"We feel very fortunate to have found Cliff to take our newly purchased home to the next level by completing the bonus room makeover of our dreams! We contacted three other businesses for estimates but chose to hire Cliff for the job because of his knowledge, experience, and fine attention to detail. We connected immediately and he brought many ideas to us that we hadnâ t thought of before. We now have an incredible modern rec/tv room with beautiful new hardwoods that match the adjoining ones perfectly. On one side he installed a gorgeous kitchenette with a 5 foot tall ornate tile backsplash and quartz countertops, complete with two gorgeous 11 foot long wooden floating shelves that he built from scratch. On the other side of the room, he installed a 16 foot wall of horizontal shiplap (no seams!) and mounted our tv over the full wall of cabinets he installed with another quartz countertop. The barn doors at the entrance have been refaced and are now sleek and modern. Cliff and his crews nailed every element of this large project that included plumbing, flooring, electrical, and painting. Cliff has gone out of his way to meet me at stores to select stains or help me find the perfect cabinet hardware. I am very particular and he is extremely patient to ensure we get exactly what we want while taking care of our property. He will definitely be our top choice for any other home renovations in the future!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

A deck doesn’t have to be perfectly level. Many pros even recommend a gentle slope to ensure proper drainage and increase longevity. The ideal gentle slope is about 1/8 to 1/4 inch per foot away from the property, leading water away from the home to prevent pooling and reduce the risk of damage. It also minimizes rot, mold, and other moisture-related problems. 

Most building codes require that railing spindles (also known as balusters) on decks or stairs be spaced no more than four inches apart. This safety standard is often called the '4-inch sphere rule,' which means a sphere with a 4-inch diameter should not be able to pass through the opening between balusters. This rule is in place to prevent small children and pets from slipping through the railing. For the same reason, the space between the bottom rail and the deck or floor surface 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 essential to check your local building codes to ensure compliance before starting your project.

In most cases, sanding an old deck before staining it is necessary to achieve a decent finish. If your old deck has a relatively new stain finish on it and you're only doing touch-ups, you can generally skip the sanding part. However, if your goal is to make the deck look and function better, sanding first is a must. 

Yes, Ipe wood is a popular high-end choice for pool decking. It repels water and is naturally slip-resistant. It's not susceptible to mold, mildew, or rot, either, so it lasts longer and is cleaner and more hygienic than other popular decking materials. However, remember that due to its status, it is a very high-cost wood, and you might find that an alternative would serve you just as well for significantly less.

Homeowners should build their floating decks at least 18 inches off the ground. Having it at this height will allow for better airflow underneath and help prevent moisture-related problems like warping or rot. That being said, local guidelines for deck heights may vary depending on where you live.
