"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

Footings for ground-level decks need to be at least 12 inches deep, and some areas require them to be even deeper. A standard range for deck footings is anywhere from 12 to 48 inches. The minimum footing depth is determined by an area’s frost line and soil conditions. If you’re unsure how deep to install deck footings, check local building codes to find the minimum footing depth in your area. 

If you have wood decking, there are several common deck problems that you might encounter. For example, your natural wood boards may fade over time due to things like sunlight, weather, and debris. On top of that, some types of wood decking can rot, grow mold, and attract destructive pests—including termites, carpenter ants, and woodpeckers.

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.

It is recommended to clean your deck once or twice a year to prevent the accumulation of dirt, debris, mold, and mildew. The ideal times for cleaning are in the spring and fall. A spring cleaning removes grime that has built up over the winter, preparing your deck for summer use. A fall cleaning washes away messes from summer activities, preventing them from setting into the wood over the winter. The exact frequency can depend on factors such as how often the deck is used, its exposure to pollen, and whether salt was used on it during the winter. Regular cleaning helps protect the wood and its finish from damage.

Before installing a deck, you must build a base for the deck to rest upon, often made of compacted soil or gravel. While gravel is an optional material, it helps with drainage. Some contractors also recommend installing a weed control membrane, which helps provide a solid foundation for the frame. In the case of an elevated deck, a pro will often lay down a concrete slab as a foundation.
