"Haley is a superior worker. She takes care of our rental cabin as if it is her own home. She cleans impeccably, communicates when supplies are low or anything needs maintenance or repair, she shops for me when needed, reports to me how guests treated our property, maintains our hot tub, and overall runs the place like clockwork. She is reliable, trustworthy, communicative, hardworking, ethical, detail oriented, conscientious, and smart. She has run our property for five years with absolutely no issues. We get glowing reviews on how clean our place is, and we 100% give credit to her sense of ownership and work ethic for the many return guests and the repeated 5 star reviews we receive. She is one of the main reasons for our success, and you won t go wrong if you work with her. She is a gem, and she has high standards, so if you are looking for someone who will be loyal and reliable, and you are willing to be the same in return, you will be a perfect match. She deserves nothing less than an incredible employer because there is no better employee/ partner than Haley."

Deck Maintenance FAQs, answered by experts

Liquid rubber is great for waterproofing, but it can damage your deck if it’s not applied correctly. First, it can trap moisture in the wood if the deck isn’t completely dry before application.  Second, applying it too thickly can create a heavy, rubbery surface layer that peels and cracks under fluctuating temperatures. For the best results, ensure the wood is completely dry before application, and apply the liquid rubber in thin, even coats. A quick inspection every now and then will help you catch any issues early, keeping your deck protected and looking its best.

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.

Building a deck isn't too hard if you’re handy with carpentry, have the necessary tools, and are willing to put effort into it. However, other factors, such as plans, permits, and design, can be hard if you don’t have experience in those areas.

Note: You’ll need another person to help you build the deck (especially for framing and setting the beams). Building a deck yourself will be very difficult if you don’t have an extra set of hands to help.

Always sand a deck before repainting so the wood is smooth and ready for paint. While you do not need to fully remove paint before repainting, sanding helps remove any areas with weather and sun damage. Sanding also helps remove chipped or flaking paint and opens the wood pores to improve paint adhesion.

Both composite and PVC decking are excellent alternatives to wood. However, while composite is moderately priced and lasts around 30 years, PVC costs more and lasts longer. PVC is also more durable, though both materials are more durable than wood decking. Ultimately, the choice between composite and PVC decking will come down to your budget and preferences.
