"We had our chimney tuck pointed and a roof put on the house. The old roof wasn’t torn down this it wasn’t in real bad shape and there was only one layer on. The work was all done in one day and everything was cleaned up when they left."

"Mike Jentel did an outstanding job of repairing and painting our kitchen ceiling that had received water damage from water leaking from the upstairs bathroom. He used plastic sheets to protect the kitchen area and did an excellent clean up job. He drove to the paint shop to get the exact color paint needed. This was fine service for a very reasonable cost."

"I have a deck that I neglected to maintain properly. I knew it needed repair, and I was putting it off and putting it off for more time than I'd like to admit to people who know me. I hooked up with Deck Fence and House through HomeAdvisor, as they were local and well-reviewed. They were able to come to my house the next day to review the job: repair of rotting steps and supports, power washing, and staining. We agreed on a fair price and they started work the next day. The job was probably more than Deck Fence and House initially envisioned, as the rot was severe in places, and involved a significant amount of cutting and fitting of new supports, baseboards, and steps. As a previous reviewer wrote, they did good work, took the time to get it right, and kept the original price. The crew was able to remove the damage and power wash and stain in about two days, in 90+ degree heat. Although I didn't expect it (and, quite frankly, forgot to ask for), they hauled the old rotted wood away, saving me the trouble of disposing it myself. I highly recommend Deck Fence and House. The crew was friendly and personable, they took precautions to protect my house and vegetation from any stray stain applied, they showed up on time, did the work as requested, charged a fair price, and cleaned the site. Isn't this how it should be all the time? ;)"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Most building codes list a minimum width of 36 inches and a maximum height of 7¾ inches. However, for the most comfort and spaciousness, you’ll want to aim for a width of at least 48 inches and a height of 7 inches. Again, it’s always a good idea to base your numbers off steps that you already use comfortably.

Building a deck is often worth the investment, not only because it provides more utility to your yard and gives you more space to entertain but also because decks tend to add value to your home. Keep in mind that second-story decks often require concrete footings, which means they will bump up your property taxes, while decks built on the first story generally don’t require a permanent foundation and won’t affect your taxes. Even with the tax increase, decks are usually a good investment in the long run.

A random orbital sander is best for sanding a deck because it is easier to handle than other power sanders and is less likely to damage the wood. Most decks are made of types of softwood, so a gentler sanding process is essential to prevent permanent blemishes. For example, belt sanders can gouge softwoods.

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.

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.
