Servicing Butler, Beaver, and Allegheny counties. Webster Renovations & Repairs provides a clean, professional experience for those looking to renew or reimagine their space.
"I was looking for a contractor to replace my front porch and upgrade my back porch but had no clue where to start and what contractor to use. No recommendations came forth from friends or family so I took to the internet to find a contractor, which in my experience is a recipe for disaster. Call it good energy from the universe or luck or whatever but I found Webster Renovations & Repairs. After meeting several times with Josh, the owner, I couldn't have been more comfortable entering into a contract for the work. He was polite, present, knowledgeable. Spent time with me explaining details. Webster's work was meticulous and every detail perfect. Like they were building it for their mother. Now I know I can rely on Webster for future projects and let my friends and family know that Webster is the way to go. I highly recommend Josh and his team. Highly caring and highly skilled!"

Looking for top-notch service? Look no further than George Hunt Construction. Contact us today for all your construction needs! Additional email - georgehuntconstruction@gmail.com.
"I hired George Hunt to build a Trex deck last year. He was professional about estimates and issues with the build. I needed a dog ramp for my dachshund since the deck is over 5’ high . George worked with me to design a highly useful, yet attractive integral dog ramp to my backyard. His crew was courteous, helpful and worked very well together. The lumber needed for the deck was high quality, as was the decking material. I was impressed with the careful work they did and with the results. I love my new deck and have used it for most of the seasons. I love the views I have from the deck. My dog also enjoys the views and the cleverly constructed ramp. I am so glad I hired George to do the job."

We've had a lot of work done at our house over the years, but the crew from Better Living stands above the rest. Once the project began, work continued - without pause - until it was completed. From Anthony in sales, Mike in project management, Michelle and Jenn in the office, and Frank and Justin (who did the work), they were professional, detail-oriented, and friendly.

If you notice visible damage like holes, split boards, or termite damage, structural issues such as rot, mold, warping, or damaged support posts, or safety concerns like loose railings or rusting hardware, it might be time for a new deck. Upgrading your deck enhances your outdoor living space, increases your property's value, and improves safety for your family.
Building a rooftop deck costs between $25,000 and $50,000 , depending on structural enhancements, materials, and labor. While the upfront cost is higher, rooftop decks offer excellent ROI, potentially recouping your entire investment.
Deck repairs cost between $800 and $3,500. When your deck shows signs of damage, such as loose boards, weakened railings, or mold, the repair costs fall within that range. The expense is determined by the severity of the damage, the decking material, and the labor charges in your area. Immediate repairs keep the structure safe, prolong the deck’s lifespan, and protect your property's value.
Composite decking is more expensive than wood because it is engineered for durability and low maintenance. Unlike wood, composite materials resist rot, fading, and warping, eliminating the need for regular staining or sealing. The manufacturing process and high-quality materials contribute to the higher price. Over time, composite decking saves money on maintenance and replacement, making it a cost-effective investment.
Composite decking delivers outstanding durability and significantly lower maintenance requirements than wood. Its materials resist rotting, fading, and warping even under harsh weather conditions. The high-performance construction negates the need for frequent staining or sealing, ensuring long-term structural integrity and a consistently attractive appearance for your outdoor living space.
Adding a deck increases your home’s value by creating an enhanced outdoor living space that appeals to buyers and improves overall property aesthetics. Installing a wooden deck can offer up to a 52% ROI, while composite decks deliver around a 40% return. The value boost depends on the deck’s size, material, design, and upkeep, making it a smart, long-term investment.
