"I've used Deck Pro on a regular basis. Jason does a great job. He's very efficient and my plants don't end up splashed with deck stain, always a plus!"
"Dan was prompt and clear with communication. He provided a quick and thorough estimate. He scheduled the work, arrived on time and did an exemplary job repairing our deck."
"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."
"Brandon responded to my email within 12 hours. He was able to power wash our house and deck the next day which was amazing! He and his team did an excellent job power washing the house siding and deck taking extra care to protect our plants, garden, and flowers. They moved all the deck furniture and put it all back when they finished. We were beyond pleased with the results! Our deck is 24 years old and they brought it back to life and looking so clean! The pricing was very reasonable for the amount of work that was done. I would highly recommend Brandon and his team of Defiance Detail and Power Washing!!"

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.
Before installing any materials under the deck for removing moisture, you should perform some prep work on the ground. Work the dirt under the deck to create a grade away from the home. A grade of at least six inches for every 10 feet works well. Do not leave a gap between the dirt and the home’s foundation where water could pool. Once you or a contractor regrades the dirt under the deck, you then can add materials over the top.
Space deck handrail posts four to six feet apart. If the posts are more than six feet apart, the railing will be less able to withstand lateral forces and is more susceptible to breaking. Additionally, railing posts that are more than six feet apart may not be up to code, and you may face fines and be required to reinstall the posts to bring them up to code.
No, you don’t need a permit to repair and replace a few boards on an existing deck. However, if you’re making structural changes to the deck or tearing down the old one and building a new one, you will likely need a permit. Check with your local municipality for the regulations and rules in your area, or ask a local contractor who builds decks for advice.
The best time to paint your deck is when temperatures are neither too cold (below 60 degrees) nor too hot (above 85 degrees). Always paint your deck when there’s no risk of rain. For fast-drying paint like acrylic or latex, ensure your deck can dry for at least four hours. Oil-based paints take longer to dry and may require 48 hours to completely cure.
