Customers say: Quick response

"Dave & Mark where terrific. They often discussed what they should do to make the changes to our kitchen look like they where always part of the design. Plus kept us in the loop at all times. We kept our existing cabinets, removed an ancient built in oven, replaced the cooktop with a full range, replaced the sink and countertops. The old counter was linoleum over wood, so they had to build up and reinforce the tops for new granite counters. They added molding, which was stained to match the existing wood, and it looks as if it was always there. I can not find enough words to express how great a job they did. You can be assured he will be my first call if/when we start another project. Dave also recommended the electrician & plumber we used. The electrician, Brian Cormier ended up having to upgrade our service and we will use him again if needed. ABH plumbing didnâ t have much to do, but Tony was professional and did a thorough job."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Yes, pressure washing a wood deck can be a good idea as it effectively lifts ingrained dirt, mold, and mildew, improving the deck's appearance and longevity. However, it must be done carefully, as it's easy to damage the wood, especially softwoods. To pressure wash safely, use a lower pressure setting and a wide, 40-degree fan pattern nozzle (often white). Keep the nozzle at least a foot away from the wood surface and maintain constant motion, avoiding hovering in one spot to prevent gouging.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

Wood decks need to be replaced every 10 to 15 years on average. Natural wood is highly vulnerable to infiltration and damage from moisture, which can occur rapidly due to exposure to outdoor elements. You can protect your deck and maximize its lifespan by sealing it every year or two.

You typically don’t need a railing and handrails on a deck that’s less than 30 inches from the ground. However, consider adding them regardless. Railings provide additional safety for you and your guests who use your deck—plus, railings give the deck a more finished look than it would have without them.

A covered deck can be a good investment that increases your home value—especially if you live in a hot region with a lot of sun. A covering over the deck means you can get more use out of it, even on the hottest summer days. With a permanent deck covering, you can even add ceiling fans to help cool down your deck for added comfort.
