"Mr. Perine did an excellent job restoring my deck. He took time to address all my concerns regarding both the work to be done at the time and future maintenance. The work was well planned and accomplished in a timely manner. Each day all debris was removed, and I was informed as to when he would return. Both, the customer service and work performed, exceeded my expectations."

"I did receive a couple bids from Home Advisors network and decided on Midwest due to the owner (Joe) stating that all my needs would be addressed which was to power wash all concrete and paver surfaces including retaining walls. He guaranteed that his price included all that I asked for with "no surprises" and I have that via email. I also was seeking a company that would be able to seal my pavers upon completion. Joe was confident that he could do all the work. What I discovered is that he had not come over to physically look at the job and relied on satellite technology which evidently did not thoroughly show all retaining walls and surfaces and how dirty they were. Hence, there was a little more work involved than what was expected which definitely did not fall on my shoulders as to if he surveyed the area by walking it before bidding. Joe's partner, Steve, did all the work and spent an entire day cleaning my very dirty concrete and paver surfaces. He put the work in but there were areas that were not situated where the dirt could drain somewhere beyond the concrete and pavers, so he just left it set on the pavers. I also didn't like that I could see exactly where he had power washed by the "water pressure strokes" on the surfaces which meant that if I could see the strokes, that implied that between the strokes dirt had been left. Those spots I had pointed out to Steve on the initial day but he said that the rain would fix them. I was also amazed that a power washing company would not have brooms to push dirty water to a drain or a hose to hose off fences, posts or whatever that had been badly soiled with the power washing. Even with all these issues that I believe a professional service would do better, the job definitely cleaned my surfaces and it looks a whole lot better; just not as good as I was hoping since this is a professional service. They did not use any cleansers on areas that had spots nor sand to fill in areas that the power wash efforts pulled up between the pavers. I contacted Joe to do some "redo" on a few spots that needed to be redone before he could apply sealant and two weeks later they were able to return and fix those issues. At that time I got to experience Joe's true business sense. He was so busy validating his work and not even giving me five minutes to share with him my perspective, and he came in the yard very defensive even though we hadn't ever met. He immediately told me that he would not be able to do the sealing job and that I would have to find someone else. He didn't say why but it was obvious that he was defensive and already negative on me and my expectations although they were valid and he did see them and took care of them. I took pictures and I wish that I could attach them here so that others could see what they thought was the finished work PRIOR TO the rework and why they needed to be addressed. The finish work does look great but Joe's approach to try to belittle or diminish others is not professional nor appreciated when it comes to customer support. When they were finished he didn't thank me for the business nor say that they believe they are good to go. I would not recommend this company more so because of the owner's attitude. They sound good but don't ask them to fix something because then they get unpleasant and just tell you that they gave you a good deal and they think the work is great.... nothing to do with how the customer feels or believes. Also they will cancel a phase of the work (such as my sealing) without hesitating or providing you with an explanation. Looking back on other reviews, I realize now that many of them are for cleaning gutters/downspouts and not power washing concrete/pavers and retaining walls or large projects such as what I had."

"Rodney was very courteous, professional, and extremely thorough in explaining to my wife and I the texture of the stain and different colors of stain for the deck as to how that would blend or contrast with the colors of the house. I highly recommend B.I.C. Pressure Cleaning Specialist."

"Matt arrived on time and was efficient at replacing floor tiles. Do you think customer service is gone, well so did we until Matt Hemingway came to replace three broken tiles. He finished in 90 minutes and that included going back to hardware store for a different color grout because he didn't like the way it looked. When done you could not tell the floor had been fixed. Excellent job. Highly recommend."

"They completed our large deck project in just 4 days and $6K under the next lowest quote. Overall I was pleased with their work, but they did miss a couple loose sections of railing and we have already noticed a couple boards popping out of place a few months later. They missed a few things, but for the price and fast turnaround, I?m pleased with the work."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

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.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

It is possible to build your own deck, but it’s typically better to leave the work to a decking professional. Decks can be exceptionally complicated, especially if you want a wrap-around or second-story deck, and you don’t want to risk making an expensive or dangerous mistake. It’s usually better to hire a decking pro who can pull permits and build a structurally sound deck that will last for decades and provide the maximum return on investment.

There are several methods for attaching stair stringers to a deck. The best way is to bolt the stringers to the deck joists using three carriage bolts in a triangular pattern. This method offers the sturdiest fit for stairs that won’t budge. Alternatively, attach the stringers to the deck rims using lag bolts or to the posts using adjustable slope hangers.

Hangers are one way of attaching stair stringers to a deck. These metal hangers are usually adjustable, allowing you to find the ideal angle for a secure installation. They’re the best choice for installing longer staircases, such as one on a two-story deck, to reduce the load on the deck frame while keeping the stairs stable.
