"I hired MH Solutions for a fence repair. Omar answered my request quickly and had me send him pictures of the damage done to the fence. Omar showed up at the time agreed to and fixed the problem, now I can open and close my fence again. WE were very happy with Omar's professionalism as well as the quote for the job. I will definitely keep Omar's contact info and call him again if need arises."

"Erik was very honest about everything we needed. He came in resurfaced the pool, changed the coping to travertine, and repaired, and resurfaced the deck to concrete. He was the only company that told us the truth that putting travertine on the patio will cause problems with our sliding glass doors (water getting in). In the end, we paid more than the initial quote, however, we have an old pool which had unexpected issues and we added extra accessories as well. But even with that, his final bill was still less than some of the other companies that gave us quotes."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

A deck is typically attached to a house and accessed via the back door. Decks are usually constructed from wood or composite materials. A terrace, on the other hand, is a raised platform that can be attached to or detached from the house and is typically made from a hard-paved material, such as paving stones. Terraces can be built on the ground or on the roof of a home.

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.

Your deck may look or feel fuzzy after pressure washing because the high-pressure spray tears some wood fibers as it removes the outer layer of dead and discolored wood. This fuzzy effect is a normal part of the pressure-washing process and will go away on its own in a few weeks. You can opt to spot-sand your deck if you’d like to remove it more quickly.

In general, you need a footing at each corner of your deck, and within 8 feet of each other. So, how many you need depends on the size and shape of your deck, plus any local building codes. It also depends on factors like the load capacity of your soil and the weight of your deck. You can find a footing calculator online or contact a pro for support.

Applying too much sealer to a deck might seem like extra protection, but it can cause more harm than good. Wood is a porous material with a limited capacity to absorb liquids. When you go overboard with sealer, the excess can't soak in and instead forms a film on the surface. This leftover layer is prone to peeling, cracking, and trapping moisture, ultimately defeating the purpose of sealing in the first place.
