"Major League Pressure Wash did an amazing job with my driveway and walkway! They arrived on time, completed the job as promised and communicated with me every step of the way. The results were so good that I immediately contracted with them to sand and seal the lanai area. They completely restored the brick pavers to look brand new. I would definitely recommend Major League to keep your hardscape looking beautiful!"

"Joe came out and gave us a very fair estimate, he is very friendly and personable. We had to wait for HOA approval and we started roughly a month later. Joe was very easily reachable via phone/text and email. He came out and pressure washed, filled cracks, and then the crew came out and painted. They were very diligent and efficient, covered everything well/moved and replaced things. Joe uses good quality materials and it shows. Our house is stunning and we have received so many wonderful comments. Thanks Joe and Crew!

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Before installing a deck, you must build a base for the deck to rest upon, often made of compacted soil or gravel. While gravel is an optional material, it helps with drainage. Some contractors also recommend installing a weed control membrane, which helps provide a solid foundation for the frame. In the case of an elevated deck, a pro will often lay down a concrete slab as a foundation. 

Yes, deck footings typically require an inspection before laying down concrete. While not all local building codes require footing inspection, proper placement ensures a safe and structurally sound deck. An inspector will verify that the deck can adequately hold what you put on top of it., and that the footings have been dug to the correct dimensions.

Typically, most residential wooden decks are designed to support approximately 40 pounds per square foot, including the deck’s weight and any items placed on it. While this is fine for typical use, it is usually not enough to hold the weight of a hot tub filled with water and people. To safely support a hot tub, your wood deck will likely require reinforcement. Therefore, it’s best to have a contractor or a structural engineer assess it before hot tub installation.

Deck repairs cost around $800 to $3,500 . However, your cost depends on the type and severity of the repair, as well as the type of decking material you have. Other factors, like location and labor costs, impact the price, too. Boards and railings are the priciest parts of a deck to repair, while loose stairs are less expensive to fix.

Although composite decking is extremely durable, it’s also susceptible to extreme heat. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause fading, warping, and cracking. Composite also retains heat more than wood, which makes it dangerous to walk on in the summer. You can help prevent heat damage by only building with composite in shaded areas or using rugs to cover the hottest spots.
