"Harley painting did an excellent job, and everything went very smoothly. I didnt have to do much of anything except pick the color and the paint, and Joe and his team didnt need any prodding or oversight like many contractors do. I would highly recommend Joe and his team."

"Superbly professional Service. I would definitely hire again the guys are very polite, and have a good work ethic. If I could post a before and after picture here of how nice my driveway looks now, you’d be impressed too. I also hired them to do my pool area and it came out fantastic. May have them repaint the house when I get a chance."

"Extreme Maintenance was one of three companies I contacted for solution and quote for a drainage problem and washout between our house and next door neighbor’s. Michael called me back same day and came by the next day to look at the area and provided a sensible solution as well as a verbal quote. He even cleared and redirected a malfunctioning sprinkler head while here! The written quote came via email that evening. After two other companies looked at the area and offered suggestions, I felt Michael had the best handle on a solution and accepted his quote. He called me back right away, then came by to finalize details and set date for job (one-day job), which was Monday of following week. Because of rain delays job was actually done on Thursday, but Michael kept me updated along the way. He and his team came by on Thursday and completed job same day. They cleared away old lava rock and old plastic sheeting beneath it. Then, they back-filled a 6’ x 4’ x 1’ washout beneath our neighbor’s sidewalk, hand dug an 80 ft. long trench, laid drainage tubing along the length of the trench to funnel water to the swale behind the houses. Then, they covered the drain tube with filter cloth and topped with rock and cleaned up the work area beautifully. He called me out a couple of times during their work to show me what was being done and explained why. After completion, we walked the whole area to be sure all was to my satisfaction. It was! Late Friday afternoon, we noticed that a stationary irrigation head that was right in the path of the workers had been broken during the work. I called Michel that evening and he returned my call Saturday morning to say he would be by on Tuesday morning to repair (he was out of town for the weekend). True to his word, he was there on Tuesday morning and made the repair. He also repaired another malfunctioning irrigation head (nothing to do with his team) while there and advised us that we should look into some other maintenance issues with the irrigation system before they caused some major problems. I am very pleased with the whole project, from start to finish. Michael was knowledgeable about a solution to our problem, offered a fair quote, completed the job beautifully and within reasonable time. He was great at keeping me informed of anything effecting the job and provided great advice/warning about potential problems with the irrigation system. For anyone who needs a maintenance/installation job done, I recommend Extreme Maintenance!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Footings for ground-level decks need to be at least 12 inches deep, and some areas require them to be even deeper. A standard range for deck footings is anywhere from 12 to 48 inches. The minimum footing depth is determined by an area’s frost line and soil conditions. If you’re unsure how deep to install deck footings, check local building codes to find the minimum footing depth in your area. 

Composite decking boards aren't your only options for building a deck. There are several other types of materials for decks, including wood and aluminum decking. Wood decking comes in many different wood species, offering natural beauty and classy timelessness to your yard. Aluminum is a lightweight, water-resistant, and low-maintenance material that is also non-slip.

Yes, you can attach a deck to a mobile home, but it’s important that the work be done correctly to avoid the potential for major damage to your home. Many building codes require that any additions to mobile homes—including decks—be either freestanding or have their own support structures. Getting permits may require submitting the home's original floor plan, the proposed floor plan, framing details, and more. 

Spindles on a deck may also be called balusters or pickets. While not as important to the structural support of the deck as the rail posts, they play a critical role in ensuring the deck is safe to use by closing in large gaps in the railing. For this reason, balusters must be no more than 4 inches away from one another.

No, you don’t need a permit to repair and replace a few boards on an existing deck. However, if you’re making structural changes to the deck or tearing down the old one and building a new one, you will likely need a permit. Check with your local municipality for the regulations and rules in your area, or ask a local contractor who builds decks for advice.
