"great work! flexible hours, but got my job done in the expected 3 days and the process was seamless. i needed my plaster ceiling ripped down and replaced with drywall to repair some water damage. he found the source of the water and rerouted the issue to a drain so it wouldn't happen again. he went above and beyond for this job he went and picked up my paint color and cleaned up after himself and even fixed my broken door without me asking and didnt increase the price. Will definitely hire again"

"I had a fantastic experience working with Memo! The team did an outstanding job getting my 1st floor unit move-in ready, everything was completed on time, with great attention to detail. From the fresh paint and repairs to the spotless finish, the space looked better than I imagined. They also tackled my basement rec room, which was in need of serious cleaning, and transformed it into a clean, usable space. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality contracting services. Will definitely be using them again!"

Deck Repair questions, answered by experts

Pressure-treated decks last 15 to 20 years on average, but with proper maintenance, you could get 40 to 50 years of value from yours. Reseal your deck every one to two years, and replace old or rotted wood as soon as possible to avoid structural damage. Where you live plays a role in the lifespan of your deck. Intense sunlight, rainfall, wind, and hail can reduce the deck’s lifespan.

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.

Composite decking requires a solid foundation or substructure for support. This base is typically a frame composed of posts, beams, joists, and footings. The frame can be built from various materials, such as composite, plastic, timber, or metal, depending on your budget, deck type, and environmental conditions. For maximum stability, a professional deck builder may recommend installing this frame on top of a solid concrete base. It is best to discuss the most suitable substructure design and materials for your specific project with a professional.

Constant exposure to inclement weather conditions can damage your deck, causing it to fade, warp, or crack over time. Regular maintenance keeps it looking and performing its best. That means giving it a good cleaning and applying a quality sealant or wood treatment to help defend against moisture, sun damage, and everyday wear.

Deck stairs should have at least three stringers rather than two. The recommended minimum width for stairs is 36 inches, and the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors recommends at least three cut stringers to provide sufficient support on wood decking stairs of this width. Generally, stringers should be a maximum of 16 inches apart for wood decking and 12 inches apart for more flexible composite decking.
