Licensed and insured veteran owned business providing professional pressure and soft wash services. Driveways, decks, fencing, housing and more. PWNA certified Environmental Specialist.

"The soft wash preformed by Lori and Richard made my house look very good. I actually saved money by invoking Ninja Clean because I thought my house needed painting, but after the wash, I realized it didn't need painting after all, except for some soffit areas water had caused minor wood deterioration. They did all I expected plus more. They seemed to really care about my house, which was refreshing these days, it seems. They provided tips for additional things that I could do, but not in a way that they were trying to get additional work. Nice job, Ninja Clean!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

PVC decking can get slippery when wet because it’s made from plastic. However, composite and wood decking can also be slippery when wet. It’s best to wear shoes with grippy soles when walking on a wet deck, no matter the material, and to be extra cautious not to slip and fall down.

Building codes vary by location, and you should always consult local codes before planning construction. Generally speaking, however, railing requirements stipulate that decks more than 30 inches off the ground need railings for safety purposes. These railings usually need to be at least 36 inches tall, although California and Washington require rails to be 42 inches or taller.

While building your deck, you might come across something called the four-inch sphere rule. Essentially, this railing requirement for a deck states that a four-inch ball should not be able to fit through any gap in the deck railings. The gap between spindles and between the decking and the bottom of the railing must be less than four inches to prevent small children or pets from squeezing through the gap.

When installing deck boards, screws are a better option than nails. For one, screws have more holding strength than nails, so they’re better at keeping your deck boards in place. Also, nails are more likely to pop out of the boards than screws, which can create a tripping or poking hazard on your deck.

If you notice standing water under the deck after rainstorms, you may need a drainage system to efficiently move this water. You do not want standing water to rest against your foundation or against support posts for the deck, as this could cause significant structural problems over time. Make sure the area has proper grading, too.
