"Great Finishes did a great job. They showed up on time and did what they said they would do, and more. And they followed up a few days later to do some minor touch up work. Our floor had grown a bit tired and dingy over the years as kids and grandkids tracked in dirt, but Wes and his experienced crew brought it back to life. And they were also helpful with advice on how to keep the floor looking great going forward. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Great Finishes. Old fashioned customer service and professionalism are not dead. I recommend them highly."

Customers say: True professional

"Jesus was a true professional! I needed a few repairs on my deck and some renovation and he and his partner not only made the necessary repairs but made my deck look like new! On top of that, he did it days before 4th July weekend allowing us to have our BBQ on our newly Reno Deck! He is a must hire for deck repairs/installations and any other repairs around the house. Looking forward to future projects with Jesus! He’s a keeper and should be recommended to all. Thanks Jesus for a great job!"

They have power washed our roof, our house, and driveway, cleaned our windows - inside and out - and today they came and cleaned our glass bannister. They are reliable and honest. You wonâ t be disappointed if you hire them."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

You typically don’t need a railing and handrails on a deck that’s less than 30 inches from the ground. However, consider adding them regardless. Railings provide additional safety for you and your guests who use your deck—plus, railings give the deck a more finished look than it would have without them.

In general, you need a footing at each corner of your deck, and within 8 feet of each other. So, how many you need depends on the size and shape of your deck, plus any local building codes. It also depends on factors like the load capacity of your soil and the weight of your deck. You can find a footing calculator online or contact a pro for support.

The overhang, or nosing, of deck steps is another area that will be covered in building code requirements. The noses on your deck steps should have a minimum overhang of ¾ inch. For safety, usability, and code compliance, the nosing of deck steps should not extend past 1¼ inches.

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.

Be careful when choosing a product to help you remove ice from your wood deck. Never use sand, gravel, or salt, since these items can damage and scratch the wood. Instead, look for chemical de-icers that are marked as safe for wood decks or use hot water to melt snow and ice.
