"I recommend Marcos Lara and his crew wholeheartedly. You won't be disappointed. Marcos especially stands out on communication and honesty. 
I appreciated the frequent updates on scheduling and progress. He made some suggestions on paint scheme that resulted in a much better outcome. And the quality of the work was very good, ultimately.
Minor complaints: I gave him a B on professionalism for three reasons:  1) I expect a painting crew to clean up at the end of every day instead of only at the end of the job. We lived for weeks with paint chips and old caulk littering our driveway, walkway, decks, and landscaping. I mentioned this to Marcos at the end of the job and he thanked me for the feedback. I have no doubt that if I had raised the complaint earlier in the project he would have taken care of it.  2) They did not clean up most of their paint splatters and overspray until I pointed it out. I expect painters to clean these things up before I point them out. Most of them anyway.  3) Several areas needed one more coat for full coverage. I had to point these areas out. I expect the painter to notice these things first, and let me know if the job requires more work than originally agreed upon.
ALL my complaints were addressed quickly and to my satisfaction. Marcos is very customer-oriented. If you make your expectations clear, he will meet them. Marcos is a good listener and is learning fast how to grow a successful business. I imagine if I hired Marcos in a year from now, he will have learned so much more about what customers expect that none of these things would be an issue.

Deck Cleaning questions, answered by experts

In most cases, there should be a small gap between the house and the deck, usually no more than ½ to ¾ of an inch. This space allows water and moisture to flow through instead of pooling against the side of your house. It also lets flashing protect your siding from runoff, which is one of the most common issues with decks.

Most building codes require that spindles or balusters on deck and stair railings be spaced no more than four inches apart. This safety standard, often called the '4-inch sphere rule,' is designed to prevent small children or pets from slipping through the railing. A good way to visualize this is that a 4-inch sphere should not be able to pass between two spindles. For the same safety reason, the space between the bottom rail and the deck floor should also be no more than four inches. As a general guideline, professionals often install three balusters per foot of railing. However, since specific requirements can vary by location, it is crucial to check your local building codes to ensure compliance before starting your project.

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.

In general, you need a footing at each corner of your deck, and within 8 feet of each other. So, how many you need depends on the size and shape of your deck, plus any local building codes. It also depends on factors like the load capacity of your soil and the weight of your deck. You can find a footing calculator online or contact a pro for support.

Composite decking requires a solid foundation or substructure for support. This base is typically a frame composed of posts, beams, joists, and footings. The frame can be built from various materials, such as composite, plastic, timber, or metal, depending on your budget, deck type, and environmental conditions. For maximum stability, a professional deck builder may recommend installing this frame on top of a solid concrete base. It is best to discuss the most suitable substructure design and materials for your specific project with a professional.
