"Carlos did a phenomenal job of landscaping at my home in Connecticut. A tree in my yard of immense sentimental value was dying, and he attentively nursed it to health. I now look forward to seeing it blossom every spring. Carlos paid an extreme level of attention to the work we needed done, and carried it out extremely efficiently. He was also especially friendly to my young children and two dogs. Would recommend to anyone in need of services."

"I contacted three different businesses for this job. Miguel from cleaning and maintenance LLC was the only one who actually came to my home. He walked the property and asked questions. He gave a quote and stuck to it. He emailed a confirmation of the quote. He did a fantastic job with the power washing of our home. I would definitely use cleaning and maintenance LLC in the future. Very impressed"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

When installing deck boards, screws are generally a better option than nails. Screws offer superior holding strength over time, keeping the boards securely in place. In contrast, nails are more likely to pop out, which can create a tripping hazard. While you can use either, we recommend using 3-inch galvanized deck screws. To minimize the risk of cracking the wood, it's a good practice to drill small pilot holes before driving the screws into the deck joists.

While eco-friendly decking, also called composite decking, is a win for the environment because it consists of recycled materials, it has trade-offs. These sustainable options often come with steeper price tags, lack natural wood's warm look, and can become uncomfortably hot under full sun. Some composite materials can also become slick when wet, posing a potential hazard.

Pressure-treated decks last 15 to 20 years on average, but with proper maintenance, you could get 40 to 50 years of value from yours. Reseal your deck every one to two years, and replace old or rotted wood as soon as possible to avoid structural damage. Where you live plays a role in the lifespan of your deck. Intense sunlight, rainfall, wind, and hail can reduce the deck’s lifespan.

A random orbital sander is best for sanding a deck because it is easier to handle than other power sanders and is less likely to damage the wood. Most decks are made of types of softwood, so a gentler sanding process is essential to prevent permanent blemishes. For example, belt sanders can gouge softwoods.

In most cases, your deck will need some form of deck footing to hold it in place, preventing moisture from rotting your wood and decreasing your deck’s lifespan. Concrete deck blocks are the most common type of footing for floating decks. Some homeowners use ground-level deck footings. For added security, consider digging and laying your ground-level footings below ground.
