"While the worker did a good job on the screens they were told in advance that the pool deck had been recently painted and it did not need to be cleaned. They explained to me their process of starting on the outside of the enclosure to spray a treatment and then come inside to complete. After that they would clean the pool deck. 
Again I told them that the deck didn't need to be cleaned just rinsed off and to take care of the paint which was only 2 weeks old. At the end of the service when they asked me about the service the screens were clean and no issues but most of my deck had scratches in it and sections where the paint had been rubbed off because of the furniture being drug across it instead of just picking it up. Nothing is so heavy it couldn't be picked up by one person. It was just pushed around or moved by the person pulling the hoses around.
Not happy I now have to have my decked paint patched up."

"It did not go well and I won’t be using them again.  When I saw the low quality of their work and that they didn’t have the right equipment needed, I decided I wouldn’t use them again.  The price was good but not for the quality I received.  I had them pressure wash around the pool and the two people that came out took quite a long time to do so."

Deck Repair questions, answered by experts

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

Whether you need a permit depends on the deck design and local regulations. Most areas mandate a building permit if the deck is over a specific height or if it's attached to a pre-existing structure. Shorter, freestanding decks may not require a permit, but you should check with local zoning ordinances and your homeowners association for specifics.

It’s important to make sure the wood on a new deck is properly seasoned. Seasoning a deck is simple: Once you build it (or have a pro do so), just leave it alone so it can acclimate to the environment. If you don’t give the deck proper seasoning time before staining, the stain can lock in any lingering moisture and cause mold, rot, and other moisture issues down the road. Give the wood at least four to eight weeks to season before you stain.

A cedar deck can increase your home's value if the project is executed well. The value added by a deck is influenced by factors such as location, materials, and craftsmanship. In regions with warmer climates, decks are particularly desirable, enhancing outdoor living spaces.

The key to getting the most value out of your investment, both in terms of home value and personal enjoyment, is to make sure your deck is built to exacting standards. You should consult with a professional deck builder to get the best results and the highest ROI.

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.
