"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

Deck pier blocks are one alternative to traditional deck footings. Unlike poured concrete and buried post footings, deck blocks don’t require digging or pouring. They’re best for small or low-to-the-ground decks. Keep in mind, though, that not all areas allow the use of deck pier blocks, so consult your local building codes before choosing them for your deck.

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.

Although composite decking is extremely durable, it’s also susceptible to extreme heat. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause fading, warping, and cracking. Composite also retains heat more than wood, which makes it dangerous to walk on in the summer. You can help prevent heat damage by only building with composite in shaded areas or using rugs to cover the hottest spots.

The cost to install a porch column typically runs between $300 and $600, although it can range as low as $300 or as high as $2,500. Most homeowners will pay about $400 for a porch column. The materials you choose and whether the column is ornamental or load-bearing will impact the final cost.

By correcting grading issues and ensuring water is directed away, preventing future damage.
