"Jeffrey came by himself when he said he would and went right to work. It took a few days but he got the wallpaper off and did not damage anything in the kitchen while working. He had to mud one area so it took a couple of days to paint the walls. He paints quickly and professionally and cleans up as he goes. Jeffrey applied two coats of paint with the gallon I had already purchased. I found very few paint drops and most were tiny. He is the neatest painter I have ever used. I always expect some mess from construction, but his was minor. He caulked the counters and then trimmed them out again with paint. Even his cleanup was neat. I am very pleased with everything he did and highly recommend him. I plan to use him for pressure washing and to re-stain and paint my front door."

"Trey contacted me right after my request for quotation. He called ahead to let me know he was coming. The job involved splicing a broken PVC line. He offered to do it on the spot. He procured the materials and got the job done. Fast, efficient, friendly."

Deck Maintenance FAQs, answered by experts

It depends on the type of wood. The average cost to build a deck out of pressure-treated lumber is $15 to $25 per square foot, but more affordable varieties such as bamboo and cedar cost less at around $3 to $10 per square foot. However, when comparing the cost of vinyl decking versus wood decking, it’s important to also consider ongoing maintenance costs. For example, most woods require regular sealing to keep them protected against weather and rot.

To flatten a cupped deck board, start by ensuring it’s dry. Then, try flipping the board over so the cupped side faces down and reattach it. If that’s not possible, you can use screws to pull it tighter to the joists or plane the edges slightly to reduce the cup. It’s best to replace severely cupped boards.

Space deck handrail posts four to six feet apart. If the posts are more than six feet apart, the railing will be less able to withstand lateral forces and is more susceptible to breaking. Additionally, railing posts that are more than six feet apart may not be up to code, and you may face fines and be required to reinstall the posts to bring them up to code.

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.

The best way to sand a deck is by cleaning it, sanding the boards and stairs with 60- or 80-grit sandpaper, and sanding the railings and posts with 80-grit sandpaper. You should sand in the direction of the wood grain to avoid damaging the timber. When sanding your deck, use medium pressure and aim for an even sand. Pressing too hard with a sander can damage decks, as most are softwoods.
