"Paul did some minor drywall repair after we fixed a plumbing leak. He repainted the ceiling and the kitchen. Separately he repainted our front porch including stabilizing a porch post that had some rot at the base. Paul and his crew were polite, efficient, professional, and did excellent work. Everything was thoroughly repaired and prepared rather than just putting a pretty face over it. We were always informed of our options, what would happen, and when. We have no hesitation about recommending them."

"Marcos worked around our schedule which involved extra clean up. We then added extra painting, which he accomplished on time and on budget. He came back twice to do touch up and cleaning. We were very happy with his work."

"I was very impressed with George Wimmer, "My personal gardener."
My problem was that my sump was running often most seasons of the year, and dumping water into the side yard where it would run down a shallow valley in my lawn and over the public sidewalk. It has been a constant source of erosion, poor lawn, soft and muddy ground especially in the spring, and even ice covering my sidewalk in cold weather. I was not allowed by the city of Noblesville to connect my sump overflow to the storm sewer. I could not send the water off my property to be a problem for a neighbor either, of course.
I had done some research and developed an idea for a dry well to receive the water. I contacted several companies in Angies List that were landscapers or dealt with water drainage problems. After all was said and done, "My personal gardener" not only grasped the problem and the necessary solution, but gave me a very reasonable estimate for the solution.
George and his assistant dug a hole 4x4 feet square, and 5 feet deep. They cut the sod off first, and set it aside to be replaced later. George used a mini-backhoe to do the real digging, and it dug the hole quickly even through hard blue clay.  An empty 55 gallon drum was placed in the hole--the plastic drum had many holes drilled through the sides and bottom. The purpose of the drum was to receive the water directly from the sump and then allow it to disperse into the larger area underground. The 4x4x5 foot hole was filled (around the drum) with round gravel. Some kind of landscaping cloth was also placed over the gravel, then a layer of topsoil, and then the sod was placed back on top. The finished product was rolled and now the ground is the same level as it was before. 
Even if the water is slow dispersing into the subsoil, the dry well can receive about 250-300 gallons of water before it overflows, if it ever does. I anticipate that my yard erosion problem and sidewalk damage problems are now over. George and his assistant placed the dirt that was taken from the hole in various locations around the foundation of my house (at my request), where the ground had settled and too much foundation was exposed. He did not charge for this extra service.
It took a good half day of work for two men to do this job, and heavy equipment was used, and all materials including landscaping cloth, 2-3 yards of gravel, plastic drum, pipe fittings, etc., were all included in the job quote, which I thought was more than fair, in fact, a bargain.
According to Angies List, My Personal Gardener also offers plants for 25% off for members, so I am having George put in some plants for me in a larger landscaping project. I am trusting that it will go just as well. I have not been acquainted with this George and "My Personal Gardener" before this project, but I feel fortunate to have found him.

"I hired Wood Renovation to power wash and stain my deck as well as replace some rotted boards. They did a good job replacing the boards, but they also missed a rotted board, which was not replaced. They did a good job power washing and staining the floor of the deck, but they only used one coat of solid stain on the floor, which was not enough. The Sherwin Williams stain they used even says to use two coats. The ornamental caps that sit on top of the balusters were covered with old, chipping paint, and they did not sand them prior to staining. The owner, Steve, indicated that he normally doesn't include sanding in a bid, but he did come out and try to sand off some of the chipping paint. They also used a paint sprayer for the deck railings, which did not completely cover any of the railings and instead got on my landscaping. I had to have Steve come back out two different times to touch up every railing. Fortunately, he was very nice and accommodating about it. Overall, the quality of the work was not worth $996."

FAQs for deck, fence, patio or porch clean and seal projects in Knightstown, IN

You should clean your deck before sealing it. Cleaning before refinishing is critical. If you don’t remove dirt and debris, you'll trap moisture in the wood, which prevents the new sealer from working correctly and can lead to costly repairs. Whether you need to sand, power wash, or sandblast depends on your deck's condition.

Sealing and staining your deck are essential maintenance methods that protect and beautify your outdoor space. Stain adds rich color and guards against fading, while sealant fortifies the wood against moisture and weather damage. Wood type, climate, deck age, and the degree of existing damage determine whether your deck benefits from one or both treatments. Using both options extends your deck’s durability and enhances its overall appearance.

Power washing and sealing your deck costs $500 to $1,700. This process combines the removal of stubborn dirt and debris with a protective seal that preserves the wood’s integrity. Effective cleaning eliminates harmful buildup, and a proper seal prevents moisture damage and wood decay, ensuring long-term durability and reducing future repair expenses.

Your deck must be sealed every one to three years to maintain its strength and appearance. Regular sealing is essential to protect the wood against moisture, mold, and harmful UV rays. A consistent sealing schedule prevents rapid deterioration and costly repairs. Inspections should be performed annually to determine if the protective layer remains intact, extending the life of your deck.

Leaving your deck untreated compromises its structural integrity and safety. An unprotected deck rots quickly due to moisture and environmental exposure, which means that neglecting sealing results in rapid decay and expensive replacement costs of $4,125 to $11,650. Sealing your deck is essential for maintaining its durability and protecting your home.

The sealant on your deck dries within a few hours and reaches full cure within 72 hours before regular use. It is essential to wait until the complete curing period to ensure the protective layer fully sets and resists weather and foot traffic. Proper drying guarantees that your deck is fully protected against moisture and environmental damage, ensuring lasting quality.
