"I hired pure power wash to clean up my place. They took care of my solar on my roof, my driveway, and the concrete on the sides of my house and my backyard. Very professional service!"

From start to finish, they did an excellent job.  My husband's comment was:  "I've never seen such a great job".

I told Rick we had a lot of stuff to move before they could start, he told me not to worry about it, they would move everything.  When they were finished, not only did they clean up their mess, they put all the patio furniture back.  The crew that came to our house were extremely nice and hard working.

We have another house that will need paint next year and I will be calling Rick to do the job.  I just can't say enough about this company.

"It has gone very well. Creig's workmanship has been of consistently high quality. I have called upon him to help us numerous times, both to get a house ready for sale and to get our new house ready for us. Although young, he is professional in his demeanor and his approach to work. He has always been willing to work long hours to complete his work. His skills range over a broad area of handyman services, and I believe that has saved us money in that I haven't had to bring in specialty people (painters, furniture repairmen, locksmiths,etc.) to assist in small jobs. I recommend him highly."

"It was good. They kept rescheduling and rescheduling and then the rain came in. They couldn't work and they rescheduled again. I just had to buy my own paint. They were good. I would let them know that they do good at what they do but they will reschedule several times before they get the work done. I would use them but I would have to be patient."

"Nice job. Genuine pricing and quality work. Was bit sceptical initially of using Angi. But once the vendor 'Elite Cleaning' got finalized it was smooth from beginning to end. Robert ( Rob) owner of Elite cleaning is seasoned professional. He guides his clients and is very fair and transparent. Crew / team of Elite is also interesting, not in rush to wrap things. They enjoy doing their stuff and are considerate of fine things. Overall 5 star and my best wishes to them."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

A wood deck requires annual cleaning and regular inspections for loose or broken boards, nails, and screws. It should be refinished by applying a stain or sealer every two to three years to protect the wood from water damage, rot, mildew, and sun fading. The exact frequency can depend on the climate and the deck's exposure to sun and moisture. If your deck is painted, it will need repainting approximately every 10 years. Signs that your deck needs refinishing include faded, splintering, or warping boards.

Pressure-treated decking may be worth it if you want a natural, insect- and rot-resistant decking material that will last for decades with proper maintenance. As such, it’s a much better option than untreated pine. Alternative wood decking materials like cedar and redwood tend to be less durable and more expensive. Some homeowners prefer composite decking, which is a low-maintenance alternative to wood but is also more costly.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

Some elevated decks require stairs that lead to the ground level per the local fire codes in some municipalities. In other regions, a staircase is an optional feature that can increase accessibility and convenience for homeowners who want ground-level access to their deck. Additionally, a staircase is necessary if your home doesn't have an existing door leading to the deck.

Yes, but ensuring the deck has a solid foundation with adequate footings is critical before building, as the weight of a sunroom will put significant pressure on the structure below. Even if your deck is properly constructed, it may not be able to handle the extra weight. While some basic, lightweight, prefabricated sunrooms can sit on a deck with a strong existing foundation without additional supports, in many cases, the foundation and joists will need reinforcement. It is always best to have a structural engineer perform an inspection to evaluate the deck's quality and structural integrity. A professional can help you decide if reinforcement is sufficient or if it's better to tear down the deck and start over.
