"I am very pleased with SKM maintenance who showed me what they were made of when things got tight. Professionalism, Proficiency and Efficiency. I knew I had a tight deadline to meet. My deck was scheduled for staining at the end of the week but had structural damage that needed repair. From the moment I spoke to Linda the office manager, I was hopeful as she set the tone of the company and pleasantly gave me a brief outline of the process of getting an estimation. Within a day, Doug, one of the owners, was at my home evaluating the deck. I was impressed when he pointed out a few areas that needed to be corrected (that I didn’t recognize) and offered some solid suggestions. Furthermore, when I mentioned “the deadline “he didn’t flinch and stated they had an ample workforce…. Hmm. Once he left, I had a detailed written estimate with a very reasonable price!! But then life hits…. The next day scheduled for the repair to begin, it rained. Unfortunately, the day after that the repair person had a family emergency and couldn’t come. That’s when the calls started coming from Linda and Doug and arrangements were being made and within an hour another person was coming out to do the repair. Although it was cloudy … Paul showed up and said let’s see what happens…. He made his assessment, discussed the plan with me, went and picked up the material and within a couple of hours my deck was brand new!!! SKM Maintenance proved to be such an exemplary service provider, offering an experience that left me completely satisfied. Their ability to manage unforeseen obstacles reflected their commitment to client care, and their attention to detail transformed my deck into a space that feels brand new. The skills and professionalism shown by all the staff of SKM were impressive, such that I have already initiated a second project Thank you SKM!!"

"They did a really good job and they stand behind their work. The prices are competitive and they take pride in their work. I had a really old front door that was not insulated and they put in a new one with plenty of insulation. They also put in a new storm door and a garage side door that meant making a new doorway that's sealed properly. They answered all my questions and were respectful of the property"

"Levon Yaldo did an excellent job patching damaged wall board and then sanding it. He was meticulous about his work as well as the cleanup after completion of patching. Cost of work was reasonable. I would highly recommend him for future projects."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Deck stairs should have at least three stringers rather than two. The recommended minimum width for stairs is 36 inches, and the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors recommends at least three cut stringers to provide sufficient support on wood decking stairs of this width. Generally, stringers should be a maximum of 16 inches apart for wood decking and 12 inches apart for more flexible composite decking.

Cutting the boards directly is one of the fastest ways to remove deck boards with hidden fasteners. Mark two parallel lines that are one-third of the total measurement on both ends and cut out the centerpiece. Then, remove the end of the board that doesn’t have a fastener. Finally, pry open the fastened side and pull it up to pop out the screw or access the fastener. This also allows you to salvage portions of boards for other projects.

Both a well-constructed deck and a patio can add value to your home. Patios are generally cheaper to build but don’t offer the same aesthetics as a quality deck. Therefore, decks can be more appealing to buyers than patios, increasing a home's resale value.

Yes, you can build a deck over your outdoor HVAC unit, but you need to leave at least 5 feet of vertical clearance above the unit. If you don’t want your deck to be that high off the ground, you could build a floating deck in another part of your yard—again, as long as you leave at least 4 feet of horizontal space between the deck and your AC unit.

Two coats of stain are ideal for the best protection and aesthetic appeal. However, if your decking is made of particularly dense hardwood, you may only need one coat. If you want an intense color, two coats are ideal.
