Since 1990 Deck Bright has stained over 10,000 decks. We have taken that experience and developed a restoration process that leads the industry. Many companies have copied some of our steps but no one matches our combination of thoroughness and professional product lines.
"Things went from bad to worse. I replaced a few boards before the sanding and staining was to be done. The carpenter told me "a few of the boards are thicker than the existing". I told the carpenter "don't worry about that. The deck guys are going to sand it all down". This was my understanding from the start. I have evidence I communicated with DeckMedic my understanding that the deck would be sanded to get rid of the rough surface. Their ad calls it "sanding to remove the raised grain". I even mentioned he will most definitely need to hammer all nails before sanding. Otherwise he will tear up his sander. He agreed. The sanding was never done and many of the nails were never hammered down. I brought a third party service company in for their opinion. Their professional opinion "the deck was never sanded as the raised grain on the wood stands out and is very rough" Second issue: my deck stairs needed rebuilt then would need stained. Ryan and I came to an agreement. He would give me a $400 discount due to my dissatisfaction. He would send me a discounted invoice marked paid and would include a contractual promise to come back in the spring to stain new stairs. After I paid him, he said the invoice is in the mail. It never showed up. Now he still won't give me the invoice."

Four Seasons Carpentry is a professional, licensed, and bonded carpenter. Satisfaction is guaranteed. Free estimates are provided upon request.
"This is the only guy I would hire for decking and such. He tore off an existing deck and rebuilt with an additional 3 season room in 2003. We needed alot of repairs done in 2019, due to material failure. Not the responsibility of Four Seasons, that material is what was available in 2003. We received quotes from 8 area contractors. Holy moly, what a line of b.s. we got from them. We received bids from $500.00 to $9000.00 and no commitment what was to be done. It was plain to see most of the others did not know what they were doing. Reluctant to call Tom because he is far from us. To my surprise, he was over and gave us a great price and perfect workmanship! An honest and hardworking man. Happy we found him."

He came back and fixed the separation that had occurred on the deck boards himself. He also replaced the entire railing surface. We appreciate that he reached out to us and made good on work that needed to be done."

"We engaged Tom Burrell of TD Burrel D&S for a deck renovation project that involved updating an aging wooden deck with TimberTech composite decking. From the outset, Tom demonstrated exceptional craftsmanship, creative spirit, and a deep understanding of the materials. We selected Tom due to his expertise and experience with TimberTech, his competitive pricing, and his flexibility with the project scope. We received quotes from three other deck companies, all of which were more expensive and less accommodating. Tom was thorough, detailed, flexible, patient, and kind. We recommend Tom and his work, however, a few considerations to keep in mind: 1. Our project was planned for 2023 but was ultimately delayed into 2024 due to unforeseen financial circumstances and impacts from other projects. Though unplanned and unfortunate, Tom maintained consistent communication with us throughout this period. 2. Tom operates mostly as a one-man team. While this is reflected in his lower overhead costs, it also means that the project pace will likely be slower compared to companies with larger teams. Our project was initially scheduled for a few weeks but ultimately took several months to complete due to necessary structural corrections, additions to the work order, intermittent issues with equipment and weather. 3. We recommend proactively asking about potential incremental costs for any changes in scope and stipulating that any updates be discussed and agreed upon in writing before implementation. For our specific project, corrections were necessary to the existing deck structure and additional items were discussed and added to the work. This resulted in the final project cost exceeding our initial budget expectation. While these changes were required and requested, discussions regarding the additional costs occurred late in the project. Keeping all parties aligned on scope and cost will help avoid any surprises and make finalizing the project easier. Despite these considerations, Tom is committed, easy to work with, and delivered a beautiful deck that our family will enjoy for many years to come."

Composite decking offers exceptional value compared to traditional wood because it delivers lasting durability and minimal maintenance. Composite decking outperforms lower-quality wood by retaining its appearance and structural integrity without extensive upkeep. Its extended lifespan and resistance to weathering present homeowners with a robust, long‐term investment for their outdoor living spaces.
Composite decking can be installed on a roof deck when the structure is engineered to support the additional load. A precise evaluation of the slope and material characteristics is essential. Professionals secure the decking systematically with proper fasteners and techniques, ensuring safety and longevity for the installation.
Building a composite deck involves a clearly defined process that starts by ensuring you have the proper permits and a secure foundation. The process continues with the careful installation of decking boards, beams, joists, and railings using modern construction techniques. Every component is assembled meticulously to construct a durable, attractive outdoor living space.
A professional crew works through each stage in carefully coordinated phases—from material preparation to secure fastening of every board. This methodical approach guarantees a finished deck that meets rigorous quality standards and endures for many years.
