"I looked out from my back porch on a Friday and the entire back of our yard looked like a skating rink -- and we were due to leave for 3 months on Sunday (in 2 days time). I absolutely panicked as we had non-refundable tickets. I "Googled" sprinkler repair people and called the only one listed in our area -- no reply, left message, no one EVER returned the call. I contacted HomeAdvisor on-line, typed in the problem and Scott's Landscaping guy called me an hour later and came 30 minutes after that -- 2 guys and were they great! They located the main sprinkler on/off valves (there were 2 valves that the previous "sprinkler" guy had left ON, turned it off -- which stopped the leak after they located where it was coming from. It was 8 degrees that day, but they managed to dig down and repair the pipe. They will come back in the spring to see if they can get my sprinkler system going again as it hasn't been used in about 6 years! They were great and very, very reasonable. I will use them again, definitely."

"Excellent customer service! They came out and pressure washed my house, two decks, shed, and my side walk and were the only ones who gave me the best price for all of this. And on the bright side, it only took them a couple of hours! Now I no longer have to worry about slipping and sliding around when it rains! They even answered all of my questions!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

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 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. 

If you have wood decking, there are several common deck problems that you might encounter. For example, your natural wood boards may fade over time due to things like sunlight, weather, and debris. On top of that, some types of wood decking can rot, grow mold, and attract destructive pests—including termites, carpenter ants, and woodpeckers.

With proper installation and maintenance, a vinyl deck can last up to 30 years. Factors like regular cleaning, minimal wear and tear, proper installation, and the use of higher-grade materials can extend its durability. However, extreme weather conditions or neglecting maintenance might shorten its lifespan. Adhering to manufacturer recommendations for care and occasional inspections can significantly prolong a vinyl deck's longevity.

Pressure-treated decking may be worth it if you want a natural, insect- and rot-resistant decking material that will last for decades with proper maintenance. As such, it’s a much better option than untreated pine. Alternative wood decking materials like cedar and redwood tend to be less durable and more expensive. Some homeowners prefer composite decking, which is a low-maintenance alternative to wood but is also more costly.
