"TL:DR Jacob, the owner, did an outstanding job, is extremely professional, prompt, sends before/after photos to show the difference, does extra work for free, and is a super nice guy. I needed someone to pressure wash the exterior of my mom's house in preparation to put it on the market. I submitted a request for bids on Angie's List. Jacob was the first one who responded, and it was within an hour. He was very friendly and professional over the phone and told me that he's the owner of the company and the only one who will do the work. Most importantly, it was on a Tuesday and I needed the job done that Saturday in order to line up with the other contractors I had coming. Jacob said it was no problem. Jacob charges by square footage and had already looked up the size of my mom's house and prepared a quote for me prior to the call: $675 for a 4,140 Sq ft home. It sounded good to me, so we agreed on a 9:00am start time. That Saturday, Jacob arrived right at 9:00am. We did a walk of the exterior and he described the work he would do. I had mentioned on the phone call that I might like for him to also pressure was the pavers that comprise the walkways and large front and back patios of the house. He said he thought he could get it all done that day, but might have to come back Monday, which was fine with me. With that, he set off to work, and I went about doing the five million other things I had to do to get the house ready for sale. Jacob got the whole job done by 4:00 on Saturday. I was thrilled with the results! We walked the exterior and he pointed out notable spots, including three sections that he hand washed because he noticed the stucco was loose and he didn't want to risk more damage by pressure washing it. It looked like a brand new house! This was especially clear when Jacob sent the before and after pictures. And, not only had Jacob done all the contracted work, he even pulled the all the weeds that had come up between the cracks of the pavers and he pressure washed the rocks of my parent's decorative pond (which was unfilled). He told me afterwards that he always looks for something extra to do for his clients. When it came time to review the bill, Jacob said the house charge was a little higher than the estimate ($800 vs. $675) because of the handwashing. My parents also had years of bird poop built up from birds nesting in the house, which he took extra time to fully clean. It was work that needed to be done, so I was thrilled he did it, rather than doing a subpar job in order to come in at his estimate. He also charged $600 for the work on the pavers, which was a very fair price. With this home sale, I only wanted to have work done that was going to give me a positive return on investment, ie the cost of the work would be less than the increased value of the sale price. With curb appeal being one of the most important factors in home sales, I'm certain that the $1,400 spent will give my mom at least a two or threefold return on investment! Thank you, Jacob! I'd highly recommend him to anyone looking for an outstanding quality pressure wash."

"We recently had Mega Power Electric Inc install a solar system and panels. The President and provided excellent communication all the way through the process. He even met with us after installation to explain the almost incomprehensible PG&E bill. Although not the least expensive bid, his was competitive and I felt he was as interested in educating me about solar and the various types of panels and inverter systems as he was in selling a system. He demonstrated how the array of panels would meet our energy needs and as opposed to some of the other companies, wasn't selling us more than we needed. We are very satisfied with our solar system and I highly recommended Mega Power Electric Inc."

"I bought the Big Deal which was just for a single top coat to reseal the deck surface.  However, my deck was in a little bit worse shape than the deal allowed.  However, Ryan was awesome and added in sanding and then did the reseal for no additional charge.  The surface is not perfect but that is due to the rough pre-condition it was in and not his fault.  Shortly after the reseal the deck drains started leaking in to the garage below.  Ryan and crew came out again to fix the drain at no additional cost.  Again, this was not in the deal I bought but they provide such great customer service.  I would definitely use them again and will recommend them to friends and neighbors!

"I live in a severe wind area, it is common for fences & gates to blow down in my neighborhood. When I hired Robert I needed both gates replaced. I explained the weather situation, & he over engineered both on paper. He showed up the next day with all necessary materials, & was done in a couple hours for a very reasonable price compared to the major fencing companies in town. I believe his work will be the last thing standing in my neighborhood."

"I dealt mostly with foreman Ryan Fisher to build a new redwood fence and gate in my backyard. The crew worked hard and fast. When Randy Aldred stopped by to look things over, he had a suggestion on the gate and had them re-work it, without any prodding from me or my wife. These guys built a good fence, were professional, and we are very pleased."

"I am very satisfied with Eugene’s work on a kitchen and bedroom renovation project in Tahoe City. Throughout the project he was a great communicator. He was responsive and he met his timeline and commitments. The quality of the work did not disappoint. It’s incredibly rare to find a contractor that finishes work on time, and on target, but Eugene is that person. I recommend Eugene without reservation."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Before installing any materials under the deck for removing moisture, you should perform some prep work on the ground. Work the dirt under the deck to create a grade away from the home. A grade of at least six inches for every 10 feet works well. Do not leave a gap between the dirt and the home’s foundation where water could pool. Once you or a contractor regrades the dirt under the deck, you then can add materials over the top.

In many areas, a floating deck that isn’t connected to your home and stays under 200 square feet and below 30 inches in height may not need a permit. These freestanding structures are often considered low-risk, which can simplify the building process. However, building codes vary greatly based on location. Before investing in any home improvement project, check with your local permitting office for deck-building guidelines.

Composite decking requires a solid foundation or substructure for support. This base is typically a frame composed of posts, beams, joists, and footings. The frame can be built from various materials, such as composite, plastic, timber, or metal, depending on your budget, deck type, and environmental conditions. For maximum stability, a professional deck builder may recommend installing this frame on top of a solid concrete base. It is best to discuss the most suitable substructure design and materials for your specific project with a professional.

The best direction for a gate to swing depends on its location and purpose, but swinging inward is the general rule. An inward swing is often considered safer, prevents the gate from opening into public spaces like a sidewalk, and may be required by local building codes.

There are exceptions and specific considerations. If your property is on a slope, an inward swing might not be possible. For a deck gate, it's safest to have it swing away from any steps. In a backyard, the direction can be a matter of preference, though an inward swing can be helpful when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

Regardless of direction, ensure the gate can open fully without hitting any objects or blocking spaces. While an inward swing is standard, a gate that can swing both in and out offers the most flexibility if your setup allows for it.

Cutting the boards directly is one of the fastest ways to remove deck boards with hidden fasteners. Mark two parallel lines that are one-third of the total measurement on both ends and cut out the centerpiece. Then, remove the end of the board that doesn’t have a fastener. Finally, pry open the fastened side and pull it up to pop out the screw or access the fastener. This also allows you to salvage portions of boards for other projects.
