"Ed is a very friendly and professional. He did an excellent job power washing and staining our deck and gave us a great price. We had quite a few heavy items that needed to be moved off our deck before he could start. My husband and I are not physically able to do this. Ed removed them and when he was finished with the job he put everything back exactly where it was. I would highly recommend Ed to anyone who wants their tired old deck looking new again."

"They did an excellent job. I wasn't sure my deck and fence could be saved since it had been a while since I had done anything to them. But, with a lot of hard work and care, everything looks fabulous now. Dale leans toward perfectionism. He and his helper took a lot of time and care to make sure everything was done right and the customer is pleased. He explained to us that the stain penetrates into the wood and hydrates it so it retards cracking. And there is a warranty for both the deck and the fence. I highly recommend Desk Rescue."

"Very well. The two workers arrived on time and provided work of high quality. I tried to schedule this service for April and phoned in March. However, spring rain prevented the April work. Because of this the deck furniture and flower pots were in place--the workmen removed these items and one returned, after the paint was dry, to move these items back to the deck. Outstanding service! I have this company back every two years for this deck work; the service and work quality are always outstanding."

"Marcos from Lara painting was recommended from a few former neighbors and I have used his company multiple times. He is very responsive, punctual, works efficiently, and cares very much about the quality of his work and ensuring his customers are happy. For my most recent jobs, he painted the ceiling under my deck and stained the wood under the stairs of my composite deck. The stain color he selected was a perfect match and I couldn't be happier. He also painted a chalkboard accent wall in my daughter's room. I would highly recommend Lara painting and will use them for my future painting needs."

"Mikes carpenters showed up as scheduled and got to work on the deck, pergola and some trim work that had to be replaced. The deck required alot of measuring and cutting to get the look we wanted. They did a wonderful and efficient job. They cleaned up every evening when they were finished and other than the equipment needed to do the job, they were very quiet workers . The next crew did the pavers. They had a hard job ahead of them because there was no way to get the tonnage of dirt ,rock for filler, pavers and wall material close to the job site. It was unloaded as close as possible and the guys had to wheel barrel one load at a time. They also had a very tough time because of the pavers I chose. The pavers were not perfectly smooth and required alot of time and patience getting them level so you wouldn't stub you toes walking across them. Another detail handled by a professional company that you wouldn't notice unless it had been done incorrectly. Again, Mike and employees go the extra steps to ensure the job is done correctly. We are acceptionally pleased, would highly reccomend EARTHWOOD ARTS, and will call on Mike Van de Bossche in the future."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Staining and sealing the underside of a deck creates a moisture barrier but traps water in the boards, quickly leading to rot. No matter how well you seal the above deck, water still gets through via nails and screw heads on the surface. Allow this water to flow naturally under the deck, where it is routed through the drainage system.

Before installing a deck, you must build a base for the deck to rest upon, often made of compacted soil or gravel. While gravel is an optional material, it helps with drainage. Some contractors also recommend installing a weed control membrane, which helps provide a solid foundation for the frame. In the case of an elevated deck, a pro will often lay down a concrete slab as a foundation. 

It is possible to pressure wash your deck, but it’s usually best to leave the work to a professional for two main reasons. First, power washers are expensive, and you can avoid high upfront costs by hiring a deck washing pro instead. Second, you must be careful to use the correct setting to avoid damaging your deck material. You can only clean soft woods like pine with a wide spray and a low pressure; otherwise, the water will leave unpleasant marks on your deck. Hard woods, composite material, and metal can stand up to increasingly higher water pressures.

The best material for your deck depends on several factors, including your budget, location, aesthetic preferences, and the level of maintenance you’re willing to do. Wood decking, like redwood, ipe, cedar, and pine, lasts the longest, but it’s more expensive and requires more upkeep than composite and synthetic decking.

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.
