"Jake is a true professional and you will not be disappointed if you hire him for your project. He is honest, reliable, trustworthy and meticulous in his work. I was getting frustrated trying to find a contractor or deck company that would repair/replace my deteriorating deck. People would not return my calls or show up when we had agreed on an appointment time. When I called Jake he patiently walked me through the things that would be important to consider when embarking on the deck project. This was critical because I live on a canyon and the deck is suspended in the air, so it is more complicated than a deck that is at ground level. Jake came over to look at the deck and spent the necessary time to figure out what was really involved, including replacing some joists and beams that could not be saved. So instead of taking a quick look at the top of the deck, giving me a superficial quote and then adding costs on to it later, Jake was thorough about the scope of the project from the very beginning. In addition, he excelled at communicating regularly about work schedules, various options for the project and cost. Jake understands that cost is very important (sometimes most important) to homeowners and he acts accordingly. Jake was also straightforward about his availability explaining that he would not be able to start for a few months due to prior commitments. He even told me that I might want to consider another contractor or deck company if I wanted to get started sooner. That told me that Jake was more interested in my satisfaction than ensuring he ultimately got the job. However, at that point I was convinced that he was the best option and for me it was more important to have the right person for the job than to begin work immediately. I'm very happy that I did wait, because the deck is finished now, it is beautiful and just what I wanted. Finally, Jake takes real pride in his work and he will treat your project like he is working on his own home. That's probably the highest compliment I can pay him. I have other projects outstanding and have already asked Jake to provide bids for those."

Deck Repair questions, answered by experts

Yes, pressure washing a wood deck can be a good idea as it effectively lifts ingrained dirt, mold, and mildew, improving the deck's appearance and longevity. However, it must be done carefully, as it's easy to damage the wood, especially softwoods. To pressure wash safely, use a lower pressure setting and a wide, 40-degree fan pattern nozzle (often white). Keep the nozzle at least a foot away from the wood surface and maintain constant motion, avoiding hovering in one spot to prevent gouging.

The best and fastest way to remove paint from a deck often involves combining a chemical stripper with a pressure washer. Gel-based paint strippers are highly recommended because their thick consistency makes them less messy and easier to apply than liquid strippers. After applying the stripper to loosen the paint, you can use a pressure washer to efficiently wash away the residue. When using a pressure washer for this task, it's important to use a low pressure (under 1000 PSI) to avoid forcing too much moisture into the wood, which could lead to mildew or rot.

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.

Liquid rubber is great for waterproofing, but it can damage your deck if it’s not applied correctly. First, it can trap moisture in the wood if the deck isn’t completely dry before application.  Second, applying it too thickly can create a heavy, rubbery surface layer that peels and cracks under fluctuating temperatures. For the best results, ensure the wood is completely dry before application, and apply the liquid rubber in thin, even coats. A quick inspection every now and then will help you catch any issues early, keeping your deck protected and looking its best.

Composite decking requires a solid foundation, substructure, or subframe to ensure stability. This base is typically composed of posts, beams, joists, and footings. The frame's joists can be built from various materials like composite, plastic, timber, or metal, as long as the base can support the deck's weight without shifting. A professional deck builder might recommend installing the frame on a solid concrete base for added durability. The final design and materials for the substructure will depend on your budget, the type of deck, and environmental conditions.
