"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

You can use a few different tactics to prevent your deck gate from sagging. Aside from using strong, rot-resistant woods, introducing a diagonal element—such as a tension rod or solid piece of wood to act as a brace—across the gate will offer better support. You can also use rigid joists to prevent the gate from sagging.

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.

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.

A random orbital sander is best for sanding a deck because it is easier to handle than other power sanders and is less likely to damage the wood. Most decks are made of types of softwood, so a gentler sanding process is essential to prevent permanent blemishes. For example, belt sanders can gouge softwoods.

There are more pros than cons when staining a deck. Deck stain is more affordable than paint, it protects the wood and allows the natural textures to shine through, and it can revive the appearance of your home. However, deck stain also requires prep work (sometimes days or more), carries more upkeep than a painted deck, and can fade over time if not cared for.
