"Overall great experience hiring Barefoot painting & renovations! His team was hard working, punctual and respectful. Took about three days for the project to be completed from tearing down old deck to a new rebuild. I'm satisfied with the job done."

"We hired Rich and Toni to pressure wash and paint our front steps/stoop, back deck and railings. We had another company to do this about three years ago, and within a year there were bare spots, peeling and a lot of mildew. Once we observed the process that Rich and Toni used to complete the job (wash, sand, paint, sand, paintâ ¦) it was clear why there was a huge discrepancy between the first companyâ s results and the outcome of the Barefoot Painters! Once we saw the results of their outdoor work, we asked Toni and Rich about repainting our kitchen cabinets. We originally thought we would have to reface the doors (they had a coating on them that had yellowed over the years, and they looked very old and tired.) They assured us that refinishing the cabinets would make them look brand new. They took off the 20 cabinet doors to refinish at home, then came back to work on the boxes. Without us asking, they also painted the backs of the doors, inside the drawers, and bought/replaced all of the hinges, and put buffers of the doors and drawers. The cabinets look brand new! I canâ t say enough about the friendliness, thoroughness, reliability and honesty of this company! The pricing was very reasonable, they made sure our house was clean every day when they left, and they were clear in any communication. Rich and Toni are meticulous in their work, making sure everything meets their high standards. We already have plans to use them in the future!"

"Initial quote was great, but it took 7 return trips to get the job completed. The biggest issue was the man quoting it and the people doing the work don't seem to communicate. I had to keep calling them back and asking them to complete the job. They did not communicate well as to when they would do the work. Twice I took a day off work with the understanding they would finish the job. Once they showed up and did 20 min of work and said they had to go to the shop and would be back the next day. The other I called and asked where they were and they said they couldn't make it and would be out the next day. In the end, the work is good, but you have to stay on top of them to get the work completed."

"Very reasonable, respectful team of professionals. My house is gleaming and my deck railings are finally mildew free. They're coming out again in a couple days to stain the deck railings of two 16 x 30 decks for a very reasonable charge. Also, am having them replace the wax ring of a toilet and fix the indented floor. I'm delighted to have found Davon. He'll be my first call for all my house repairs."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

In most cases, sanding an old deck before staining it is necessary to achieve a decent finish. If your old deck has a relatively new stain finish on it and you're only doing touch-ups, you can generally skip the sanding part. However, if your goal is to make the deck look and function better, sanding first is a must. 

Choosing whether your deck should be lighter or darker than your house is a matter of personal preference, as there is no right or wrong answer. However, considering the pros and cons of each can help guide your decision. Darker colors are often chosen because they show less dirt, footprints, and marks from daily wear, making them easier to keep clean. On the other hand, lighter deck colors tend to stay cooler in the summer. From a design perspective, using a deck color that contrasts with your home's exterior can help make the deck a more defined and distinct feature. Consulting color theory can also make the process of choosing a complementary house and deck color combination easier.

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.

The problems with composite decking include a high rate of expansion and contraction from temperature swings. This characteristic can cause boards to split, delaminate, or peel. In addition, significant movement can cause shrinking, warping, twisting, and bending. For this reason, you should minimize moisture and ensure proper airflow below your deck.

You typically don’t need a railing and handrails on a deck that’s less than 30 inches from the ground. However, consider adding them regardless. Railings provide additional safety for you and your guests who use your deck—plus, railings give the deck a more finished look than it would have without them.
