"David and his assistant fixed 3 holes in a second story deck then applied a metal lath and troweled on a layer of deckcretethe first day. 2nd day applied a fiberglass mat and saturated with laminating resins. David then shot a layer of knockdown texture to the deck and finally applied a resin sealer finish coat over the deck. The deck need 24 hours drying and 3 day wait before placing items on the deck. The whole project went nicely and the new deck looks great and should need a sealing in 5 years."

"It started as a Deck repair, but when they found the wood was rotten and termite-infested, the entire deck had to be demolished and rebuilt. I am extremely pleased with the finished product. It is so much better than the original."

"There are always businesses that stand out from the rest, and that describes Foothill Painting very well. After seeing their excellent work on a neighbor's home, as well as other positive reviews on Angie's List we contacted them for a complete repainting of our house, including a detached three car garage and some interior walls and trim. From the very first meeting with Kevin, one of the co-owners, we knew we were in good hands. All their crew members are regular employees, not sub-contractors. One painter told us that he has been with Foothill for eleven years. The estimate was detailed and professional. They not only painted... They also did quite a bit of stucco and window glazing repair. The prep work was meticulous. What we appreciated the most was their attitude that they would do whatever it took to make sure we were satisfied. Too bad so many businesses don't understand the value of that! Also, they were very careful when moving things out of the way and the cleanup was great. We're sure that there are some other painters who would have submitted a lower bid but, as always, you really do get what you pay for. We feel that we chose the best, and they didn't break our bank."

"We are preparing for more rain than usual and purchased a coupon for Thomas Parks Contracting to clean and repair our gutters.  Upon inspecting the roof while he was doing the gutter work, Thomas told us it was in fairly good shape and just needs some maintenance.  He also recommended a sealer.  We contracted for the work and he came within a few days with a crew to perform the work. All the work was done with professionalism and an attention to detail.  They even repaired two of our gates into the back yard - above the call of duty.  I recommend them with no reservations."

"We had In-Line do the following projects for us:
  1. 1.Pour concrete on the left side of the house where there was previously just dirt and gravel

2. Break up concrete on the other side of the house, as well as breaking up concrete in front of the house to fix an old drainage problem from the previous owners. This resulted in a nice, seamless concrete layout from the front to the side of the house.
3. Build a short planter wall in the yard to help correct some weird gradient issues
4. Fix a cinderblock wall on the right side of the house that was poorly doen by the previous owners, basically rendering access to that side of the house useless?even though there was an existing gate there.
5. Fix a short wall between our neighbors house that became dislodged
6. Place ledgestone on the front of the house, as well as on top of a short cinderblock wall (the face of it). On that short wall, he also installed matching wall caps
Overall, the project went very well. There were a couple hiccups but that?s to be expected, as no remodeling/construction job ever goes exactly to plan. We enjoy working with Steve and his crew because they are professional, always on time, and leave the job site clean every day.
 
Look forward to our next project with him!

"Throughout the years, I have worked with many contractors, most of which disappointed in some shape or form. In contrast, Tom and Lucas were a complete pleasure to work with. They were always on time, always did what they said they would do (and more sometimes). Whenever I had questions they were always available and ready to help. They soon gained my trust and confidence that they could finish the job to my utmost satisfaction, which meant that I could actually relax and have fun during the process. And whenever I did have extra requests, they were always happy to make it work for me. I will definitely hire them again if I ever need more work done in my home."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Ultimately, overapplication of stain can compromise the deck's appearance, durability, and longevity. It may result in an uneven finish, with excess stain pooling, dripping, or drying into thick patches. It can also obscure the wood's natural grain and texture, detracting from the desired aesthetic. Moreover, excessive staining may not fully penetrate the wood, leading to poor adhesion and premature wear. Additionally, thick layers of stain are prone to peeling, cracking, and blistering as they struggle to bond with the surface. 

Composite decking boards aren't your only options for building a deck. There are several other types of materials for decks, including wood and aluminum decking. Wood decking comes in many different wood species, offering natural beauty and classy timelessness to your yard. Aluminum is a lightweight, water-resistant, and low-maintenance material that is also non-slip.

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.

Local building codes don’t specify the number of steps a deck can have before a railing is required, mainly because stair height varies widely. Most areas require decks 30 inches or higher to have a railing. While not exact, that roughly equates to four to seven steps.

Rotting wood, loose railings, or unstable stairs may indicate a need for expertise.
