"Brandon arrived on time to estimate both jobs.  He painted the bedroom in November 2012 and finished the work over a couple of days (as he stated in the estimate).  The quality of the work was excellent.  He noticed that the window sills needed some work but required an enamel coating to prevent future water damage.  I appreciated his mention of this so that a new painting job would not be required in a couple of years.  I elected to have this work done at a future time.  I had Brandon come back to evaluate a complete refurbishing of a large downstairs family room.  Over time, the drywall had water damage from condenstation on the HVAC ducting.  I wanted the damaged drywall replaced and duct work moisture wrapped before painting.  Brandon brought in a colleague with drywall experience who priced the job separately from the painting.  All of the drywall work was completed satisfactorily and on time.  Bradon made some paint color suggestions that went well with the intended use of the room.  He did an excellent job with the painting, and completed the work on the time schedule he originally told me and for the agreed upon price.  I have another couple of rooms to remodel in the fall of 2013.  I intend to have Brandon do all the painting work.  He has good ideas for selecting colors, is easy to work with, and does high quality painting.

"The whole project was planned, scheduled, and completed very well.  

Decks Plus owner, Mr. Sira, kept all appointments during the project.  He converted a rough concept into a detailed plan, described what he would do, and did what he promised.  This was accomplished with a simple contract only.

Sira and his team were unobtrusive in their work habits.  They were neat in the arrangement and storage of building materials and tools and they kept the work area tidy and organized.  

Weather intruded only slightly during the work, even though April weather is not exactly predictable.  The project entailed work over several days, encompassing perhaps two weeks from start to finish with weather interruptions.

I rate the price for the job as "good" instead of "excellent" for the simple reason that I had nothing with which to compare.  During my initial consultation with Mr. Sira, I concluded that he was honest, competent, and committed to the quality of his work.  He gave me an estimate, and I accepted it.  I have no regrets about it and an quite pleased with the work and its performance."

"They just did a wonderful job and did it on fairly short notice! I needed my deck painted before the end of the month, which left them 3 weeks in one of their busiest seasons. But they managed to get my project done in less than a week! I am very happy with them and will use them again!"

"I'd highly recommend them. Our roof was put on quickly and they were professional and very reasonable in pricing. We were explained things every step of the way and are very happy with the way it turned out! We've hired them to build a new deck for us next!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Cutting the boards directly is one of the fastest ways to remove deck boards with hidden fasteners. Mark two parallel lines that are one-third of the total measurement on both ends and cut out the centerpiece. Then, remove the end of the board that doesn’t have a fastener. Finally, pry open the fastened side and pull it up to pop out the screw or access the fastener. This also allows you to salvage portions of boards for other projects.

Constant exposure to inclement weather conditions can damage your deck, causing it to fade, warp, or crack over time. Regular maintenance keeps it looking and performing its best. That means giving it a good cleaning and applying a quality sealant or wood treatment to help defend against moisture, sun damage, and everyday wear.

As with patios, there are many types of deck choices to choose from to add personalization to your home. Some common deck options include:

  • Attached decks are anchored to the home and include simple ground-level options or multi-level structures with stairways and separate landings. 

  • Detached island decks are not attached to the home; they’re a freestanding structure in the yard. 

  • Wraparound decks connect the back of the house with at least one other side and often are built with railings for safety. 

  • Multi-level decks connect your deck through varying levels of elevation, featuring landings that are attached to stairs.

It is recommended to clean your deck once or twice a year to prevent the accumulation of dirt, debris, mold, and mildew. The ideal times for cleaning are in the spring and fall. A spring cleaning removes grime that has built up over the winter, preparing your deck for summer use. A fall cleaning washes away messes from summer activities, preventing them from setting into the wood over the winter. The exact frequency can depend on factors such as how often the deck is used, its exposure to pollen, and whether salt was used on it during the winter. Regular cleaning helps protect the wood and its finish from damage.

The proper and most comfortable height for a deck stair riser, also called a step, is between four and seven inches. A height of seven inches is often considered ideal for a strain-free step that minimizes the risk of trips and falls. While it is possible to have risers up to 12 inches, this height can be challenging for children, pets, or individuals with mobility issues. For optimal safety and comfort, pair a seven-inch riser with a tread depth (or run) of at least 10 to 12 inches. Always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements that differ from these general recommendations.
