"Jared is very professional and trustworthy. I arranged for a whole house power wash by telephone from 200 miles away and came home a couple days later with beautiful clean concrete, decking and exterior brick and siding. I wholeheartedly endorse Jared and recommend that you hire his business for your power washing needs."

"I contacted World Painting after CertaPro dropped out of sight.  We quickly got an appointment with them and they were ready to give us a bid that day.  The price was reasonable and it included power washing, caulking, and painting our porch floor along with the entire house.
They were able to start within the week and kept us updated through out the project, letting us know what was the next step and when it would be completed.  Customer service was excellent.  When I had a question they called me back within the hour. 
They did an amazing job and we have gotten tons of compliments on it.  We would definitely use them again.

"From our first conversation, I felt comfortable and HEARD. After dealing with some...shall we say unscrupulous contractors, I will admit I was on edge and wary. However, they were honest with me from the beginning. The cost, what would be done, and timeline were exact! They pointed out issues that could become problematic in the future, but did not try and 'bid' for another job. They showed my husband and I what we needed to work on, and what supplies we would need if we decided to do it ourselfes. They even did little things that we hadn't expected for no additional cost. I WILL keep them on speed dial for issues that will of course always appear in an older home over time. Most importantly, our home looks amazing! To stroke my own ego, their work showed how good my taste is. ;) Our home suits us now and my husband and I smile every time we drive up."

Deck Maintenance FAQs, answered by experts

It is recommended to clean your deck once or twice a year to prevent the accumulation of dirt, debris, mold, and mildew. The ideal times for cleaning are in the spring and fall. A spring cleaning removes grime that has built up over the winter, preparing your deck for summer use. A fall cleaning washes away messes from summer activities, preventing them from setting into the wood over the winter. The exact frequency can depend on factors such as how often the deck is used, its exposure to pollen, and whether salt was used on it during the winter. Regular cleaning helps protect the wood and its finish from damage.

Homeowners should build their floating decks at least 18 inches off the ground. Having it at this height will allow for better airflow underneath and help prevent moisture-related problems like warping or rot. That being said, local guidelines for deck heights may vary depending on where you live.

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.

In the majority of cases, you don’t need regulatory permission or permits to remove decking components and materials. However, the exception is if you live in or near a wildlife conservation area, which could require permits and consent prior to beginning the demolition. Check with a local regulatory agency for more information.

It’s important to make sure the wood on a new deck is properly seasoned. Seasoning a deck is simple: Once you build it (or have a pro do so), just leave it alone so it can acclimate to the environment. If you don’t give the deck proper seasoning time before staining, the stain can lock in any lingering moisture and cause mold, rot, and other moisture issues down the road. Give the wood at least four to eight weeks to season before you stain.
