"James and his crew did a great job at my Mom's home in Sebring. They pressure cleaned the pool deck and then sealed and painted it. They informed me everyday what they would be doing, were very professional, and the deck looks like new. I would highly recommend them."

"This is the third time Carl has worked for us. He did roof repair and built an outside deck before. This time we were renovating our kitchen. Carl spent 4 days removing wood paneling, painting, plumbing and even made several trips to Home Depot to pick up needed materials. Carl is an excellent worker. He is honest, reliable, conscientious and a pleasure to work with. Obviously, we highly recommend him and would definitely use him for any future home renovations or repairs.

"I was so impressed with the efficient, professional and pleasant manner of this company. It was the best pressure washing job I've ever had. Job included screened pool cage and deck, outside of house, hurricane shutters, 3 car garage driveway and all sidewalks (not just my property sidewalks but the ones on the border of my property, which I'm responsible for keeping clean. I liked that he used a blower first to get rid of the debris and cobwebs. Good price for all that was done."

"We got lucky with these guys. They were professional, knowledgeable, courteous, and honest.. The work entailed removing kitchen cabinets and walls due to water damage that turned into mold. My whole family was sick. After the remediation, they sanitized the whole house, furnishings, and the AC units. Thank you Angle List for sending me these guys!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

It’s important to make sure the wood on a new deck is properly seasoned. Seasoning a deck is simple: Once you build it (or have a pro do so), just leave it alone so it can acclimate to the environment. If you don’t give the deck proper seasoning time before staining, the stain can lock in any lingering moisture and cause mold, rot, and other moisture issues down the road. Give the wood at least four to eight weeks to season before you stain.

When installing deck boards, screws are generally a better option than nails. Screws offer superior holding strength over time, keeping the boards securely in place. In contrast, nails are more likely to pop out, which can create a tripping hazard. While you can use either, we recommend using 3-inch galvanized deck screws. To minimize the risk of cracking the wood, it's a good practice to drill small pilot holes before driving the screws into the deck joists.

Yes, pressure washing a wood deck can be a good idea as it effectively lifts ingrained dirt, mold, and mildew, improving the deck's appearance and longevity. However, it must be done carefully, as it's easy to damage the wood, especially softwoods. To pressure wash safely, use a lower pressure setting and a wide, 40-degree fan pattern nozzle (often white). Keep the nozzle at least a foot away from the wood surface and maintain constant motion, avoiding hovering in one spot to prevent gouging.

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.

Pressure-treated wood contains preservatives that give the material internal protection from rot and pests. Untreated lumber won’t last more than a few years unless you choose a more expensive wood, like cedar, that naturally stands up well to moisture. Composite decking can outlast wood but is more expensive and doesn’t look as natural. Keep in mind that you’ll need to seal any exterior wood product to protect it from the elements and other forms of external damage.
