"Overall the service was good. Our deck and porch look much better. We had some areas where stain overspray needed cleaning. It was a bit difficult getting them back out to do the clean up. Communication could have been more timely on the follow-up cleaning."

"This company came highly recommended by a few neighbors in our neighborhood, so we had Carlos and his crew repair our stairs, remove the old, dingy carpet, remodel the stair treads, and paint the whole stairs and railings. He really stands out both in craftsmanship and character! He did amazing work at a completely reasonable price and I can?t express enough how genuine and kind he is. He not only cared about the work they did, but clearly cared about taking care of us (for example, wore masks as requested without judgement towards us), and he made sure to be careful around our new floors. He also was so patient with us when we made a mistake! We will absolutely have him back over for all of our painting and carpentry needs and we?ll pass along the recommendation to neighbors!"

"Very pleased with the work and look. Very satisfied overall. The estimator and supervisor Alex was very attentive, prompt and willing to answer any and all questions I had. The two carpenters in particular who did the majority of the work were excellent. Only complaint is minor as perhaps they could have cleaned up better when work was finished as we found many plastic labels that came off the ends of the new deck boards as well as a few random nails. Again a very minor complaint."

"Prentice and Michelle are FANTASTIC!! We used them a few months ago for some leaf cleanup (which was also wonderful) and after a terrible experience with another provider, I called them back for our regular lawn maintenance. They came the same day (!!!) and went above and beyond all expectations. They finished our overgrown and large yard in about an hour and a half and their customer service cannot be topped."

"My project was a living room that had not been painted in more than 15 years. The room was prepped to remove the wall imperfections. As no paint was available from the original project, the painter matched the trim and ceiling colors. The painter was a pro and did a fantastic job. I was kept informed about arrival time of the painter who was very neat with their equipment and supplies. I would definitely hire Ramirez Carpentry and Construction LLC again in the future."

"Ruben and his crew did excellent work building our deck. He stayed in touch with us each step of the way. He took care of the permitting and worked with us to meet the HOA requirements. The deck looks like it was constructed meticulously and is built to last! Thanks Ruben!"

"Alex Diaz, the owner, was prompt to respond with a quote, was incredibly thorough, and completed impeccable work! He is very communicative and willing to do just about anything. I appreciated most his desire to help save us money without sacrificing quality! This is the third project weà  à  à  à ¢à  à  à  à  à  à  à  à  ve hired J&J for - the first being exterior wood repair/replacement and paint; second a paint job of 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms; and third, a complete deck replacement. While on-site, we had a few small projects, replaced our broken garbage disposal and repair of two sliding glass doors. We plan to use his company for all we can moving forward!!"

"We had our deck power washed and the floor repainted and the front porch railings repaired and repainted. He also repainted the trim around the front door. Plus he put in a new mailbox for us. Damian is a hard worker, he’s precise and takes the time to do a really good job. He came when he said he would and everything was spotless when he finished. He’s pleasant and easy to have around. We highly recommend Median’s Painting and Services."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Whether composite decking is better than wood depends on your priorities, especially regarding budget and maintenance. Composite decking offers superior longevity (30 to 50 years) and durability, and it is low-maintenance, requiring no sanding, staining, or sealing. In contrast, wood decks typically last 10 to 30 years and need refinishing every few years. While the upfront cost of composite is higher than wood, the reduced maintenance can lead to long-term savings. If a lower initial cost is the primary factor, wood is the more affordable choice.

Space deck handrail posts four to six feet apart. If the posts are more than six feet apart, the railing will be less able to withstand lateral forces and is more susceptible to breaking. Additionally, railing posts that are more than six feet apart may not be up to code, and you may face fines and be required to reinstall the posts to bring them up to code.

No. In most cases, it’s not colder or freezing temperatures that affect decking materials but the amount of moisture that seeps into the materials as a result. For example, wood decking material is more likely to suffer from rot or decay when exposed to excess moisture from snow or ice. An extreme change in temperature can cause wood to expand or contract, but only if it’s not properly treated beforehand.

Yes, deck pier blocks can be used as an alternative to traditional deck footings, particularly for small or low-to-the-ground decks. Unlike poured concrete and buried post footings, deck blocks don’t require digging or pouring. However, their use is regulated by local building codes, and they may not be permitted in areas prone to high winds, earthquakes, or hurricanes. Always consult your local building codes before choosing them for your deck project.

For the best results, stay off of your deck for at least 48 hours after sealing it. Giving the sealant at least two full days to cure ensures it can fully penetrate the wood, giving you the most protection from sun and weather damage later on. Walking on the deck too soon can prevent it from properly curing and cause your deck to weather prematurely.
