"Just followed up on their own with my trying to reach them, but not really getting them until the work was already done overnight. They are busy, so reaching them requires a combination of calling and texting. Again, they needed a broom from me to clear the car. Very patient with fact that I needed to drive to ATM to get cash to pay them. Apparently, they are not able to process a credit card. Quickly cleaned up late.-arriving snow. Will look forward to next time there is a storm with snow."

Theo power washed our house we purchased and cleaned what could possibly had been over a decade of dirt grim and filth. Our house feels more like a home clean. Will definitely use again for our home projects."

"James responded quickly when I requested an estimate, and after I chose his team they started work immediately within a few days. I have a two story log cabin with two story garage that is similar that I needed stained. Additionally I had a few logs that needed some attention because of rot. While James and his team were cleaning and spraying other areas of the house I was able to make the repairs without slowing them down. Additionally James explained the potential cause for the rot may have been associated with the steep roof slope and type of leaf guard I was using withy gutter. James also took care of that while he was here with no delays."

"I contacted Jim because my door jam had cracked and broken away. He came out and took a look, and pointed out a few other things - some that I had previously noticed, and others that I hadn't, but had noticed the symptoms (improper weather stripping, for example). The price was extremely reasonable, and the quality of the work was top notch. He was also very clean, and left no mess behind."

Deck Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Decks are generally more expensive to build because they require elevating and railings. The difference between decks and patios is that decks are elevated, while patios are usually on the ground level. Plus, decks are usually made of wood and need more maintenance than most patios. However, decks and patios serve the same purpose, providing outdoor space for you to enjoy.

Before installing any materials under the deck for removing moisture, you should perform some prep work on the ground. Work the dirt under the deck to create a grade away from the home. A grade of at least six inches for every 10 feet works well. Do not leave a gap between the dirt and the home’s foundation where water could pool. Once you or a contractor regrades the dirt under the deck, you then can add materials over the top.

No. In most cases, it’s not colder or freezing temperatures that affect decking materials but the amount of moisture that seeps into the materials as a result. For example, wood decking material is more likely to suffer from rot or decay when exposed to excess moisture from snow or ice. An extreme change in temperature can cause wood to expand or contract, but only if it’s not properly treated beforehand.

A ground-level deck is a great idea for an outdoor space because it’s easy to access and doesn't require stairs or railings. You can install a ground-level deck near your home or farther away on your property. You can place a ground-level deck around a pool, fire pit, or near a view such as a lake, pond, or area of trees.

The best way to clean your decking is to clear debris from the gaps between the boards, sweep the surface, rinse it, apply cleaner, rinse again, and let it dry fully. A homemade deck cleaner made of two gallons of warm water and 1/2 cup vinegar is a simple cleaning solution for both wood and composite decking. You can sprinkle baking soda on any spots with mold or mildew, then scrub the area and rinse clean.
