"Very positive experience from the first contact with Rob to the final walk-through at completion. Rob and Michael arrived on schedule, explained all steps in the process for our house wash, patio, pool deck and driveway pressure wash. The fair pricing, preparation and care of our property and final results exceeded our expectations. We will definitely be using him again in the future!"

"Jeff was contacted on a Thursday to replace a sliding glass door with french doors, he showed up on Friday and completed the job very quickly. I also hired him to finish a deck and he was very prompt and did an excellent job."

"Very well. Mr. Shifrin even came to our home on a weekend day to work on the washer, without charging an exorbitant fee. He did an excellent job pressure washing our metal roof. It is steeply pitched, and he worked safely, yet did a thorough job of it."

"John fully explained how my roof is soft washed. Right now there are still dark spots on my roof that apparently the cleaning agents are still working. He said that it would come cleaner after the first good rain. So I'm waiting on the first good rain. That is why I gave a 4 star for quality--I have to wait for rain. He cleaned my gutters out, so that is a plus."

"Excellent!!!! We initially contracted with Sal, the owner, to pressure wash our lanai. We pressure washed it ourselves only two months before but the stains remained. When Sal pressure washed the surface, it looked new again. He recommended painting the surface to ensure our satisfaction for years and years to come. He just put the final coat on the pool deck and it looks brand new, moreover we can expect to enjoy this look for years and years to come. Sal delivers! He shows up when he says he's going to. He does fantastic work. He's thorough, clean, and works quickly. We've already scheduled him to come back to do two more projects."

"Melanie came to our home promptly and gave us estimates on two types of fencing. She was knowledgeable and courteous. When we decided to hire, it was done the same week over a two day period. The man that came to put up the fence was very nice and worked hard. The second day he came later than we expected but he brought a helper and they did a great job finishing the project. They cleaned up the old rotten fencing. We are very pleased with the new fence. We will choose this business again and I would recommend them to anyone. Great job, Thanks!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Building codes for deck railings can vary by location, so it's important to consult your local regulations before construction. Generally, a guardrail is required for any deck that is more than 30 inches above the ground.

For residential properties, the standard minimum height for a deck railing is 36 inches. However, some states and municipalities have stricter requirements; for example, California and Washington mandate railings that are at least 42 inches high. Therefore, a 42-inch railing is not considered too high and may be required in your area or chosen voluntarily for additional safety.

In addition to height requirements, codes also specify other safety features, such as the maximum spacing between balusters to ensure they are close enough to prevent a child from squeezing through.

There are a variety of second-story deck privacy ideas depending on your budget and aesthetic. For starters, you might consider fencing or tall privacy railing that masks a good portion of the open deck. A pergola or an awning can provide additional cover and shade. Outdoor curtains are an easy way to add or remove privacy at your convenience, plus they’re a wallet-friendly way to decorate your deck.

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.

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.

The cost to repair a deck is between $900 and $3,500, depending on the cause and extent of the damage. For example, fixing a sinking deck caused by pest damage can cost between $200 and $600, while replacing sinking boards costs between $500 and $4,000.
