"I was amazed at the work they performed. I contacted Ryan to explain about my old house that had a very sooty and mossy brick chimney...not to mention a very dirty brick patio. I was worried that the old grout in my brick would be damaged by pressure washing, Ryan assured me that they would be very gentle...by first treating problem areas, scrubbing if needed and then rinsing with gentle pressure. He said they could also clean the wooden part of my house and deck. They cleaned the wooden areas and did not damage any old paint. They did an outstanding job...above and beyond my expectations. The crew was very punctual and polite...they completed the job in the promised time frame. I will definitely hire Excel Pro Services for other work. My old house has a fresh new look....Thank You Ryan and crew!!!"

"My overall experience was extremely positive.  Ray is trustworthy and easy to communicate with.  He was flexible with us as we had some design changes (upgrading the wood, hidden fasteners) that changed the project scope. 
I couldn't be more pleased with the overall results!  The deck blossomed to an amazing outdoor space.  His workmanship was incredible.  We couldn't be more pleased.

"It has been 2 years since the job and they came to do the yearly pressure washing and maintenance on the house this past weekend.  My house still looks freshly painted and I could not be more pleased.  The quality of work that Albert and his crew perform is to be commended, they take pride in a job well done and make sure you are pleased with the final product.  I recently got estimates for interior work and I look forward to using them again."

"I've used Brock and his team several times in the past few years, and they always do a great job. I've gotten the aeration service and "curb appeal package," which is basically several hours of work to trim hedges, clean debris, and any other work that we request and can be done within the allotted hours. The team even picked up some loose logs that they saw, without my request to have it done. Will definitely use again."

"Contacted him on Monday and scheduled him to do the work on Thursday when I would be working at home. He arrived on time and quickly did the job. Excellent job on both the house and deck. I have asked for a quote to stain and seal the deck also, and he has said I will get that in a day or two."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

When installing deck boards, screws are generally a better option than nails. Screws offer superior holding strength over time, keeping the boards securely in place. In contrast, nails are more likely to pop out, which can create a tripping hazard. While you can use either, we recommend using 3-inch galvanized deck screws. To minimize the risk of cracking the wood, it's a good practice to drill small pilot holes before driving the screws into the deck joists.

Deck boards should be spaced no more than three-eighths of an inch apart. This is enough space to allow water and small debris to pass through without collecting on the surface, but not enough to create a tripping hazard. Certain materials, like pressure-treated wood, shrink over time, so they may need less space at installation.

Cutting the boards directly is one of the fastest ways to remove deck boards with hidden fasteners. Mark two parallel lines that are one-third of the total measurement on both ends and cut out the centerpiece. Then, remove the end of the board that doesn’t have a fastener. Finally, pry open the fastened side and pull it up to pop out the screw or access the fastener. This also allows you to salvage portions of boards for other projects.

Whether you need a permit depends on the deck design and local regulations. Most areas mandate a building permit if the deck is over a specific height or if it's attached to a pre-existing structure. Shorter, freestanding decks may not require a permit, but you should check with local zoning ordinances and your homeowners association for specifics.

The best way to clean your decking is to clear debris from the gaps between the boards, sweep the surface, rinse it, apply cleaner, rinse again, and let it dry fully. A homemade deck cleaner made of two gallons of warm water and 1/2 cup vinegar is a simple cleaning solution for both wood and composite decking. You can sprinkle baking soda on any spots with mold or mildew, then scrub the area and rinse clean.
