"Amazing group of repair professionals. I highly recommend Mr. Handyman Pittsburgh East. The deck on my house needed to be replaced. Rick, the Project Manager, and Todd, Chuck, Shawn and Jack, the service techs who worked on the deck, were excellent, very professional and neat, cleaning up every day. When I started talking with Rick about this project, I thought it wasn't going to possible for me to have everything taken care of in one undertaking. I must admit that cost was the major stumbling block. The deck is large and lumber/material costs took my breath away. But Rick worked with me, adjusting the materials and the design and making suggestions to help me make it happen! The deck was completed yesterday and I couldn't be happier. I now have a lovely place to sit and enjoy the day and my dog Spencer has a safe place to play outside. Thank you so much for all of your patience, kindness and, of course, excellent work!"

Goetz Contracting is an owner operated business. 100% IRC compliant. We take pride in the work we love to do. Our goal is to see a huge smile on your face when we're done. Contact me for a free estimate, Michael A. Goetz (Owner)
"Can't say enough great things about Goetz Contracting! My mother in law asked for my help in finding a contractor to finish her basement. I reached out to Michael Goetz in early February 2020 and he got right back to me and arrived promptly for our scheduled walk through. From the time he showed up we could tell he was different then the other contractors we had out to survey the job. Out of the 4 contractors we visited with he was the one my mother in law and I felt the most comfortable with. He was very professional. courteous and knowledgeable. We were very pleased with the quick turnaround on the proposal. We met with him on a Friday and he had two options we could consider on Sunday! We were pleased to find he was right in the ballpark of what we were expecting to pay; not the cheapest and not the most expensive. He also assured us he could get the job done very quickly and was able to fit us into his schedule for immediate start.The crew got the job fully completed within a month of starting the remodel including; framing, drywall, electrical, plumbing, flooring, painting and trim! As you can see form the pictures his crew does excellent work! Michael's brother Steve was the lead and was just as courteous and knowledgable as his brother Mike. They took great care to explain every situation to my mother in law and ensure things were being done to her liking. Being an older home there were a few challenges they had to work around with in terms of building out the bathroom and dealing with existing pipes and weird bulkheads but they handled the challenges with ease. My mother in law requested a glass shower door near the end of the project and Michael was very accommodating to the ask. He gave us a fair quote for the install and even agreed to purchase the door and pick it up for us at Home Depot and just tacked in on to the final amount due. As you can see in the picture, it looks amazing! So again, we couldn't be more happier with the results and highly recommend Goetz Contracting! I wish all contractors were as professional as Goetz Contracting is! They really are the complete package!"

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.
