"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

Whether composite decking is better than wood depends on your priorities, especially regarding budget and maintenance. Composite decking offers superior longevity (30 to 50 years) and durability, and it is low-maintenance, requiring no sanding, staining, or sealing. In contrast, wood decks typically last 10 to 30 years and need refinishing every few years. While the upfront cost of composite is higher than wood, the reduced maintenance can lead to long-term savings. If a lower initial cost is the primary factor, wood is the more affordable choice.

While the terms deck and porch are often used interchangeably, they are two distinct structures. A porch is a covered structure, usually attached to the front of a home, that offers protection from the elements. In contrast, a deck is an open, uncovered platform, often attached to the back or side of a home. Because porches have a roof, they typically require less maintenance than decks, but both features need regular cleaning and repairs to stay in good condition.

The average cost to professionally clean or pressure wash a deck is around $150, with prices typically ranging from $100 to $600. Several factors influence the final price, including the deck's size, material, condition, and how long it has been since its last cleaning. For a smaller deck of about 300 square feet, you might pay around $100. For a larger deck of 1,000 square feet or more, the cost could be closer to $300 to $400. Decks that are very dirty or haven't been cleaned in years may require more time and special detergents, which will increase the price. The deck's material also plays a role. Wood decks often cost more to clean because they require a gentle power washing technique to avoid damage. Composite decks are typically less expensive to clean, and cleaning a metal deck may cost around $100.

Homeowners should build their floating decks at least 18 inches off the ground. Having it at this height will allow for better airflow underneath and help prevent moisture-related problems like warping or rot. That being said, local guidelines for deck heights may vary depending on where you live.

That depends on the condition of your deck. An older deck that looks drab, worn, or has multiple damaged boards might be worth replacing before selling. However, if your deck is in good condition, you can simply clean, repaint, or stain it.
