"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

The best direction for a gate to swing depends on its location and purpose, but swinging inward is the general rule. An inward swing is often considered safer, prevents the gate from opening into public spaces like a sidewalk, and may be required by local building codes.

There are exceptions and specific considerations. If your property is on a slope, an inward swing might not be possible. For a deck gate, it's safest to have it swing away from any steps. In a backyard, the direction can be a matter of preference, though an inward swing can be helpful when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

Regardless of direction, ensure the gate can open fully without hitting any objects or blocking spaces. While an inward swing is standard, a gate that can swing both in and out offers the most flexibility if your setup allows for it.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

Always sand a deck before repainting so the wood is smooth and ready for paint. While you do not need to fully remove paint before repainting, sanding helps remove any areas with weather and sun damage. Sanding also helps remove chipped or flaking paint and opens the wood pores to improve paint adhesion.

Yes, Ipe is more expensive than Trex decking—both in terms of materials and installation (plus, Ipe trees are endangered). On average, Ipe decking costs $10 to $25 per square foot, while Trex decking costs $5 to $12 per square foot. Because Ipe is harder to work with, the price of installation is higher, too. For Ipe decking, you’ll pay between $20 and $45 per square foot for labor. However, with Trex decking, the labor costs range from $8 to $22 per square foot.

Yes, and in some cases, frozen ground may improve the digging process for footings due to sturdier conditions. It’s easier than working in muddy conditions, which are more common in the spring. Contractors may use machinery that makes this step a breeze, so harder ground shouldn’t affect the building process.
