"Brushworks did a wonderful job painting the exterior of my house and staining the pergola. Top notch communication, very professional painters, did a great job. The house looks gorgeous! They touched up additional areas as needed and removed an old direct TV dish. Overall, very pleased with my experience."

"It was a pleasure to work with the owner of this company who gave us quality work for a very fair price. The work crew was all professional, respectful, friendly, and they kept our property clean and picked up during the work process. They painted both my deck and some of my interior walls (matched to the other paint on my walls perfectly!) I highly recommend Paneless Painting Company for any interior or exterior work needed. A-1 crew."

"Brent and Ron showed up the morning (Monday) they promised and started the preparation work.  Unfortunately, I forgot to move a number of items (doll house, furniture, odds and ends) from the side of the house, but they went ahead and moved everything without saying a word.  During the next 10 days they didn't ask for anything, except for some ice water in the afternoons.  After each days work,  they cleaned up and placed all of their materials out of the way.  They worked until approximately 4pm on the final day (Friday), and then Brent asked me to come out to make sure I was satisfied with their work.  I was more than satisfied,  and told him so."

"Brian is an exquisitely talented craftsman with an eye to creativity and detail. He suggested great improvements that I hadn't thought of and am so happy with. He did several projects including building an outdoor storage shed that is charming and perfectly situated on the space available, redid the outside patio with stone and completed several outside staircases and a deck that is simply a work of art. It is maintenance free and stunning. Inside my home he installed a dual sided fireplace, helped me pick out the perfect paint and flooring for the entire house, finished off an open room to be made into an office and installed doors and windows. My bathroom cabinets were refinished and the master bathroom shower was completely redone in a beautiful manner. He completed this large project while dealing with an active household and two large dogs. Brian is organized, personable and easy to work with. The only surprises were good ones and he made my dream home a reality."

"Work was very well done and attention to detail was high. Care was taken to repair deck, strip, sand and stain. The stain selection was well done and the deck (front, side and back) looks amazing."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Most building codes require that spindles or balusters on deck and stair railings be spaced no more than four inches apart. This safety standard, often called the '4-inch sphere rule,' is designed to prevent small children or pets from slipping through the railing. A good way to visualize this is that a 4-inch sphere should not be able to pass between two spindles. For the same safety reason, the space between the bottom rail and the deck floor should also be no more than four inches. As a general guideline, professionals often install three balusters per foot of railing. However, since specific requirements can vary by location, it is crucial to check your local building codes to ensure compliance before starting your project.

Before installing a deck, you must build a base for the deck to rest upon, often made of compacted soil or gravel. While gravel is an optional material, it helps with drainage. Some contractors also recommend installing a weed control membrane, which helps provide a solid foundation for the frame. In the case of an elevated deck, a pro will often lay down a concrete slab as a foundation. 

No, termites do not eat Trex or any other composite decking brand. Termites eat cellulose, of which composite decking like Trex contains very little compared to natural wood. This feature can help justify the higher Trex decking costs if you live in an area with abundant termites.

There are ways to clean your deck to help maintain a clean appearance. You can easily remove surface-level dirt and grime by wetting your deck with a hose and doing a quick scrub with store-bought deck cleaner monthly. 

However, investing in professional deck cleaning services near you at least twice a year is worth it. This service saves you time and ensures that your deck will avoid accidentally becoming scratched by blasting the pressure washer at the wrong angle.

The life expectancy of deck boards varies widely based on the material, climate, and maintenance. Untreated wood boards typically last 10 to 30 years with proper care, while pressure-treated boards can last up to 50 years. Hardwoods generally outlast softwoods. Composite boards also tend to last longer than natural wood. Environmental factors like arid or humid climates can shorten a deck's lifespan. To extend the life of wood decking, it's important to consistently clean and seal it to protect against moisture, UV light, and insects.
