Are there any alternatives to deck footings?

• <div><p>Deck pier blocks are one alternative to traditional deck footings. Unlike poured concrete and buried post footings, deck blocks <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/deck-footings-no-digging.htm">don’t require digging</a> or pouring. They’re best for small or low-to-the-ground decks. Keep in mind, though, that not all areas allow the use of deck pier blocks, so consult your local building codes before choosing them for your deck.</p></div>

What maintenance does a wood deck need?

• <div><p>A wood deck needs an annual cleaning, plus refinishing every two to three years, which involves <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-sand-deck.htm">sanding the deck</a> and applying stain or sealer. If you have a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-paint-deck.htm">painted deck</a>, you’ll need to repaint it every 10 years. You should also fix and repair loose or broken deck boards, nails, and screws. Cleaning your deck regularly and applying sealant protects the wood from the elements, water damage, rot, mildew, and fading from the sun.</p></div>

How do I flatten a cupped deck board?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Should I hire a professional to rescreen my porch?

• <div><p>If you’re not an experienced DIYer, consider hiring a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/repair-patio/">local patio repair contractor</a> to rescreen your porch or sunroom. Unless you’re only repairing a small rip or hole, this project is not an easy job. A professional can also make recommendations for materials that will work best for your porch. </p></div>

They painted my wooden fence. Several panels and large gates painted inside and out. Careful not to get paint on inground pool and decking. The men in this company are now my friends. Their professional attitudes are commendable and appreciated. I will call on them for future projects.

David Contreras and his crew were very professional. They were incredibly carful with placing their equipment on my pool deck. And when they cleaned up. It's as if they were never there.

"Thomas has done several projects for me. He built my front porch where he tore out the old porch and rebuilt it with railings and stairs. I recently had him replace some doors on my pack-house (shed), where he did some re-framing around the doors where it was rotten. He replaced some exterior siding, has done trim work, and built a pantry for me. He did an amazing job, it looked it was always here! He is very meticulous about his work, very prompt, personable and on-time. Very good value for money!"
