"Getting a quote was easy and timely. The price was very fair. We paid by check with 1/2 down and completed check payment at completion of job. We contacted the end of April and the job completed a few weeks later. The 2 employees who showed up on time and were nice and great with communication to make sure they knew exactly what we wanted and expected. They were respectful of our and neighbor property. The 2 employees were joined by another couple of employees and the job was completed mid afternoon. They checked in about obstacles and questions to make sure we knew what would be done. We are very happy with the work. The above work type didn’t let me choose the exact job. Residence. They removed an 35 yr old rotten fence and built the new cedar fence with steel posts and a gates in a day."

"My gutters are sparkling! Nathan worked deftly around our lawn care crew, who inconveniently showed up at the same time he did to address my project. I am quite satisfied with my newly cleaned gutters, ready for the year ahead. Anytime Shine did the job!"

"I originally got a quote to install my new microwave over the new range. I hired them and that turned into many projects. They installed my microwave and made sure it was properly ventilated Added tile around the top of my shower and floor. Installed a new vanity light, new fan exhaust in the bathroom and split the switch where I could use them separately. Added beadboard to the wall in my bathroom, secured the vanity and added a backslash. Added new backslash in the kitchen and secured 2 cupboards. Installed a new garbage disposal and fixed and electrical outlet in my kitchen Took my old sliding glass door out and installed a new one. Cleaned the gutters for me and cleaned the leaves off my deck. Not only was Jason and Jessie very professional and courteous, they took the time to answer any questions I had and explained what they were doing, and paid attention to details. The price is worth a job well done. I highly recommend them to anyone. I know I will use them again."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

You can add a roof to most decks, but you need to have it inspected first. If your deck didn’t come with a roof initially, it may not be able to handle the weight without some structural changes. You can add additional supports to your existing deck to safely add a roof, and tying your deck’s roof to an exterior wall can help add some structural stability, but remember these aren’t DIY projects and need to be left to a pro. 

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.

The best and fastest way to remove paint from a deck often involves combining a chemical stripper with a pressure washer. Gel-based paint strippers are highly recommended because their thick consistency makes them less messy and easier to apply than liquid strippers. After applying the stripper to loosen the paint, you can use a pressure washer to efficiently wash away the residue. When using a pressure washer for this task, it's important to use a low pressure (under 1000 PSI) to avoid forcing too much moisture into the wood, which could lead to mildew or rot.

When installing deck boards, screws are generally a better option than nails. Screws offer superior holding strength over time, keeping the boards securely in place. In contrast, nails are more likely to pop out, which can create a tripping hazard. While you can use either, we recommend using 3-inch galvanized deck screws. To minimize the risk of cracking the wood, it's a good practice to drill small pilot holes before driving the screws into the deck joists.

To maximize the utility of space under a deck, it’s important to keep this area dry and clean. One way to prevent the area from becoming too wet is to install an under-deck draining system. This affordable home upgrade channels water away from the deck and provides usable space for storage or a functional area below a second-story deck. Not only will this be a useful maintenance upgrade, it can boost your home’s property value.
