"WOW! John, Melinda and Ryan did one h—l of a job on my place. We’re not talking just driveway, we are talking house, roof, front yard wooden deck, back yard wooden pool deck, patio pavers (side and back yard), seawall, retention wall and even our teak furniture!!!! They worked on my “stuff” for 2 days, even in the rain. John had me inspect what they had completed before moving onto the next pressure washing endeavor to ensure I was fully satisfied each step of the way. When everything was completed it all looked new again and best of all it was affordable! The wife and I couldn’t be more pleased. Fact is, we have already schedule Pressure Washing Orlando again for next year! THANKS!!!!"

"We used Jeremy to replace some wood siding on our house and weâ re extremely pleased. He was professional, friendly, and was even willing to educate me along the way. The final product was very well done and the price was more than fair. I would definitely use Jeremy for future products!"

"How lucky l am to choose Marcello to build my shed! He was very conscientious and called the manufacturer for a question about the anchors. He stopped by Lowe’s to buy the right ones that he needed. He worked very hard with a partner for 5 hours. He went above and beyond to exceed my expectations. Top quality guys and I definitely will be hiring them again."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

What goes under your floating deck depends on your preferences. Some homeowners put landscaping fabric underneath their decks to prevent weeds from popping up through the boards. Others choose to build a floating deck over grass or gravel. However, it’s best not to set your deck directly on the ground. Instead, set your deck on blocks to keep it elevated enough to prevent moisture from rotting the wood.

Before installing any materials under the deck for removing moisture, you should perform some prep work on the ground. Work the dirt under the deck to create a grade away from the home. A grade of at least six inches for every 10 feet works well. Do not leave a gap between the dirt and the home’s foundation where water could pool. Once you or a contractor regrades the dirt under the deck, you then can add materials over the top.

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.

Ideally, a gate should be able to swing both in and out. However, if it can only open in one direction, it is generally best for it to swing inward. This is often the safest option, especially for deck gates near steps, as you'll want the gate to swing away from the stairs. An inward swing also prevents the gate from opening into a public space, like a sidewalk, and can be more convenient when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

There are exceptions, however. The layout of your property may require a different approach. For example, if your property is on a slope, the gate may not be able to swing inward. You should also ensure the gate can open fully without colliding with any objects or blocking access to other areas. For a backyard garden gate where public access isn't a concern, the direction it swings is largely a matter of personal preference. Finally, always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements for which way a gate must swing.

Yes, you can draw your own deck plans in many cases. However, you must know your local building codes and be familiar with carpentry principles. Even then, it's always best to run your plans by a professional contractor with experience building decks, whether you choose to DIY some of the build or not.
