"Everything went well. We had chosen a color in advance and the painter Chris even suggested a better color that we actually liked better than what we chose. I was a stickler on clean lines and the painter and supervisor Connor made sure I had clean lines using precise masking. We were very pleased with the result!"

We are a much sought after family owned painting company in Northern Michigan. We have over 30 years experience. We can handle big projects and small throughout the year. We have a big crew! In the summer we have been averaging 20 employees the past 5 years. This winter we were able to keep 18 employees working. Most of our work is residential homes and cottages, but do some commercial projects. We pay attention to detail, keep a clean and tidy work site, and we always do what we say we are going to do and we do it correctly.

"Dan's work was outstanding. He was delayed in completing the project due to unforeseen complications. (The substance with which the logs were originally treated -- "log oil," which is no longer manufactured -- proved more complicated to remove than anticipated. He was extremely fair in billing for this additional work -- only charged me cost for the extra. I will absolutely use Dan again if/when I need to recoat the cottage!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

If you want to use the space beneath your second-story deck, then yes, an under-deck drainage system is worth it. Having a drainage system in place lets you run power to the area, so you can install a ceiling fan, lighting, TV, or other appliances to create a comfortable outdoor living space.

Rotten deck boards can sometimes be repaired, but only if the damage is minor. Repairing small patches of rot involves strengthening the damaged area with wood hardener, filler, or epoxy. More substantial damage requires replacing the boards or rebuilding the entire structure in extreme cases. If the rot extends to the joists, posts, or beams, have a contractor evaluate the damage to ensure it is still structurally sound.

The most likely causes of a deck leaning to one side are damaged deck posts, soil erosion, and inadequate deck footings. If you’re not sure about the exact cause, the best option is to call a contractor who can build a deck to inspect the damage and recommend the best way forward.

Start with a 60- or 80-grit sandpaper when sanding a deck, though this could change depending on the type of wood that comprises the deck and how smooth you want the overall finish. If you prioritize a smooth final finish, progress to a finer grit like 120 or 150. Avoid ultra-fine grits for traditional sanding, as it could close up the wood pores and make it harder to apply a finish down the line.

Minor fixes like patching leaks or repainting are DIY-friendly, but structural repairs require professional expertise.
