"We needed our deck power-washed and stained. The workman called and came the next day. I asked him if he could also power wash the siding. He gave me an estimate for all the work to be done, I agreed (in writing) and he set to work. He did all of the power washing that afternoon. We agreed on a stain color. He returned the next day to do the staining, which required several coats. Mr. McGavin also was there. The deck looks great and the siding is much cleaner. The men were both pleasant and careful about covering the windows and siding. I would use McGavin again."

"First off, plan extra time for rain...it rained a lot during this project.  Obviously, it is impossible to restore/stain a wet deck. 

Earl and his son were fantastic.  I will definitely use his services again.  I had a deck that was an absolute mess...to the point where I thought it might make sense to tear it down and start over.  The top railings had shifted over time and were out place and many of the deck boards had huge cracks and gouges, some to the point where I think I could have gone through them if I jumped up and down.

We contacted Earl through Angie's List to come out for a quote.  He inspected the deck, let us know that the structure was sound, and that we could go many more years before considering tearing it down.  He said he could make it look like new and gave us suggestions regarding the colors that would look best with our siding/entrance to our house.  We decided to go with a darker grey on the floor boards with white on the railings.  The second color added significant painting work to the job and increased the price from $1,600 to $2,000 but was worth it.

I handed Earl a check for the first 50% and he got to the power washing within a couple of days.  There was no break in the rain for the next week, but Earl kept us in the loop regarding where we were in the queue and when we could expect to have the job worked on.  During a 1 day break in the rain he got out to our house and painted the white vertical railings and replaced the top of the railings .  For the next week it rained almost continuously.  On the next dry day Earl and his son came out and replaced many of the floor boards and stained a first coat on the base.  The next dry day, both Earl and his son were back and completed the job.

The deck looks fantastic!!!  From it's original poor condition, I couldn't imagine it would have looked so good when completed.

Earl and his son were extremely professional, hard working, and very personable.  The final product was beyond my expectations and I will definitely give Earl a call next time I need work completed.

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Many people say the best composite decking is Trex, TimberTech, or Fiberon. These brands have formulated composite deck boards to withstand the elements and hold up over time. Each offers a range of product lines varying in durability, price, and appearance. Compare their different composite decking offers for cost, looks, and features before deciding on a product.

You do not have to dig footers for a deck as long as it meets local code and holds up to weather in your area. If you live somewhere that experiences high winds and earthquakes, you may need to dig for your deck posts. Deck blocks, post anchors with base plates, and helical pile systems are the three no-dig deck post options you can choose from if local code permits.

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.

The proper height for a stair riser or deck step is between four and seven inches, with seven inches often considered the most comfortable. Building your stairs to this height ensures a strain-free step position and minimizes the risk of trip and fall injuries. For optimal safety and comfort, especially on deck stairs, a rise of around seven inches should be paired with a tread depth (or run) of at least 10 to 12 inches. While it is possible to design stairs with risers up to 12 inches, this height can be challenging for children, pets, or individuals with mobility issues. Always check with your local building codes, as they may mandate specific dimensions that differ from these general recommendations.

The time to build a vinyl deck varies based on factors like size, the complexity of the design, and weather conditions. Generally, a straightforward project might take a few days to a couple of weeks for preparation, installation, and any necessary inspections. However, larger or more intricate designs may extend the timeline. Timely acquisition of permits, efficient planning, and coordination with contractors will all help to make the construction process as smooth and quick as possible.
