"Recently we had Supreme Painting and Maintenance come to paint our two decks. Their work from the beginning to the end was nothing less than perfection. They scrapped, sanded, primed and finished the job in short order and it was a pleasure to watch these old decks look brand new again. There is no question that their work has added value to our home and for that, we thank them. We wholeheartedly recommend them!"

"He offered to powerwash my house, gutter edges, concrete floor of front porch for $250. He also wanted to show me how my deck would look if he powerwashed it, too, and actually powerwashed the entire thing. I asked him how much did it cost to powerwash the deck and he said, no worry, if I wanted to add something it was up to me. He was alone doing this all himself and stopped only to change nozzles and attachments. He powerwashed my house, trim, the porch floor, a plastic shed that had green algae on it, my deck, walk, and another concrete pad that I put my trash cans on. He also got on my roof and removed some fallen limbs and leaves that collected in recesses. I wrote him a check for $400 and still wasn't sure I gave him what he earned, he did that great a job. I plan to hire him again."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

No, you don't need to stain Ipe decking, although you can if you want to change the color. You will, however, need to apply a UV coating if you don't want the natural color to fade. Speak to a deck staining specialist near you to discuss the best options if you want to stain your decking. And remember that you’ll need to seal your Ipe wood deck annually to protect it from scratches and Mother Nature.

DIY staining or painting is manageable with proper preparation, including safety measures, necessary tools, and adherence to safe weather conditions for application.

Yes, it is possible to add an under-deck drainage system to an existing deck by retrofitting it to the structure. This process may require some prep work. For example, many drainage systems are installed on top of the deck joists, which would require you to remove the decking boards and railings first. To avoid this, you could opt for a below-the-joist drainage system. For best results and to ensure proper installation, it is recommended to consult a professional. A pro can inspect your deck, make any necessary repairs, and then install the drainage system correctly.

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.

In most cases, sanding an old deck before staining it is necessary to achieve a decent finish. If your old deck has a relatively new stain finish on it and you're only doing touch-ups, you can generally skip the sanding part. However, if your goal is to make the deck look and function better, sanding first is a must.
