"Nice job. Genuine pricing and quality work. Was bit sceptical initially of using Angi. But once the vendor 'Elite Cleaning' got finalized it was smooth from beginning to end. Robert ( Rob) owner of Elite cleaning is seasoned professional. He guides his clients and is very fair and transparent. Crew / team of Elite is also interesting, not in rush to wrap things. They enjoy doing their stuff and are considerate of fine things. Overall 5 star and my best wishes to them."

"Angie's List provided four businesses related to our inquiry. We submitted inquiries to all four companies. Two never responded, one responded with an email that goes out to all inquiries and that was the last we heard from that company. All three had high ratings per the Angie's List site. Natural Landscaping was the only company that responded, with a call within an hour of our inquiry. Natural Landscaping was the perfect choice for our needs. Misael is professional, prompt, courteous and his recommendations are based on a keen eye and natural talent for landscaping. Misael listened to what we were requesting to have done then walked us through the work, offering suggestions and alternatives based on sound judgement. The results are ideal. We're extremely pleased with Misael's work and will be using Natural Landscaping to redo the back yard now and maintain both the front and back yards."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Yes, but ensuring the deck has a solid foundation with adequate footings is critical before building, as the weight of a sunroom will put significant pressure on the structure below. Even if your deck is properly constructed, it may not be able to handle the extra weight. While some basic, lightweight, prefabricated sunrooms can sit on a deck with a strong existing foundation without additional supports, in many cases, the foundation and joists will need reinforcement. It is always best to have a structural engineer perform an inspection to evaluate the deck's quality and structural integrity. A professional can help you decide if reinforcement is sufficient or if it's better to tear down the deck and start over.

Floating decks are a cost-effective and versatile option, but they come with some compromises. Since they sit on smaller footings instead of being deeply anchored, they’re more likely to shift over time, especially in areas with heavy rainfall or freeze-thaw conditions. Their low-to-the-ground design makes them more susceptible to moisture buildup and potential water damage.

It is recommended to clean your deck once or twice a year to prevent the accumulation of dirt, debris, mold, and mildew. The ideal times for cleaning are in the spring and fall. A spring cleaning removes grime that has built up over the winter, preparing your deck for summer use. A fall cleaning washes away messes from summer activities, preventing them from setting into the wood over the winter. The exact frequency can depend on factors such as how often the deck is used, its exposure to pollen, and whether salt was used on it during the winter. Regular cleaning helps protect the wood and its finish from damage.

Applying too much sealer to a deck might seem like extra protection, but it can cause more harm than good. Wood is a porous material with a limited capacity to absorb liquids. When you go overboard with sealer, the excess can't soak in and instead forms a film on the surface. This leftover layer is prone to peeling, cracking, and trapping moisture, ultimately defeating the purpose of sealing in the first place. 

In general, you need a footing at each corner of your deck, and within 8 feet of each other. So, how many you need depends on the size and shape of your deck, plus any local building codes. It also depends on factors like the load capacity of your soil and the weight of your deck. You can find a footing calculator online or contact a pro for support.
