"We needed this repair asap due to rain deterioration. Clean Hands arranged to come on a Saturday morning. The team did a rebuild in less than 4 hours. Terrific job!! They also followed up to set a date for stain once the wood has cured. I have used Clean Hands several times over the past 5 years and will continue to do so."

"C & S Power Washing always does an excellent job at our house. I would not use anyone else. The products they use makes it longer between cleanings. Please give them a call for a very clean house. You will be glad you did."

"Tom screened in our existing covered porch for us. I initially contacted him via Angie's List and then received a phone call to set up an appointment. Tom recommended we use solar screens vs. traditional screens and I'm so glad we did. We went with the 80% UV blockage screens in brown. They also provide some privacy from the outside looking in, which wasn't a big concern for us but it a nice plus. Tom and 1 other employee completed the work in two (very hot!) days. He also built us a custom screen door using Douglas Fir to match the existing deck wood. We couldn't be happier with the finished product and will likely hire Tom for additional projects around the house."

"I contracted these young men to re-cover my deck/stairs, upgrade the support beams and add additional stairs/ramp. They did a great job at a reasonable price. After completion of this project, I was so impressed with the quality/workmanship, I had them estimate another decking project for an addition to my front porch. I'd recommend these gentlemen for any of your handyman needs."

Deck Cleaning questions, answered by experts

A deck is typically attached to a house and accessed via the back door. Decks are usually constructed from wood or composite materials. A terrace, on the other hand, is a raised platform that can be attached to or detached from the house and is typically made from a hard-paved material, such as paving stones. Terraces can be built on the ground or on the roof of a home.

Yes, but ensuring the deck has a solid foundation with adequate footings is critical before building, as the weight of a sunroom will put significant pressure on the structure below. Even if your deck is properly constructed, it may not be able to handle the extra weight. While some basic, lightweight, prefabricated sunrooms can sit on a deck with a strong existing foundation without additional supports, in many cases, the foundation and joists will need reinforcement. It is always best to have a structural engineer perform an inspection to evaluate the deck's quality and structural integrity. A professional can help you decide if reinforcement is sufficient or if it's better to tear down the deck and start over.

When installing deck boards, screws are generally a better option than nails. Screws offer superior holding strength over time, keeping the boards securely in place. In contrast, nails are more likely to pop out, which can create a tripping hazard. While you can use either, we recommend using 3-inch galvanized deck screws. To minimize the risk of cracking the wood, it's a good practice to drill small pilot holes before driving the screws into the deck joists.

Most building codes require that spindles or balusters on deck and stair railings be spaced no more than four inches apart. This safety standard, often called the '4-inch sphere rule,' is designed to prevent small children or pets from slipping through the railing. A good way to visualize this is that a 4-inch sphere should not be able to pass between two spindles. For the same safety reason, the space between the bottom rail and the deck floor should also be no more than four inches. As a general guideline, professionals often install three balusters per foot of railing. However, since specific requirements can vary by location, it is crucial to check your local building codes to ensure compliance before starting your project.

Pressure-treated wood contains preservatives that give the material internal protection from rot and pests. Untreated lumber won’t last more than a few years unless you choose a more expensive wood, like cedar, that naturally stands up well to moisture. Composite decking can outlast wood but is more expensive and doesn’t look as natural. Keep in mind that you’ll need to seal any exterior wood product to protect it from the elements and other forms of external damage.
