"I cannot say enough about Andre and Wood Stain Specialists. The stairs in our home going up to the bedroom were in really bad shape because of a DIY job gone bad. Andre came in and sanded down the stairs which took from 9 a.m. until 7 p.m. the first day. The next 3 days were spent staining, painting the risers and applying 3 clear coats. The finished product was amazingly beautiful and Andre is such a perfectionist he wasn't satisfied until it was perfect. They also made sure everything in the home was covered to prevent dust from getting on furniture, etc. and constantly vacuumed and cleaned everything as they worked. I also want to mention how polite and friendly Andre is. I feel like I made a friend and I will recommend him to anyone who needs this type of work. You will not be disappointed."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Because adding a deck will yield a higher property value, you may have higher insurance costs. It’s important to follow the codes and regulations set by your local and state governments, so your insurance rates can be properly calculated. You may need an insurance revaluation after your deck is completed. The best course of action is to speak with an insurance professional to understand how adding a deck will impact your home’s insurance costs before you begin.

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

Yes, it is possible to add an under-deck drainage system to an existing deck by retrofitting it to the structure. This process may require some prep work. For example, many drainage systems are installed on top of the deck joists, which would require you to remove the decking boards and railings first. To avoid this, you could opt for a below-the-joist drainage system. For best results and to ensure proper installation, it is recommended to consult a professional. A pro can inspect your deck, make any necessary repairs, and then install the drainage system correctly.

Building a deck isn't too hard if you’re handy with carpentry, have the necessary tools, and are willing to put effort into it. However, other factors, such as plans, permits, and design, can be hard if you don’t have experience in those areas.

Note: You’ll need another person to help you build the deck (especially for framing and setting the beams). Building a deck yourself will be very difficult if you don’t have an extra set of hands to help.

Always sand a deck before repainting so the wood is smooth and ready for paint. While you do not need to fully remove paint before repainting, sanding helps remove any areas with weather and sun damage. Sanding also helps remove chipped or flaking paint and opens the wood pores to improve paint adhesion.
