"This company has always done an excellent job on pressure washing the outside of our home. The owner is very friendly and knowledgeable. I will have him back to pressure wash the screens on the pool and the deck area soon. I would highly recommend this individual and his company ."

"The gentleman were prompt and very courteous. They worked diligently and made sure that I was completely satisfied with the work. The price was very reasonable, and they did a great job! They went above and beyond what was required. They provided helpful information about places for purchasing a ceiling fan. They paid such close attention to details during the work. They also made sure that the work area was left clean and tidy after repairs were done. I will definitely call Honeybears Home Repair for other projects."

"Panda sent a guy to assess the damage and make an estimate of repair. He took pictures, fully explained to me what they would do and assured me that their work would be guaranteed for several years. After I accepted the proposal they sent two young men who clearly were experienced in roof repair. They tore up the old shingles, showed me the rotten subsurface plywood and then removed it. They put in a new 4' by 8' section of plywood and added some extra support rails under the replaced piece just for extra insurance. New vents were installed with flashing and then they put down the water block underlay roofing paper. They had searched for similar shingles to replace as closely with the existing shingles color as possible. Wonderful job. Good people. Would recommend highly."

Deck Repair questions, answered by experts

Rot loves moisture, so deck rot typically impacts the parts of a board that stay wet. This includes the underside of boards, in addition to support posts and joists. However, any part of a board can rot, given the right conditions. 

A wood deck requires annual cleaning and regular inspections for loose or broken boards, nails, and screws. It should be refinished by applying a stain or sealer every two to three years to protect the wood from water damage, rot, mildew, and sun fading. The exact frequency can depend on the climate and the deck's exposure to sun and moisture. If your deck is painted, it will need repainting approximately every 10 years. Signs that your deck needs refinishing include faded, splintering, or warping boards.

The proper and most comfortable height for a deck stair riser, also called a step, is between four and seven inches. A height of seven inches is often considered ideal for a strain-free step that minimizes the risk of trips and falls. While it is possible to have risers up to 12 inches, this height can be challenging for children, pets, or individuals with mobility issues. For optimal safety and comfort, pair a seven-inch riser with a tread depth (or run) of at least 10 to 12 inches. Always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements that differ from these general recommendations.

Staining and sealing the underside of a deck creates a moisture barrier but traps water in the boards, quickly leading to rot. No matter how well you seal the above deck, water still gets through via nails and screw heads on the surface. Allow this water to flow naturally under the deck, where it is routed through the drainage system.

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.
