"You can stop looking right now. You won't find a more professional, skilled, efficient, focused, hard-working painting team than Ryan and Trudy. They care about their work and it shows. They did out decks this summer and just finished painting most of the interior of our house. We couldn't be more pleased with the results - they did an excellent job (and we're pretty darn picky). Plus, they listen, they follow through, they're meticulous about cleaning up every day, and they're prompt and kind. We already have them booked for two more projects next year."

"Hired this contractor after our original contractor completely failed to perform the restoration of our deck and repainting as hired. Kris came out and quoted the work and then went above and beyond to ensure the work got done on time. When we found more wood replacement than originally expected was necessary he got that handled quickly as well. All around great experience."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

You can use a few different tactics to prevent your deck gate from sagging. Aside from using strong, rot-resistant woods, introducing a diagonal element—such as a tension rod or solid piece of wood to act as a brace—across the gate will offer better support. You can also use rigid joists to prevent the gate from sagging.

Pressure-treated decks last 15 to 20 years on average, but with proper maintenance, you could get 40 to 50 years of value from yours. Reseal your deck every one to two years, and replace old or rotted wood as soon as possible to avoid structural damage. Where you live plays a role in the lifespan of your deck. Intense sunlight, rainfall, wind, and hail can reduce the deck’s lifespan.

When staining a deck, don’t skip surface prep, avoid staining damp or dirty boards, and don’t apply stain in extreme heat, cold, or wet conditions. Never overload the wood with a stain, as too much can cause tackiness or peeling. Also, don’t forget to test a small area first to ensure the color and finish look right.

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.

In most cases, there should be a small gap between the house and the deck, usually no more than ½ to ¾ of an inch. This space allows water and moisture to flow through instead of pooling against the side of your house. It also lets flashing protect your siding from runoff, which is one of the most common issues with decks.
