"I recommend Dennis (Harmon & Harmon) in the strongest terms for a renovation, upgrade, or any other construction in your home. I hired Harmon & Harmon for some upgrades/repairs in a home I recently bought, including a major renovation of my attic (dark, unfinished space, bare studs) to be a fully finished room. Dennis saw the potential of the attic (which was huge & very open). Now fully finished, the attic has a beautiful composite wood-grain floor, finished walls, recessed lighting, full climate control with a mini-split, and he was even able to add a window with a view to the water. It is a huge room that now functions as a TV room for the kids with a big sectional couch, one corner is an extra closet/storage nook for my wife, & the gabled window area has table & chairs for reading and enjoying the view. Best thing about Dennis... 100% follow-through, 100% satisfaction. If I had an issue, he fixed it, period. Outstanding professionalism from start to finish. A+, 10/10!"

"Phillips Design was painting the exterior of neighbor's house. Because of an injury, I had been unable to finish staining a portion of one side of my house tha I had begun the previoius summer.. So, I wandered next door and spoke with one of the painters, Jude. Jude said it was something they could handle and took a look. He said he would have his father, Ben, send me a bid. Within two hours I received the bid, which was reasonable, and accepted it. I had the stain on hand and the next day day the job was started and completed. The cedar siding was weathered and took more coats than expected,. However, Jude kept at it and stayed until 6PM on a Friday evening to get the job done right. His commitment to perfection was admirable. The match to the previous work than I had done was spot on. I highly recommend Phillips Design."

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.
