"HomeCare Maintenance powerwashed my deck, pergola, chimney, lattice, and the back of my house. Peter replaced 3 deck boards that were weak. He cut back the overgrowth around the lattice, stained the deck and sealed the chimney. I will be using HomeCare Maintenace again."

"Jerry and Amanda did an amazing job bringing life back into our deck. We honestly thought it was time to bite the bullet and rebuild it. So glad we chose to give renew a try. Took our old moldy dull deck and gave it a great new look and another ten years."

"Joshua was over-the-top from the first phone call! Very professional, knowledgeable, customer-oriented, and amazingly enthusiastic about our project (which involved a leaking roof, damaged ceiling, damaged flooring, poor water pressure, the list goes on and on!). As young, unexperienced rental owners living 3 hours away, we could've easily been taken advantage of. Instead, we found an intuitive contractor who quite simply blew our highest expectations out of the water!! He quoted a ridiculously reasonable price and stuck with that price, even when the job involved more than expected. I am limited by length...HIRE SUPERIOR SERVICE USA!!!"

"Eric and his crew did truly exceptional work and built a 20x20 outbuilding for us. Eric was very reliable and came on time and completed the work as expected. He returned texts and phone calls promptly. He contracted the whole project and his concrete, electrical and HVAC people were all top notch and there were no delays - everything went smooth! We are very pleased with our building and highly recommend Mid west Dirtworks for any project."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Ideally, a gate should be able to swing both in and out. However, if it can only open in one direction, it is generally best for it to swing inward. This is often the safest option, especially for deck gates near steps, as you'll want the gate to swing away from the stairs. An inward swing also prevents the gate from opening into a public space, like a sidewalk, and can be more convenient when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

There are exceptions, however. The layout of your property may require a different approach. For example, if your property is on a slope, the gate may not be able to swing inward. You should also ensure the gate can open fully without colliding with any objects or blocking access to other areas. For a backyard garden gate where public access isn't a concern, the direction it swings is largely a matter of personal preference. Finally, always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements for which way a gate must swing.

Ultimately, overapplication of stain can compromise the deck's appearance, durability, and longevity. It may result in an uneven finish, with excess stain pooling, dripping, or drying into thick patches. It can also obscure the wood's natural grain and texture, detracting from the desired aesthetic. Moreover, excessive staining may not fully penetrate the wood, leading to poor adhesion and premature wear. Additionally, thick layers of stain are prone to peeling, cracking, and blistering as they struggle to bond with the surface. 

Composite decking requires a solid foundation or substructure for support. This base is typically a frame composed of posts, beams, joists, and footings. The frame can be built from various materials, such as composite, plastic, timber, or metal, depending on your budget, deck type, and environmental conditions. For maximum stability, a professional deck builder may recommend installing this frame on top of a solid concrete base. It is best to discuss the most suitable substructure design and materials for your specific project with a professional.

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.

Spindles on a deck may also be called balusters or pickets. While not as important to the structural support of the deck as the rail posts, they play a critical role in ensuring the deck is safe to use by closing in large gaps in the railing. For this reason, balusters must be no more than 4 inches away from one another.
