"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

Homeowners should build their floating decks at least 18 inches off the ground. Having it at this height will allow for better airflow underneath and help prevent moisture-related problems like warping or rot. That being said, local guidelines for deck heights may vary depending on where you live.

There are a variety of second-story deck privacy ideas depending on your budget and aesthetic. For starters, you might consider fencing or tall privacy railing that masks a good portion of the open deck. A pergola or an awning can provide additional cover and shade. Outdoor curtains are an easy way to add or remove privacy at your convenience, plus they’re a wallet-friendly way to decorate your deck.

Deck skirting shouldn’t touch the ground, especially if you have a wood deck, which is vulnerable to moisture. Ideally, you should leave at least 3/4 of an inch of space between the deck skirting and the ground for more ventilation. Pros also recommend that you incorporate about 1 square foot of space for ventilation for the underside of the deck to every 150 square feet of decking. Proper ventilation prevents mold growth and rot that can damage your deck.

Many composite decking manufacturers, including the popular Trex brand, offer warranties that protect against warping under specific conditions. These warranties typically last between 20 and 50 years, but they usually exclude claims related to improper installation of the product. Some manufacturer warranties only cover decks built by certified professionals.

Always sand a deck before repainting so the wood is smooth and ready for paint. While you do not need to fully remove paint before repainting, sanding helps remove any areas with weather and sun damage. Sanding also helps remove chipped or flaking paint and opens the wood pores to improve paint adhesion.
