"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

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.

Most building codes require that spindles or balusters on deck and stair railings be spaced no more than four inches apart. This safety standard, often called the '4-inch sphere rule,' is designed to prevent small children or pets from slipping through the railing. A good way to visualize this is that a 4-inch sphere should not be able to pass between two spindles. For the same safety reason, the space between the bottom rail and the deck floor should also be no more than four inches. As a general guideline, professionals often install three balusters per foot of railing. However, since specific requirements can vary by location, it is crucial to check your local building codes to ensure compliance before starting your project.

It’s important to make sure the wood on a new deck is properly seasoned. Seasoning a deck is simple: Once you build it (or have a pro do so), just leave it alone so it can acclimate to the environment. If you don’t give the deck proper seasoning time before staining, the stain can lock in any lingering moisture and cause mold, rot, and other moisture issues down the road. Give the wood at least four to eight weeks to season before you stain.

Pressure-treated wood contains preservatives that give the material internal protection from rot and pests. Untreated lumber won’t last more than a few years unless you choose a more expensive wood, like cedar, that naturally stands up well to moisture. Composite decking can outlast wood but is more expensive and doesn’t look as natural. Keep in mind that you’ll need to seal any exterior wood product to protect it from the elements and other forms of external damage.

Rotting wood, loose railings, or unstable stairs may indicate a need for expertise.
