"They meticulously sanded the deck, which was a lot of work.  This was done with a hand-held rotary sander-- we were really impressed.  They stained the deck two times to begin with.  Likely due to sun bleaching, there were some areas on the deck that were lighter than the rest.  I asked Dave to add some stain to those areas, and he was happy to do that.  In the end, they put much more stain on our deck than would normally go on a deck for staining, but our deck needed extra because it was in such bad shape.  For the patio cover, they painted the beams at least 2 times with the blue paint that they purchased and matched to our house trim.  They purchased the lattice, stained it, cut it, and attached it to the beams.  Everything looked beautiful!  We were very happy that we had decided to go with Dave's suggestion of painting the cross beams (and support beams) of the patio cover with blue paint-- it ended up looked very nice!  Like Dave had suggested, it really did make the patio tie-in with the color scheme of the house.  There was one very minor thing that I asked Dave to correct when I made the final payment (the lattice needed re-tacking in a couple places), and they came back later to fix that.  Overall, I was very happy with their work, and very impressed with their professionalism. They did have some scheduling challenges and as a result the work took longer than expected (approx. two weeks instead of one week), but this was not a big inconvenience for us."

"I am very satisfied with Eugene’s work on a kitchen and bedroom renovation project in Tahoe City. Throughout the project he was a great communicator. He was responsive and he met his timeline and commitments. The quality of the work did not disappoint. It’s incredibly rare to find a contractor that finishes work on time, and on target, but Eugene is that person. I recommend Eugene without reservation."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

In the majority of cases, you don’t need regulatory permission or permits to remove decking components and materials. However, the exception is if you live in or near a wildlife conservation area, which could require permits and consent prior to beginning the demolition. Check with a local regulatory agency for more information.

That depends on the condition of your deck. An older deck that looks drab, worn, or has multiple damaged boards might be worth replacing before selling. However, if your deck is in good condition, you can simply clean, repaint, or stain it.

Covering your deck with a breathable tarp can protect it from snow, ice, and cold winter temperatures. This is a good winterizing solution if you don’t plan to use your deck at all during the colder months. However, it might be best to skip the tarp if you’ll still be walking on your deck or using it in a limited capacity.

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. 

The proper height for a stair riser or deck step is between four and seven inches, with seven inches often considered the most comfortable. Building your stairs to this height ensures a strain-free step position and minimizes the risk of trip and fall injuries. For optimal safety and comfort, especially on deck stairs, a rise of around seven inches should be paired with a tread depth (or run) of at least 10 to 12 inches. While it is possible to design stairs with risers up to 12 inches, this height can be challenging for children, pets, or individuals with mobility issues. Always check with your local building codes, as they may mandate specific dimensions that differ from these general recommendations.
