"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

Putting lattice under a deck will create a polished look that allows for air ventilation. You can also store items underneath as the lattice provides privacy and protection from the weather. You can also put lattice under a porch to create a polished look in the front of your house.

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.

The best base materials for a ground-level or floating deck are typically gravel and crushed stone (also known as landscaping rocks). These options are inexpensive, provide excellent drainage, prevent weeds, and help minimize moisture buildup, which reduces shifting and rotting. For added stability and to evenly distribute the weight, you can use concrete deck blocks or pavers. While more expensive, concrete blocks and pavers offer a sturdier base than gravel or crushed stone alone.

In general, you need a footing at each corner of your deck, and within 8 feet of each other. So, how many you need depends on the size and shape of your deck, plus any local building codes. It also depends on factors like the load capacity of your soil and the weight of your deck. You can find a footing calculator online or contact a pro for support.

That depends on the condition of your deck. An older deck that looks drab, worn, or has multiple damaged boards might be worth replacing before selling. However, if your deck is in good condition, you can simply clean, repaint, or stain it.
