"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

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.

The best way to clean your decking is to clear debris from the gaps between the boards, sweep the surface, rinse it, apply cleaner, rinse again, and let it dry fully. A homemade deck cleaner made of two gallons of warm water and 1/2 cup vinegar is a simple cleaning solution for both wood and composite decking. You can sprinkle baking soda on any spots with mold or mildew, then scrub the area and rinse clean. 

Building codes for deck railings can vary by location, so it's important to consult your local regulations before construction. Generally, a guardrail is required for any deck that is more than 30 inches above the ground.

For residential properties, the standard minimum height for a deck railing is 36 inches. However, some states and municipalities have stricter requirements; for example, California and Washington mandate railings that are at least 42 inches high. Therefore, a 42-inch railing is not considered too high and may be required in your area or chosen voluntarily for additional safety.

In addition to height requirements, codes also specify other safety features, such as the maximum spacing between balusters to ensure they are close enough to prevent a child from squeezing through.

DIY staining or painting is manageable with proper preparation, including safety measures, necessary tools, and adherence to safe weather conditions for application.

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.
