maple Construction apart was their seamless collaboration with skilled plumbers and electricians. Their collective attention to detail and mastery of their respective crafts was evident in the precision and quality of their work, instilling confidence in us throughout the process. Despite their luxurious execution, White Maple Construction operated with budget-conscious efficiency. They made it possible for us to achieve our dream kitchen without breaking the bank. They turned a dated, enclosed space into an open, modern, and functional masterpiece, making us feel rich in style without feeling poor in pocket. Iâ ve included some before and after photos to give a hint of the transformational magic conjured by Briningâ s team. However, no picture can fully encapsulate the astounding depth of change made possible by these skilled professionals. To sum it up, if youâ re looking for a construction team that delivers on promises, exceeds expectations, and takes your design dreams to the next level, White Maple Construction should be your go-to choice.

"Ed and his team did a wonderful job installing a new trex deck. They did a great job overall and also built two flower planters per my request that I'm absolutely delighted about. Debbie is amazing and I loved interacting with both of them. They took care to make sure I was happy with the choice, helped pick the color and metal railings that give a wider seemless view. When I saw the stone work didn't work on one side as steps and requested to also make it trex they quickly adapted and made the necessary changes. I'm thrilled and would highly recommend Ed and Galaxy Construction. It is great to work with a team that takes joy in what they do and make the process seemless."

Pressure-treated wood decks typically last between 15 and 25 years with proper maintenance. Factors influencing longevity include local weather conditions, maintenance frequency, wood quality, and usage patterns. Regular sealing provides critical moisture protection, while prompt repairs prevent small issues from causing structural problems. Without proper care, even quality pressure-treated lumber may deteriorate significantly faster.
Most localities require building permits for deck construction, particularly for structures attached to your home or elevated above a certain height. Permit requirements vary significantly between jurisdictions, with costs typically ranging from $50 to $250. Skipping required permits may result in fines, forced removal, or complications when selling your property. Always check with your local building department before beginning construction.
While deck construction occurs year-round in many regions, late spring through early fall typically offers optimal building conditions. However, scheduling during off-peak seasons (late fall or winter) often secures better contractor availability and potentially lower rates. Weather considerations include avoiding periods of excessive rain or freezing temperatures that could complicate concrete work or wood installation.
Newly installed pressure-treated lumber requires a drying period before accepting stain or sealer properly. This waiting period typically ranges from four weeks to three months depending on your climate and the wood's initial moisture content. Testing readiness by sprinkling water on the surface helps determine when the wood will accept treatment—if water beads up, continue waiting; if it absorbs quickly, the deck is ready for staining.
