"After submitting a request about my project, Terry reached out to me immediately. I was looking for help with my very small useless front yard after I attempted my own design that ended up in a big mess. He came by and looked at the area and was in contact with me while brainstorming some ideas on how he could transform my small area into something that would be low to no maintenance. The crew surpassed expectations. They created more than only curbing for me, they created a complete design and I haven't even put my finishing touches on it and my neighbor's are admiring the work. Contacting Terry was simple and he was honest and easy to work with. He went above and beyond and answered all of my questions. Whether you are looking for someone to help with a large project or a small one, you should give him a call. I was concerned my project would be too small and possibly not worth his time but he made me feel like I was just as important as any other job he had going on. The quality of the work speaks for itself. I highly recommend Curb Appeal for enhacing your outdoor spaces!"

"The work I got for the value was great. Other contractors wanted to charge $750 or more for this small repair I needed. These guys only charge what they think is fair for the amount and type of labor they do. I paid less than half what everyone else was going to charge me. I highly recommend them to anyone."

"They worked very hard and went above and beyond to please us. All of the algae came off with very little chemical. We were a little concerned at the amount of gravel that came off the roof. Most likely our fault for not expecting any."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

In most cases, sanding an old deck before staining it is necessary to achieve a decent finish. If your old deck has a relatively new stain finish on it and you're only doing touch-ups, you can generally skip the sanding part. However, if your goal is to make the deck look and function better, sanding first is a must. 

Building a deck is often worth the investment, not only because it provides more utility to your yard and gives you more space to entertain but also because decks tend to add value to your home. Keep in mind that second-story decks often require concrete footings, which means they will bump up your property taxes, while decks built on the first story generally don’t require a permanent foundation and won’t affect your taxes. Even with the tax increase, decks are usually a good investment in the long run.

Deck skirting shouldn’t touch the ground, especially if you have a wood deck, which is vulnerable to moisture. Ideally, you should leave at least 3/4 of an inch of space between the deck skirting and the ground for more ventilation. Pros also recommend that you incorporate about 1 square foot of space for ventilation for the underside of the deck to every 150 square feet of decking. Proper ventilation prevents mold growth and rot that can damage your deck.

Local building codes don’t specify the number of steps a deck can have before a railing is required, mainly because stair height varies widely. Most areas require decks 30 inches or higher to have a railing. While not exact, that roughly equates to four to seven steps.

The best and fastest way to remove paint from a deck often involves combining a chemical stripper with a pressure washer. Gel-based paint strippers are highly recommended because their thick consistency makes them less messy and easier to apply than liquid strippers. After applying the stripper to loosen the paint, you can use a pressure washer to efficiently wash away the residue. When using a pressure washer for this task, it's important to use a low pressure (under 1000 PSI) to avoid forcing too much moisture into the wood, which could lead to mildew or rot.
