"Awesome local small business! They were on time, knowledgeable, efficient, great with communication, and my fence looks gorgeous. Price was comparable (slightly less) than other companies I called, and seemed very fair considering the cost of material and hours they put in. Would definitely hire them again and highly recommend to anyone needing a new fence or deck sealed or old wood in need of refreshing."

"The painting was excellent, the guys masked everything really well, took care of not over-painting anything and laid down barriers not to stain the floor. A+ for this portion. The floor was done OK, in retrospect,  I wish I had known more about the work required before the job began.  These folks have done this work in the past however it seemed to me like their core competency was painting and not floor refinishing.  it looks nice however I think it could have looked even better if the experience had been there. The lower marks on responsiveness and punctuality were given because they did not show up exactly at the time convened, also, the job was finished 2 days after the date they had agreed for completion.  Only one man was at the house working for the first couple days until I put more pressure on them to finish. I have the feeling that this company is typically really busy, it took me a while to get in touch with them to quote the job. Once it was quoted, the work began on schedule."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Any wood deck provides some ventilation to the area below, as is the nature of that type of deck design. However, areas that experience excessive humidity and associated moisture benefit greatly from a dedicated ventilation system in the form of strip vents. This addition helps the various wood boards contract and expand evenly throughout the years and reduces the chances of twisting, warping, and buckling.

The best and fastest way to remove paint from a deck often involves combining a chemical stripper with a pressure washer. Gel-based paint strippers are highly recommended because their thick consistency makes them less messy and easier to apply than liquid strippers. After applying the stripper to loosen the paint, you can use a pressure washer to efficiently wash away the residue. When using a pressure washer for this task, it's important to use a low pressure (under 1000 PSI) to avoid forcing too much moisture into the wood, which could lead to mildew or rot.

Both deck footings and deck posts help prop up your deck. However, footings are the bottommost parts of a deck that touch the ground. They’re usually made of concrete. Posts are pieces of wood that attach to the top of the footings with brackets. They run upwards and connect to the underside of your deck to support its weight.

Your deck may look or feel fuzzy after pressure washing because the high-pressure spray tears some wood fibers as it removes the outer layer of dead and discolored wood. This fuzzy effect is a normal part of the pressure-washing process and will go away on its own in a few weeks. You can opt to spot-sand your deck if you’d like to remove it more quickly.

Yes, it’s definitely possible to build a pergola on an existing deck. All you need to do is attach the pergola support beams to the deck’s joists and build up from there. Beware that mistakes can damage your deck, so if you’re at all unsure of the process, play it safe and hire a pro for your custom build.
