Get matched with top deck cleaning pros in Deerwood, MN

Q: How do I know if my deck can support a new railing?

• <div><p>Before installing a new railing, check the condition of the deck frame and joists, especially around the perimeter where posts attach. If boards are loose, soft, or show signs of rot, the structure may need repair. A deck pro can inspect your framing to confirm it meets load-bearing requirements.</p></div>

Q: Which is the most environmentally friendly decking material?

• <div><p>Both aluminum and composite decking materials are environmentally friendly, with aluminum decking coming in as the most eco-friendly option. </p><p>Though <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-composite-decking.htm">composite decking</a> helps remove plastics from landfills, recycles wood, and lasts longer than traditional wood decks, it&rsquo;s not recyclable and only lasts for 25 to 30 years on average. Aluminum can last well over 30 years and is almost always recyclable.</p></div>

Q: Can you build a deck and not attach it to the house?

• <div><p>Yes. Freestanding or floating decks are exactly what the name implies&mdash;structures with their own support beams. You can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-build-a-deck.htm">build a deck yourself</a> and place it next to a house for the illusion of a connected deck without the hassle. Or you can construct it in a separate part of your yard for a dedicated outdoor entertainment space. For the purpose of removing a freestanding deck, the steps are the same as an attached deck, but you don&rsquo;t have to cut the deck away from the home. </p></div>

Q: What type of sander is best for sanding a deck?

• <div><p>A random orbital sander is best for sanding a deck because it is easier to handle than other power sanders and is less likely to damage the wood. Most decks are made of types of softwood, so a gentler sanding process is essential to prevent permanent blemishes. For example, belt sanders can gouge softwoods. </p></div>

Q: Does a deck have to be perfectly level?

• <div><p>A deck doesn&rsquo;t have to be perfectly level. Many pros even recommend a gentle slope to ensure proper drainage and increase longevity. The ideal gentle slope is about 1/8 to 1/4 inch per foot away from the property, leading water away from the home to prevent pooling and reduce the risk of damage. It also minimizes rot, mold, and other moisture-related problems. </p></div>

Mary thoroughly cleaned my window tracks and screens which have not been cleaned in years. They were very sooty and mossy and now they are bright white! Mary was very flexible with her start time and got me in the next day after I contacted her. Efficient communication and very reasonably priced.
