"Very friendly and professional! We had a leaking shower which was pinpointed to where the tile wall meets the shower door. We decided to call for help when the leak was bad enough that it leaked water into our carpeted closet. It was difficult for us by ourselves to locate the leak and be certain it wasn't all over in the wall behind the tile in our shower. He reassured us that the issue was not very serious and would not take drastic measures such as removal and replacement of all the tile and/or drywall behind it (which with our limited knowledge we thought may be necessary). He offered to deep clean all of our grout (in the whole bathroom in which both the floor and many walls are tile) with a pressure washer, seal it, and then put down some heavy duty caulk for the seal in our shower all for $432. The bathroom is probably average size for one that contains a separate shower and tub, and his and her sinks. Not sure what the going rate for that is...so for all I know that's probably a reasonable price for all of those services. He said it would seem like a lot, but that it was actually a pretty good price for what he was offering to do. However, another contractor came out and looked at our issue and pointed out that we could probably get by with fixing it ourselves and didn't think our issue was very serious. If we try and it doesn't work then Tile and Grout cleaning will be on our short list of who to call. We were initially in a panicked state as we are young, not very familiar with home maintenance, and did not want to ruin our first house. I appreciate both Tile and Grout's honesty along with our other contractors in that none saw us in the state we were in and decided we would be great people to take advantage of and do a large, expensive, and unnecessary project to fix our problem. However, after having a few people look at our issue they've all reassured us that it is not that serious and that there still may be measures we can take ourselves!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

To maximize the utility of space under a deck, it’s important to keep this area dry and clean. One way to prevent the area from becoming too wet is to install an under-deck draining system. This affordable home upgrade channels water away from the deck and provides usable space for storage or a functional area below a second-story deck. Not only will this be a useful maintenance upgrade, it can boost your home’s property value.

Decks are generally more expensive to build because they require elevating and railings. The difference between decks and patios is that decks are elevated, while patios are usually on the ground level. Plus, decks are usually made of wood and need more maintenance than most patios. However, decks and patios serve the same purpose, providing outdoor space for you to enjoy.

The proper and most comfortable height for a deck stair riser, also called a step, is between four and seven inches. A height of seven inches is often considered ideal for a strain-free step that minimizes the risk of trips and falls. While it is possible to have risers up to 12 inches, this height can be challenging for children, pets, or individuals with mobility issues. For optimal safety and comfort, pair a seven-inch riser with a tread depth (or run) of at least 10 to 12 inches. Always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements that differ from these general recommendations.

You can use a few different tactics to prevent your deck gate from sagging. Aside from using strong, rot-resistant woods, introducing a diagonal element—such as a tension rod or solid piece of wood to act as a brace—across the gate will offer better support. You can also use rigid joists to prevent the gate from sagging.
