"Our well-worn over 25 year old deck was still structurally sound. Anthony took a look at it and gave us a very reasonable estimate for the work we wanted done. We booked the project and it was started that week. We are 100%+ happy with the job Anthony did! The deck looks great! Anthony is a hard worker with attention to detail. Always reachable for our questions and alway came when he said he would. A pleasure to deal with. Would highly recommend! Chris and Ed G."

"I was contacted in a timely manner and Mr. Aponte made an appointment to look at the job and give me an estimate. He was prompt and professional. We agreed upon a price and Mr. Aponte completed the work in a reasonable amount of time and at the quoted price. The work was done in the manner described to me and the finished product was what I expected it to look like. My porch railings and new column were strong, square, and level. I would highly recommend Aponte Contracting. S. Otero"

"East Coast Painting and renovations is a professional company. I would recommend anyone who wants to get their home painted to hire this company. The prices were very fair and I felt the service was exceptional for the price. They came three or four times to check and see if my shingles were dry enough to paint. Most other companies would throw the paint on only to have it bubble up after after a year or so. They did an exceptional job. They covered up all my plants and garden so as not to get any paint on anything. They replaced all the bad wood on the corners of my house as I asked. Brandon returned my texts and calls , always informed me of what they were doing and when they would show up. They always showed up on time. I am very happy with the whole process. I will use them again. I highly recommend this company. 5/29/21"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

If you want to make a deck cleaner from products already in your home, there are various options. The most common is to use a gentle blend of 1 gallon of warm water and 2 tablespoons of ammonia-free dish soap. You can also mix water with distilled vinegar. Sprinkling on some baking soda can help to remove mold and mildew. You can add oxygen bleach (but never damaging chlorine bleach) to the water and ammonia-free dish soap solution for something a bit stronger. 

Be careful when choosing a product to help you remove ice from your wood deck. Never use sand, gravel, or salt, since these items can damage and scratch the wood. Instead, look for chemical de-icers that are marked as safe for wood decks or use hot water to melt snow and ice.

It is possible to build your own deck, but it’s typically better to leave the work to a decking professional. Decks can be exceptionally complicated, especially if you want a wrap-around or second-story deck, and you don’t want to risk making an expensive or dangerous mistake. It’s usually better to hire a decking pro who can pull permits and build a structurally sound deck that will last for decades and provide the maximum return on investment.

You can add a roof to most decks, but you need to have it inspected first. If your deck didn’t come with a roof initially, it may not be able to handle the weight without some structural changes. You can add additional supports to your existing deck to safely add a roof, and tying your deck’s roof to an exterior wall can help add some structural stability, but remember these aren’t DIY projects and need to be left to a pro. 

Ultimately, overapplication of stain can compromise the deck's appearance, durability, and longevity. It may result in an uneven finish, with excess stain pooling, dripping, or drying into thick patches. It can also obscure the wood's natural grain and texture, detracting from the desired aesthetic. Moreover, excessive staining may not fully penetrate the wood, leading to poor adhesion and premature wear. Additionally, thick layers of stain are prone to peeling, cracking, and blistering as they struggle to bond with the surface.
