"I hired Charlie and son, Tony, of Pinnacle Painting to power wash and re-stain my front deck, paint a door, trims, touch up my shed and they did a great job and are very fairly priced! I was unhappy with the original color they stained the deck with (my fault), and they worked with me to find a stain that we loved and re-stain it all in the same week and at a very fair price. I am very detail oriented, and they did a great job, and touched up areas prior to payment, that I had concerns with. I will hire them again!"

"Cody was knowledgeable about the jobs I needed done and seemed to have no trouble fixing the problems. He cleaned up the gutter and patio roof debris and depostied it at the curb. I was raking leaves during the time and he jumped in and blew the leaves out of my front yard for me.  
I thought  he was professional, polite, and did what he said he was going to do. I also thought his fee for the services was more than fair. I actually paid him more than he asked because I was very happy with his work.
I will hire Cody again in the spring to help with various duties around my house and yard.

"

Wonderful job on both the painting for the development, and the staining of my deck. Probably the best quality painting that we have ever had in our development. From the beginning, the work, work order, estimate process, etc. was handled in a top knotch way. I have had a number of contacts with the company's owner, Colby, and he has shown himself to operate a well run company.He is very businesslike, returns calls promptly, and has people there when he promises.  I also had dealt quite a bit with Josh, who directly supervised the overall process. Josh is very cooperative, understanding, and very helpful. He always came through on his committments, and it made for a very pleasant experience.


The painting crew, led by Arturo, was by far the best group of painters we have used. I got many comments from other homewoners in the development who were very impressed with their work. They are meticulous in what they do, and the final product shows it.

"Carpet restreched for every room in three bedroom ranch home. The project objective was to remove ripples in the carpets which had developed due to initial poor installation - home builder / carpet dealer would not stand behind their installation. This contractor was very honest and professional - project started and completed on time within cost estimates."

"Fernando was very helpful in advising me on what kind of paint to use on the house, and some accent tips on the exterior trim. They completed their work in a very efficient and timely manner, as he said he would. I feel I got the best bang for the bucks I spent. Neighbors complement me all the time on the house and ask me who did the job, I tell them who it was and give Fernando's number to them. The house looks GREAT!!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

The best way to sand a deck is by cleaning it, sanding the boards and stairs with 60- or 80-grit sandpaper, and sanding the railings and posts with 80-grit sandpaper. You should sand in the direction of the wood grain to avoid damaging the timber. When sanding your deck, use medium pressure and aim for an even sand. Pressing too hard with a sander can damage decks, as most are softwoods.

In many areas, a floating deck that isn’t connected to your home and stays under 200 square feet and below 30 inches in height may not need a permit. These freestanding structures are often considered low-risk, which can simplify the building process. However, building codes vary greatly based on location. Before investing in any home improvement project, check with your local permitting office for deck-building guidelines.

A covered deck can be a good investment that increases your home value—especially if you live in a hot region with a lot of sun. A covering over the deck means you can get more use out of it, even on the hottest summer days. With a permanent deck covering, you can even add ceiling fans to help cool down your deck for added comfort.

Before installing a deck, you must build a base for the deck to rest upon, often made of compacted soil or gravel. While gravel is an optional material, it helps with drainage. Some contractors also recommend installing a weed control membrane, which helps provide a solid foundation for the frame. In the case of an elevated deck, a pro will often lay down a concrete slab as a foundation. 

Your deck may look or feel fuzzy after pressure washing because the high-pressure spray tears some wood fibers as it removes the outer layer of dead and discolored wood. This fuzzy effect is a normal part of the pressure-washing process and will go away on its own in a few weeks. You can opt to spot-sand your deck if you’d like to remove it more quickly.
