"I had an excellent experience working with Mr. Garcia who completed tuckpointing and fixed some siding for me. From the start, their professionalism was evident. They kept me well-informed throughout the entire project, ensuring I understood each step of the process. Their attention to detail and craftsmanship were impressive, resulting in a job well done. The tuckpointing work was expertly executed, restoring the beauty and integrity of my homeâ s brickwork. Additionally, the siding repairs were seamlessly integrated, leaving my exterior looking flawless. I highly recommend this contractor for their reliability, communication, and outstanding workmanship. Itâ s reassuring to know there are professionals like them who take pride in their work and deliver exceptional results."

"Boris stopped by my house the same day I listed with Home Advisor and gave me a very reasonable estimate on refinishing my deck. He did all the work himself and the result was excellent. Highly recommended."

"The handyman, Paul, was punctual, professional and did quality work. He replaced the small section of my wood soffit that had water damage with new wood, painted it and caulked. He cleaned up the area when he was done. Paul also re-secured several of my window shutters that had loose screws. He spray painted the screw caps to match the color of my shutters."

"Francisco and Judy are wonderful. Both truly show that family run businesses are still the best out there. They gave us the best price and they provided us with the highest quality job. They gave excellent suggestions if we were stumped as to what to do. The fence staining job was done on time and looks great! Highly recommend Kiko's painting."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

That depends on the condition of your deck. An older deck that looks drab, worn, or has multiple damaged boards might be worth replacing before selling. However, if your deck is in good condition, you can simply clean, repaint, or stain it.

Two coats of stain are ideal for the best protection and aesthetic appeal. However, if your decking is made of particularly dense hardwood, you may only need one coat. If you want an intense color, two coats are ideal.

A quality, well-maintained PVC decking can last 30 to 50 years. It’s known for being one of the most durable types of decking materials, with composite decking having a 25- to 30-year average lifespan and some softwood deckings only lasting 10 to 15 years. Luxury hardwood decks like Ipe may last longer than PVC decking, but they can cost more and require more maintenance.

A wood deck requires annual cleaning and regular inspections for loose or broken boards, nails, and screws. It should be refinished by applying a stain or sealer every two to three years to protect the wood from water damage, rot, mildew, and sun fading. The exact frequency can depend on the climate and the deck's exposure to sun and moisture. If your deck is painted, it will need repainting approximately every 10 years. Signs that your deck needs refinishing include faded, splintering, or warping boards.

Yes, an elevated deck can increase a home's resale value. Homeowners can expect a 65% return on investment from the cost of a second-story deck installation. For example, if you spend $5,000 to install a second-story deck, that deck will add $3,250 to the value of your home.
