"Great experience with this company from start to finish. They were lower in price to a competitor and the salesperson was very knowlegable and professional in his approach. 3M products are what they use, high quality brand. Installation was scheduled very quickly and the job was done in a few hours with no fuss! Great company and I will recommend Total Shield Protection to my neighbors and friends!"

"I reached out and Scott responded within minutes. He came out the same day to provide an estimate and explain what needed to be done to fix my fence. From the moment we spoke he was not only knowledgeable but very detailed and meticulous, he clearly exceeded my expectations!. I can't describe what a reassuring feeling it is to have someone as kind and caring as Scott who takes so much pride in his work as well as his clients. You just dont' find that caliber of people who not only do their job but also reassures you by eliminating the burden and uncertainty that comes with repairs simply by knowing you are working with a professional who's assistance has been invaluable. "My gratitude goes beyond words—thank you for all your efforts Scott". Carol"

"Excellent customer service, great quality of work and a real pleasant team to work with. We had our roof, driveway and pool patio power washed and sealed. Our home looked great. We received several comments from people walking by the house asking if we had our house painted - it looked that fresh and clean. I would highly recommend UBA Pressure Washing and Sealer."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Yes, it is possible to build a small, basic deck for $5,000, particularly if you use less expensive materials and a simple design. To stay within this budget, consider a size under 10x12 feet and use affordable materials like pressure-treated wood or cedar. While the general cost for deck building ranges from $4,350 to $12,560, with an average around $8,200, some projects can be completed for as little as $4,350. You can also save on labor costs by doing the work yourself, but be aware that mistakes could end up costing more than hiring a professional. A contractor may have a higher upfront cost, but they can ensure a safe, stable deck that will last.

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.

Spindles on a deck may also be called balusters or pickets. While not as important to the structural support of the deck as the rail posts, they play a critical role in ensuring the deck is safe to use by closing in large gaps in the railing. For this reason, balusters must be no more than 4 inches away from one another.

Any wood deck provides some ventilation to the area below, as is the nature of that type of deck design. However, areas that experience excessive humidity and associated moisture benefit greatly from a dedicated ventilation system in the form of strip vents. This addition helps the various wood boards contract and expand evenly throughout the years and reduces the chances of twisting, warping, and buckling.

The best way to sand a deck is by cleaning it, sanding the boards and stairs with 60- or 80-grit sandpaper, and sanding the railings and posts with 80-grit sandpaper. You should sand in the direction of the wood grain to avoid damaging the timber. When sanding your deck, use medium pressure and aim for an even sand. Pressing too hard with a sander can damage decks, as most are softwoods.
