"Starlight sent two dependable employees, who were diligent about getting our deck and fence power washed the first day. They returned the next day to spray (fence) and brush (deck) with the stain. Both were conscientious about their work, careful to protect our property and cleaned up after the job was completed. I would not hesitate to recommend Starlight Restoration!"

Customers say: Terrific value

"I found Dwight and was very happy to have done so.. Hired him for multiple projects on a rental house, and also to fix up that house for eventual sale. He's extremely capable; has very good solutions (even ones I never even considered!); he's honest; he's hard working; he's very reasonable in price; and he desires always to do quality work. If only EVERY contractor or handyman could be like Dwight! Because of all of his well deserved 5 stars in Home Advisor, he does get a little busy at times (of course!). But, for me, he'd go the extra mile above and way beyond my expectations to get work squeezed into his schedule and even came over late several nights to get work done I had to have done within my time schedule. If I could, I'd give him 6 stars. All well earned!"

"I recently had the pleasure of hiring Valenzuela Fence to build a fence around my property, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From start to finish, their attention to detail was impeccable. Not only did they work with remarkable speed, but the quality of their workmanship truly exceeded my expectations. Every component of the fence was constructed with the utmost care, using materials that clearly prioritize durability and longevity. What impressed me the most was how perfectly square and beautifully crafted the fence turned out. It's evident that they take great pride in their work, as every inch of the fence reflects a commitment to excellence. Moreover, the team was incredibly professional throughout the entire process. They were respectful of my property and addressed any concerns I had with patience and understanding. Without hesitation, I would hire Valenzuela Fence again for any future projects, and I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone in need of a reliable and skilled fencing contractor. Their work speaks for itself, and I am beyond satisfied with the results."

"Juan and his team are amazing. Juan is very knowledgeable, and was always quick to respond to our questions. He and everyone that worked on our project was extremely kind and respectful of our home. They demoed our old deck and put in a new patio, we couldn’t be happier with the way the process has gone. Highly recommend Bernal Concrete!!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

The best and fastest way to remove paint from a deck often involves combining a chemical stripper with a pressure washer. Gel-based paint strippers are highly recommended because their thick consistency makes them less messy and easier to apply than liquid strippers. After applying the stripper to loosen the paint, you can use a pressure washer to efficiently wash away the residue. When using a pressure washer for this task, it's important to use a low pressure (under 1000 PSI) to avoid forcing too much moisture into the wood, which could lead to mildew or rot.

Composite decking might cost more upfront, but it delivers value in terms of durability. Unlike wood, composite material resists common deck problems such as rotting, fading, warping, and all the other things you don’t want a deck to do. The extra processes lead to a higher price tag, but you’ll save big in maintenance costs down the road.

An above-ground pool with a deck can increase your home's value by as much as 4% to 7%, but it depends on your local climate, potential buyers, and the size and condition of your pool. Some buyers see a pool as a liability instead of a luxury, especially if it's at the end of its life span. In general, it's best to add a pool and deck to your property if it will bring you enjoyment—not because it raises the value of your home.

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.

There are more pros than cons when staining a deck. Deck stain is more affordable than paint, it protects the wood and allows the natural textures to shine through, and it can revive the appearance of your home. However, deck stain also requires prep work (sometimes days or more), carries more upkeep than a painted deck, and can fade over time if not cared for.
