"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 was so fortunate to have found Jesus Pantoja Landscaping to complete a project in my backyard. We started with uneven dirt and non blooming trees and finished with a paved courtyard and I couldn’t be happier with the finished product. Jesus Pantoja Landscaping is a family operation and they are terrific people with great work ethic he and his team were punctual, professional and are a joy to work with. I would highly recommend them for design, install, and maintenance to those who are particular and want outstanding service."

"I hired Jeff to replace our old leaking patio roof that had plastic type of sheeting as the material. Instead of going with the same material he suggested that we use metal sheeting because of the durability and longevity. It also looked a lot nicer. He noticed some of the wood frame was rotting away and suggested we replaced that as well since everything will be torn apart. He is very knowledgeable and friendly. He completed the work in a very timely manner as well as showed up on time. He was also able to complete the job under budget even with using better quality materials. It has been a few years and the roof still looks amazing as well does not leak, even with the extensive rain we have had this past winter. I would definitely recommend him!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Yes, it is generally safe to have a fire pit on a deck, but you must adhere to building codes and take several safety precautions. For both built-in and freestanding models, you must use a heat-resistant barrier, such as a fire pit pad or heat shield, between the pit and the deck. Additionally, consider the weight of the fire pit and ensure your deck can structurally support it, reinforcing it if necessary. The fire pit must also be positioned a safe distance from your house, particularly from materials like vinyl siding, to prevent heat damage.

Yes, Ipe wood is a popular high-end choice for pool decking. It repels water and is naturally slip-resistant. It's not susceptible to mold, mildew, or rot, either, so it lasts longer and is cleaner and more hygienic than other popular decking materials. However, remember that due to its status, it is a very high-cost wood, and you might find that an alternative would serve you just as well for significantly less.

Although composite decking is extremely durable, it’s also susceptible to extreme heat. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause fading, warping, and cracking. Composite also retains heat more than wood, which makes it dangerous to walk on in the summer. You can help prevent heat damage by only building with composite in shaded areas or using rugs to cover the hottest spots.

Pressure-treated decks last 15 to 20 years on average, but with proper maintenance, you could get 40 to 50 years of value from yours. Reseal your deck every one to two years, and replace old or rotted wood as soon as possible to avoid structural damage. Where you live plays a role in the lifespan of your deck. Intense sunlight, rainfall, wind, and hail can reduce the deck’s lifespan.

The cost to repair a deck is between $900 and $3,500, depending on the cause and extent of the damage. For example, fixing a sinking deck caused by pest damage can cost between $200 and $600, while replacing sinking boards costs between $500 and $4,000.
