"I had Tarra and Doug come out and tear down fence I had that was in bad shape and needed replacing, I have 3 dogs that try and get out fence and dig. After speaking to them I decided to put a concrete ledge at bottom of fence to help with the digging of the dogs and it has help no problems of dogs getting out of yard. After fence was completed I ask if they would build me a walkway in the back area and it was completed and I love it. They are very professional clean up area everyday before they leave and employees seem very happy and professional. I’m very happy with all the work I have had done and will use them again and I recommend them for all services. I may have them put in a deck for the pool I maybe getting. Love links and logs all will use again. They take pride in the work they do and said if I have any problems with fence call them and they will fix it."

Deck Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Typically, most residential wooden decks are designed to support approximately 40 pounds per square foot, including the deck’s weight and any items placed on it. While this is fine for typical use, it is usually not enough to hold the weight of a hot tub filled with water and people. To safely support a hot tub, your wood deck will likely require reinforcement. Therefore, it’s best to have a contractor or a structural engineer assess it before hot tub installation.

Cold temperatures can make your deck boards contract. If they don’t contract evenly, they can put pressure on the deck screws and cause them to pop out, making a noticeable sound. Winterizing your deck can help prevent this from happening.

A random orbital sander is best for sanding a deck because it is easier to handle than other power sanders and is less likely to damage the wood. Most decks are made of types of softwood, so a gentler sanding process is essential to prevent permanent blemishes. For example, belt sanders can gouge softwoods.

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. 

When staining a deck, don’t skip surface prep, avoid staining damp or dirty boards, and don’t apply stain in extreme heat, cold, or wet conditions. Never overload the wood with a stain, as too much can cause tackiness or peeling. Also, don’t forget to test a small area first to ensure the color and finish look right.
