"I have to say this company has out done themselves. I understand that these projects are costly but they donâ t rip you off and their pricing is very fair. They are honest, the work is amazing, they were flexible with my work schedule, they showed up early and worked in the rain too. My family and I are super happy with our deck!! I will continue to use their services for all of our home projects!!"

"Wow, World Painting does outstanding work.
I had a ton of drywall repairs that needed to be done.
They sent two nice folks out.  They arrived a few minutes early and went straight to work.  They cleaned up after themselves.
The next day the returned, again on time, and sanded the areas they'd fixed out.   They cleaned up after themselves again.
They worked very efficiently and they knew what they were doing.  
I highly recommend World Painting.  Good people, great work, more than reasonable price.

"Cody is a great, young, hard-working man.  He's willing to do anything and he's honest.  It's nice to come home to see a well kept yard after a long week.  
I hope that Cody can get to the other projects we've discussed - right now the rain is falling at such frequent intervals that he's working tons of hours to keep up with that work.

"They were very professional, arrived in timely manner and finished the job in time agreed upon. They patched walls, moved all furniture, and then replaced every thing back to original spot. They were very neat and clean and made sure everything was cleaned up every evening before they left. This is the second job they have done for me and I will be using them again. Kept some of their cards to give to friends and family. Love the new colors that Tabitha helped me pick out.

Deck Repair questions, answered by experts

Deck skirting shouldn’t touch the ground, especially if you have a wood deck, which is vulnerable to moisture. Ideally, you should leave at least 3/4 of an inch of space between the deck skirting and the ground for more ventilation. Pros also recommend that you incorporate about 1 square foot of space for ventilation for the underside of the deck to every 150 square feet of decking. Proper ventilation prevents mold growth and rot that can damage your deck.

When staining a deck, don’t skip surface prep, avoid staining damp or dirty boards, and don’t apply stain in extreme heat, cold, or wet conditions. Never overload the wood with a stain, as too much can cause tackiness or peeling. Also, don’t forget to test a small area first to ensure the color and finish look right.

Yes, it is possible to build a small, basic deck for $5,000, particularly if you use less expensive materials and a simple design. To stay within this budget, consider a size under 10x12 feet and use affordable materials like pressure-treated wood or cedar. While the general cost for deck building ranges from $4,350 to $12,560, with an average around $8,200, some projects can be completed for as little as $4,350. You can also save on labor costs by doing the work yourself, but be aware that mistakes could end up costing more than hiring a professional. A contractor may have a higher upfront cost, but they can ensure a safe, stable deck that will last.

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.

In most cases, there should be a small gap between the house and the deck, usually no more than ½ to ¾ of an inch. This space allows water and moisture to flow through instead of pooling against the side of your house. It also lets flashing protect your siding from runoff, which is one of the most common issues with decks.
