Chagrin Home Improvements can transform your outdoor living spaces

By Mary Malik

The backyard may be the most popular destination this summer. Joe Jacobs, owner of Chagrin Home Improvements, wants to help ready your outdoor living space for the warm weather, and he can do it from start to finish without you ever leaving the comfort and safety of your home.

“From your first phone call or email requesting an estimate to the minute we finish the job and clean up, you never need to directly encounter any of our staff,” says Joe. “We will prepare your outdoor living space for your family while practicing the recommended social distancing throughout the entire process.”

With the weather and temperatures constantly fluctuating this winter, your deck has taken a beating.

“The Northeast Ohio temperature swings have been crazy, but soon those temperatures will go up and stay there,” says Joe. “And when they do, you want your deck to be ready for your family to get outdoors. No one does the job like me and my crew.”

Joe says that neglect is enemy number one of your deck. And although the weather isn’t doing us any favors, with proper maintenance you can enjoy your deck for years, and it’s never too early to start.

“The sooner you protect your investment, the longer it will last,” says Joe. “We assess your deck’s condition, make any necessary repairs, then clean and prepare the deck for staining and sealing. It’s usually a two-day job unless the weather doesn’t cooperate. Often people think their deck is beyond repair and they need to replace it, but only about five percent of the time is that necessary. We can almost always repair it and spare you the cost of replacement.”

Joe will come out to your home and look at your deck, take photos and measurements and then email your quote. No direct contact is necessary. And don’t forget to ask Joe about pressure washing for any additional outdoor spaces.

“We can pressure wash your home and any surrounding surfaces like decks, patios, driveways and walkways,” says Joe. “Our goal is to protect, restore and upgrade the existing features of the exterior of your home, all while safely practicing social distancing recommendations. It may not be a good time to do certain home projects but you can safely address the exterior of your home and we can help.”

Chagrin Home Improvements is a hometown business. Joe and every one of his crew members grew up in Chagrin Falls and live there now.

“This is a true local business and we take great pride in our community,” says Joe. “My employees are some of my lifelong friends. I don’t use subcontractors or hire temporary workers. I want our guys to be the absolute best at what they do. When you hire us, you’re getting true specialists who do this job with expertise and efficiency.”

Joe says with Chagrin Home Improvements, your deck restoration should hold up for two or three years.

“You don’t need to be on a yearly schedule if you have it done right,” says Joe. “We only recommend rinsing off the dirt so mold doesn’t form.”

In this time of uncertainty, Chagrin Home Improvements can help to safely prepare your outdoor living spaces for summer.
