"Marcus and his employees did a fantastic job on our house.  He totally prepped the house by scraping away old paint and rotted wood, power washing the exterior and removing broken windows and boards.  He worked with temperatures in the high 90's and finished in the time period he specified.  We contacted him from overseas and he made all arrangements with us in a prompt and professional manner.  I was 100% confident that he would produce a quality product and I was certainly not disappointed.  The house looks absolutely beautiful and crisp, well painted.  I am sure the house will look great for years to come.  Marcus also assured me that he used a top grade paint that will have longevity in all weather conditions for years to come.  I would highly recommend him to others and would use him again for future work.  He was friendly, professional, courteous and dependable.  It was exactly the type of service we expected from someone who could give us quality work from thousands of miles away!  TOP NOTCH!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Yes. Freestanding or floating decks are exactly what the name implies—structures with their own support beams. You can build a deck yourself and place it next to a house for the illusion of a connected deck without the hassle. Or you can construct it in a separate part of your yard for a dedicated outdoor entertainment space. For the purpose of removing a freestanding deck, the steps are the same as an attached deck, but you don’t have to cut the deck away from the home.

If you want to make a deck cleaner from products already in your home, there are various options. The most common is to use a gentle blend of 1 gallon of warm water and 2 tablespoons of ammonia-free dish soap. You can also mix water with distilled vinegar. Sprinkling on some baking soda can help to remove mold and mildew. You can add oxygen bleach (but never damaging chlorine bleach) to the water and ammonia-free dish soap solution for something a bit stronger. 

There are several methods for attaching stair stringers to a deck. The best way is to bolt the stringers to the deck joists using three carriage bolts in a triangular pattern. This method offers the sturdiest fit for stairs that won’t budge. Alternatively, attach the stringers to the deck rims using lag bolts or to the posts using adjustable slope hangers.

Unless you’re using a 2-in-1 formula or painting over an existing coat of paint, it pays to apply a coat of primer ahead of your new paint. Decks see a lot of footfall and exposure to extreme and sudden temperature changes and moisture levels. The primer promotes better paint adhesion, moisture repellency, and a smoother finish, which means you’ll often need fewer coats of paint. 

The cost to build a second-story deck averages $4,800, though the actual price could range as low as $420 to upwards of $16,000. While labor costs range between 35% and 50% of the total project cost, the materials and complexity of design will ultimately lead you to save or spend more money on this home addition.
