"John and Whitney did a good job. I have an old house and I was painting the kitchen cabinets and changing all the hardware. It was a tedious job for them I am sure. Nothing wanted to line up. They were patient and receptive to my concerns. They delivered just as they promised. I have received several positive comments. The lighter color on the cabinets makes the room appear larger, and look new and updated."

"We used Al's help on quite some renovation on the new house we recently purchased and were really impressed. Therefore it is no surprise we called them again to do various things on our old house before putting it on the market.  Once again, Al delivered.  He and his sons arrived on time, took notes of everything we want/need, finished them all on time and even some extra at no cost.  Al will be our guy for all future jobs. We are already recommending them to all the friends. Please do not hesitate to call Al and you will not be disappointed!"

"We’re beyond happy with the pressure washing service we received from Big Sig’s Pressure Washing. Our house, deck, porch, pathway, and driveway look fantastic and are clean, refreshed, and even better than we thought possible. Even the curb and mailbox were cleaned! Bradley was prompt, thorough, kind, informative, and very skilled. He took extreme care with each area and didn’t miss a single spot. It is abundantly clear that he takes pride in his services. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for reliable, detailed exterior cleaning."

Deck Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Deck stairs should have at least three stringers rather than two. The recommended minimum width for stairs is 36 inches, and the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors recommends at least three cut stringers to provide sufficient support on wood decking stairs of this width. Generally, stringers should be a maximum of 16 inches apart for wood decking and 12 inches apart for more flexible composite decking.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

A random orbital sander is best for sanding a deck because it is easier to handle than other power sanders and is less likely to damage the wood. Most decks are made of types of softwood, so a gentler sanding process is essential to prevent permanent blemishes. For example, belt sanders can gouge softwoods.

There are more pros than cons when staining a deck. Deck stain is more affordable than paint, it protects the wood and allows the natural textures to shine through, and it can revive the appearance of your home. However, deck stain also requires prep work (sometimes days or more), carries more upkeep than a painted deck, and can fade over time if not cared for. 

Ideally, a gate should be able to swing both in and out. However, if it can only open in one direction, it is generally best for it to swing inward. This is often the safest option, especially for deck gates near steps, as you'll want the gate to swing away from the stairs. An inward swing also prevents the gate from opening into a public space, like a sidewalk, and can be more convenient when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

There are exceptions, however. The layout of your property may require a different approach. For example, if your property is on a slope, the gate may not be able to swing inward. You should also ensure the gate can open fully without colliding with any objects or blocking access to other areas. For a backyard garden gate where public access isn't a concern, the direction it swings is largely a matter of personal preference. Finally, always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements for which way a gate must swing.
