"Chris and crew arrived on time daily. They were professional and meticulous. All of the old decking was removed and hauled away. They were clean and neat and did not make a mess. Our deck feels solid, no more rotted and wobbly boards. Our project was completed quickly (3 days/1 day removal of old decking/2 days of repair/rebuild). I highly recommend Eden Landscaping."

"Tripp was amazing. I am very impressed with the quality of his work. I needed my deck power washed, sanded, repaired and stained. He showed up when he said he would be here and he just was a very nice gentlemen. I will definitely be hiring him again to do work at my home, he is a true gem!"

"Eric called me within minutes of me requesting a quote on HomeAdvisor. He spent 30 minutes on the phone patiently educating me on the best products, as well as the best method to clean and stain a deck that was built 2 years ago, but never protected. He showed up right on time for our scheduled appointment a couple of days after the call and gave me an excellent quote. He cleaned the deck the same day and stained it the very next day. I cannot say enough good things about Piedmont Power Washing, the quality of customer service, or the value received for the amount of work completed. I highly recommend them!!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Deck stairs should have at least three stringers rather than two. The recommended minimum width for stairs is 36 inches, and the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors recommends at least three cut stringers to provide sufficient support on wood decking stairs of this width. Generally, stringers should be a maximum of 16 inches apart for wood decking and 12 inches apart for more flexible composite decking.

Composite decking requires a solid foundation, substructure, or subframe to ensure stability. This base is typically composed of posts, beams, joists, and footings. The frame's joists can be built from various materials like composite, plastic, timber, or metal, as long as the base can support the deck's weight without shifting. A professional deck builder might recommend installing the frame on a solid concrete base for added durability. The final design and materials for the substructure will depend on your budget, the type of deck, and environmental conditions.

It is definitely worth sanding a deck to ensure the wood absorbs new stain. Sanding a deck removes the outer layers of aging wood, allowing the stain to penetrate. It also gives a fresh look to the entire surface as part of the deck refinishing process. Without sanding, your stain or sealant is less likely to absorb into the wood. While sanding a deck is a time-intensive project, the rewards are noticeable and long-lasting.

Before installing a deck, you must build a base for the deck to rest upon, often made of compacted soil or gravel. While gravel is an optional material, it helps with drainage. Some contractors also recommend installing a weed control membrane, which helps provide a solid foundation for the frame. In the case of an elevated deck, a pro will often lay down a concrete slab as a foundation. 

A wood deck requires annual cleaning and regular inspections for loose or broken boards, nails, and screws. It should be refinished by applying a stain or sealer every two to three years to protect the wood from water damage, rot, mildew, and sun fading. The exact frequency can depend on the climate and the deck's exposure to sun and moisture. If your deck is painted, it will need repainting approximately every 10 years. Signs that your deck needs refinishing include faded, splintering, or warping boards.
