"All of my work with John was done over the phone including texted pictures. While phone only can be generally stressful, John went above and beyond in keeping me informed along the way. I appreciated his updates regarding his schedule (bumped EARLIER) and his detailed explanations with picture backup. He was also very budget conscious and suggested work that would help with the ongoing maintenance of the house and roof (which was also coated). I appreciated his color suggestions (I never would have picked a red roof, but I love it). It went from weathered, faded, semi-transparent olive green with a three toned green roof to solid gray with a red roof. I plan on using Professional Coatings again for future projects."

"Sheldon and his team were everything you could want in a painter. Prompt communication, fair price, good advice and excellent work. They went above an beyond to fix the little things that they found. No extra cost. They even moved the wood pile away from the deck and restacked it. High marks across the board."

"In a previous review I stated I had not heard anything from the company about necessary repairs. That WAS NOT an issue with the company or its owner! It was an issue with electronic communications failure on my equipment. That issue is resolved (I hope!) I would highly recommend this company to anyone needing any type of repair for their home."

Small jobs welcome

"Mike and his crew showed up on the dot and went right to work. They remembered the items we wanted done and did some other things on their own, just because they needed to be done. They were all pleasant, polite and professional. The only thing a little disappointing was the decking boards they used to replace the damaged ones don't match the older boards because they are thicker so are higher than the older boards. Also, the older boards have been pressure washed so the replacements boards are obviously smoother. However, we are genuinely pleased with the work and the speed it was completed and how neatly they left the work site. We would recommend Mike without hesitation."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

For a 12x20-foot (240-square-foot) deck, you can expect to pay between $7,200 and $14,400. This cost is based on a general price of $30 to $60 per square foot. The final price will depend on factors such as the decking material, design complexity, deck type, location, and local labor costs. Keep in mind that add-ons will increase the total; for example, adding an under-deck drainage system to a deck of this size could cost an additional $7,700.

It’s best to prime composite decking before painting. This promotes better paint adhesion, helps create a smooth finish, and can mean the paint job will last longer. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application, allow ample primer drying time before painting (typically 24 to 48 hours), and thoroughly clean the deck boards to promote the best adhesion.

While you can use various materials like sand or even just soil, gravel is widely considered the best option to put under a deck. It provides excellent drainage and is resistant to water, fire, and pests. Gravel also helps anchor the soil to prevent erosion during heavy rain and acts as a built-in weed blocker, reducing regular upkeep. Furthermore, it is simple to spread, available in various textures and tones, and adds a polished look that complements any deck design.

Pressure-treated decking may be worth it if you want a natural, insect- and rot-resistant decking material that will last for decades with proper maintenance. As such, it’s a much better option than untreated pine. Alternative wood decking materials like cedar and redwood tend to be less durable and more expensive. Some homeowners prefer composite decking, which is a low-maintenance alternative to wood but is also more costly.

Deck skirting shouldn’t touch the ground, especially if you have a wood deck, which is vulnerable to moisture. Ideally, you should leave at least 3/4 of an inch of space between the deck skirting and the ground for more ventilation. Pros also recommend that you incorporate about 1 square foot of space for ventilation for the underside of the deck to every 150 square feet of decking. Proper ventilation prevents mold growth and rot that can damage your deck.
