"Marvin was excellent. He prides himself on both customer service and doing great work. We had our pool cage and deck thoroughly pressure washed and cleaned. Marvin also did our front walkway. We are new to the property so all were a mess as they have never been cleaned. He made sure I was happy with his work. I highly recommend. Thank you Marvin."

"I called Rickey based on the many reviews on HomeAdvisor in which his clients stated that once they hired him, they never hired anyone else. I now count myself among that group! First, he actually answered the phone when I called the first time. My main project was to repair tile that was falling down in my guest bathroom. I also had some other handyman projects. Rickey talked me through everything and even suggested I stop by Floor & Decor to pick out some tile as they were having a sale. He recommended I focus on less expensive tile for the main work and add in decorative glass tile for a special touch. It would save me money and look great (he was right!). When he came by to take a look at everything and give me his quote, he didn't try to up sell me on anything. Once the work began, both him and his colleague Chad were on time, professional and paid attention to every detail. I ended up having them do quite a bit of projects around my home during the four days they were there. Rickey didn't even charge me for most of the repairs they made. I am happy to have found Rickey. My handyman for life! You won't regret calling him."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

Finding a reputable deck builder should start with speaking with a local company and asking for samples of past work and references. You can review the company’s workmanship and speak with past customers to learn what the customer service was like throughout the process. It’s also a good idea to read online reviews and check the Better Business Bureau (BBB) website to see if the company has a history of customer complaints. If you can get a referral from a family member or friend, that’s another great option.

When staining a deck, don’t skip surface prep, avoid staining damp or dirty boards, and don’t apply stain in extreme heat, cold, or wet conditions. Never overload the wood with a stain, as too much can cause tackiness or peeling. Also, don’t forget to test a small area first to ensure the color and finish look right.

It is possible to pressure wash your deck, but it’s usually best to leave the work to a professional for two main reasons. First, power washers are expensive, and you can avoid high upfront costs by hiring a deck washing pro instead. Second, you must be careful to use the correct setting to avoid damaging your deck material. You can only clean soft woods like pine with a wide spray and a low pressure; otherwise, the water will leave unpleasant marks on your deck. Hard woods, composite material, and metal can stand up to increasingly higher water pressures.

It is recommended to clean your deck once or twice a year to prevent the accumulation of dirt, debris, mold, and mildew. The ideal times for cleaning are in the spring and fall. A spring cleaning removes grime that has built up over the winter, preparing your deck for summer use. A fall cleaning washes away messes from summer activities, preventing them from setting into the wood over the winter. The exact frequency can depend on factors such as how often the deck is used, its exposure to pollen, and whether salt was used on it during the winter. Regular cleaning helps protect the wood and its finish from damage.
