"AJ and his team:Jimmy,Pete,Mark and his cohort were great. Theyâ ve been here three years ago and believe it or not it was AJ (the owner) and his father. My deck being a hardwood (Ipe-Brazilian) requires extra attention. Stain(an Australian timber oil) has to be rolled on delicately and then brushed. It ainâ t easy folks. And I might add we had deck furniture and plants that weighed in excess of 50 lbs. Took four days and there may have been some latency in return calls thatâ s the business world. Trust them. Great work. AJ is a force of nature and I would encourage you to give him a call as he is very resourceful and a wonderful guy to work with."

"The building that was painted is a two story commercial building. A New Look Painting painted the interior of the building and did a very professional job. Employees were very cordial, respectful and a pleasure to work with. The owner assured me he would not leave the job site until I was satisfied with the work. He is honorable and a man of his word. Very satisfied!"

"They just finished putting a front porch railing, handrails and posts on our house along with upgrading our deck and power washing our garage. We were much more than pleased with the quality of their work for a very fair price. We will be using them again for any future projects as well as highly recommending them to anyone else who needs similar work done."

"Mr. Green was a hard worker, very particular about the quality of his work. He matched the color. Before painting, he power-washed the deck. He also sanded the floor boards and applied two coats to them. Other estimates never mentioned sanding, and painting two coats, so I think it was a quality job."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

In most cases, there should be a small gap between the house and the deck, usually no more than ½ to ¾ of an inch. This space allows water and moisture to flow through instead of pooling against the side of your house. It also lets flashing protect your siding from runoff, which is one of the most common issues with decks.

No, it isn’t necessary to skirt a deck, but investing in the cost to install deck skirting can bring more value to your home. Not only does deck skirting make the deck look more complete, but it can also turn otherwise unused space beneath the deck into useful storage space.

It is possible to pressure wash your deck, but it’s usually best to leave the work to a professional for two main reasons. First, power washers are expensive, and you can avoid high upfront costs by hiring a deck washing pro instead. Second, you must be careful to use the correct setting to avoid damaging your deck material. You can only clean soft woods like pine with a wide spray and a low pressure; otherwise, the water will leave unpleasant marks on your deck. Hard woods, composite material, and metal can stand up to increasingly higher water pressures.

The problems with composite decking include a high rate of expansion and contraction from temperature swings. This characteristic can cause boards to split, delaminate, or peel. In addition, significant movement can cause shrinking, warping, twisting, and bending. For this reason, you should minimize moisture and ensure proper airflow below your deck.

The best direction for a gate to swing depends on its location and purpose, but swinging inward is the general rule. An inward swing is often considered safer, prevents the gate from opening into public spaces like a sidewalk, and may be required by local building codes.

There are exceptions and specific considerations. If your property is on a slope, an inward swing might not be possible. For a deck gate, it's safest to have it swing away from any steps. In a backyard, the direction can be a matter of preference, though an inward swing can be helpful when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

Regardless of direction, ensure the gate can open fully without hitting any objects or blocking spaces. While an inward swing is standard, a gate that can swing both in and out offers the most flexibility if your setup allows for it.
