"I had an outdoor playground set. Adrian was professional and hard-working. Great communication and he brought all the required tools and equipment. He showed up first thing in the morning on a short notice and it was all done before the end of the day. The assembly looks great and I know the kids will love it!"

"Very easy to work with. I'd used them before but this time I got estimates from other contractors and was amazed how much more reasonable Cal Preserving was. The difference may be that the others pointed to additional steps that could be taken. Did Cal Preserving "miss" these things or recognize they weren't necessary--I'm inclined to believe the latter."

"Needed to get about 150 feet of railing prepped and painted, as well as 6 pieces of outdoor wicker furniture. Platinum Painting did a very good job and promptly arrived each morning first thing. Excellent clean up each day. Very satisfied."

"This team did a top-notch job refinishing our decks. They were highly professional, excellent communicators, knowledgeable, and reliable. They showed up on time, communicated with us well, took care to protect our finishings, and the decks now look terrific. Everything one could hope for in a contractor. We have referred them to family members and will be repeat customers ourselves."

"SurfaceRenu did a very good job on our windows.  There was no damage to the outdoor landscape or indoor furniture which surrounded the windows.  The company was patient in scheduling our appointment as we wanted to wait for our neighbor to complete the outdoor renovation of their pool which caused quite a bit of dust.  The windows are clean with no streaks and the sills were cleaned as well.  The company used very little water which was a concern we had due to the California drought.

"DJ's recommended a color scheme and painted the exterior of our house. They weren't the lowest or highest quote, but they did an excellent job, went out of their way to please, great/friendly/nice crew and I would highly recommend them. They also spent a lot of time on the prep work on a 30 year old stucco house."

Deck Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Staining and sealing the underside of a deck creates a moisture barrier but traps water in the boards, quickly leading to rot. No matter how well you seal the above deck, water still gets through via nails and screw heads on the surface. Allow this water to flow naturally under the deck, where it is routed through the drainage system.

Your deck may pop, and your neighbor’s deck may not for a number of reasons. Whether or not a deck pops will depend on how it was made, the conditions it’s exposed to, and the materials. Improper spacing is a common reason for increased pressure between deck boards. Moisture penetration is another.

As with patios, there are many types of deck choices to choose from to add personalization to your home. Some common deck options include:

  • Attached decks are anchored to the home and include simple ground-level options or multi-level structures with stairways and separate landings. 

  • Detached island decks are not attached to the home; they’re a freestanding structure in the yard. 

  • Wraparound decks connect the back of the house with at least one other side and often are built with railings for safety. 

  • Multi-level decks connect your deck through varying levels of elevation, featuring landings that are attached to stairs.

While you can use various materials like sand or even just soil, gravel is widely considered the best option to put under a deck. It provides excellent drainage and is resistant to water, fire, and pests. Gravel also helps anchor the soil to prevent erosion during heavy rain and acts as a built-in weed blocker, reducing regular upkeep. Furthermore, it is simple to spread, available in various textures and tones, and adds a polished look that complements any deck design.

Ideally, a gate should be able to swing both in and out. However, if it can only open in one direction, it is generally best for it to swing inward. This is often the safest option, especially for deck gates near steps, as you'll want the gate to swing away from the stairs. An inward swing also prevents the gate from opening into a public space, like a sidewalk, and can be more convenient when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

There are exceptions, however. The layout of your property may require a different approach. For example, if your property is on a slope, the gate may not be able to swing inward. You should also ensure the gate can open fully without colliding with any objects or blocking access to other areas. For a backyard garden gate where public access isn't a concern, the direction it swings is largely a matter of personal preference. Finally, always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements for which way a gate must swing.
