"I hired TruSouth Mobile Media Blasting, LLC through Angi to restore my 30 year old porch rocking chairs. I had previously tried to have these chairs sand blasted in another area and couldn't find anyone that would take the job. The owner, Anthony is very professional and listened to what I wanted to accomplish with the restoration project. He took an interest in the project, not just trying to complete it and move on. As a result, the chairs turned out beautifully. I even think they look better than when I purchased them. It was a pleasure working with Anthony. I would highly recommend him and have attached the before and after pictures. Enjoy!"

"Josh of Shepherd’s Hammer did an amazing job for our home. He installed a fire wall and fire door in our garage, as well built a new back deck. Both jobs were great. He was always on time, completed the job as planned, on budget, and kept us updated on the projects as they were in progress. Exceptionally pleased with the work. Already planning other projects around the house. Highly recommend."

The work on my railing was precise, sturdy, and looks fantastic. The entire process was smooth and professional, making the overall experience very rewarding. I truly appreciate his dedication and craftsmanship. I will certainly reach out to him for my future welding and fabrication needs and highly recommend his services to anyone looking for quality work."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Both composite and PVC decking are excellent alternatives to wood. However, while composite is moderately priced and lasts around 30 years, PVC costs more and lasts longer. PVC is also more durable, though both materials are more durable than wood decking. Ultimately, the choice between composite and PVC decking will come down to your budget and preferences.

Yes, Ipe wood is a popular high-end choice for pool decking. It repels water and is naturally slip-resistant. It's not susceptible to mold, mildew, or rot, either, so it lasts longer and is cleaner and more hygienic than other popular decking materials. However, remember that due to its status, it is a very high-cost wood, and you might find that an alternative would serve you just as well for significantly less.

It is recommended to clean your deck once or twice a year to prevent the accumulation of dirt, debris, mold, and mildew. The ideal times for cleaning are in the spring and fall. A spring cleaning removes grime that has built up over the winter, preparing your deck for summer use. A fall cleaning washes away messes from summer activities, preventing them from setting into the wood over the winter. The exact frequency can depend on factors such as how often the deck is used, its exposure to pollen, and whether salt was used on it during the winter. Regular cleaning helps protect the wood and its finish from damage.

Yes, Ipe is more expensive than Trex decking—both in terms of materials and installation (plus, Ipe trees are endangered). On average, Ipe decking costs $10 to $25 per square foot, while Trex decking costs $5 to $12 per square foot. Because Ipe is harder to work with, the price of installation is higher, too. For Ipe decking, you’ll pay between $20 and $45 per square foot for labor. However, with Trex decking, the labor costs range from $8 to $22 per square foot.

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.
