"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

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. 

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.

Pavers are a great decking option for pools. They’re customizable, come in a variety of shapes, sizes, colors, textures, materials, and price points, and they’re slip-resistant. Concrete pool decks, on the other hand, are harder to repair and replace if damaged and aren’t as slip-resistant as most paver materials. However, not all pavers are equal in terms of durability, maintenance, and performance. Pavers also have their own cons that may encourage homeowners to opt for stamped concrete instead, such as higher upfront costs.

Composite decking might cost more upfront, but it delivers value in terms of durability. Unlike wood, composite material resists common deck problems such as rotting, fading, warping, and all the other things you don’t want a deck to do. The extra processes lead to a higher price tag, but you’ll save big in maintenance costs down the road.

The proper height for a stair riser or deck step is between four and seven inches, with seven inches often considered the most comfortable. Building your stairs to this height ensures a strain-free step position and minimizes the risk of trip and fall injuries. For optimal safety and comfort, especially on deck stairs, a rise of around seven inches should be paired with a tread depth (or run) of at least 10 to 12 inches. While it is possible to design stairs with risers up to 12 inches, this height can be challenging for children, pets, or individuals with mobility issues. Always check with your local building codes, as they may mandate specific dimensions that differ from these general recommendations.
