"The owner Eric was great and always kept me up-to-date on the project timeline (I was painting my deck and obviously it was dependent on weather). He was very professional, and his two painters Edgar and Diego were wonderful. They were very thorough and the deck looks like new! Thank you Red, White and Blue painting!!"

"Jose Davila is a talented and hardworking contractor. He's very handy and knowledgable, he is an artist and a craftsman. Jose does things the right way. He takes a lot of pride in his work. He is reliable. Jose is very concerned that you are happy, pleased, and satisfied with the work he has done. He prepped and painted every room in my house, including some carpentry work. He is very skillful in applying, replacing, and repairing drywall/Sheetrock. Jose is honest and trustworthy. He had my key did the work while I was at work. His beautiful work helped to sell my home. Jose has also done pressure washing on my wooden fence and the aluminum siding on my house. He repaired the cracks in my concrete drive way and resurfaced it. He repaired and resurfaced my concrete front porch. My neighbor saw his van in my driveway and asked about Joseâ s work. I gave him high marks and they subsequently hired Jose to work on their house. They later thanked me for recommending him because they were very pleased with his work. Besides highly recommending Jose I am also proud to call him my friend. I know Jose and his family and they are very nice people. Jose is a local contractor who lives in Hamilton."

Customers say: Quick response

"We were searching for someone to paint our aged wooden deck...it needed a complete make-over. We contacted Jonathan for a quote and he responded in a very timely manner and answered every question we had. After comparing his quote with a couple of others, we found his price to be reasonable and so we hired him to power wash, sand and paint our deck. Jonathan was punctual, extremely polite and respectful and a hard worker. He communicated with us throughout the project and did a fantastic job, taking care and pride in his work. We are very happy with the results and Shaker Flooring and Paint will be our go-to for any future home painting projects. I highly recommend this business!"

"Excellent work, professional and very friendly.  I would recommend to anyone looking for power washing services.  I have larger stucco house with large deck and patio.  Steve and Ray did an outstanding job.  They walked the property after they completed service with me to ensure I was satisfied.  I highly recommend this company."

"Our deck looked to be in such disrepair we thought we needed a new one! Everet provided us a free consultation and ensured it was salvageable. In 2 visits our deck looked almost brand new! The price was very reasonable considering a new deck would cost thousands."

"Work was fantastic. Response time was immediate. They came to house to give quote I accepted and they began work immediately finished the job in one day and just needed to stop in 2 consecutive days in the morning to finalize as the patch work needed to dry. Repair was a 4’ tall by 3’ wide upside down T shape draywall removed due to leaking plumbing. Wall had curve and needed to match perfectly for trim to fit back on and not show the lines of new drywall. Wall looks as good as new and no repair can be seen after painting. Could not be happier with the entire experience."

"Pat and his team were, by and large, fantastic. They executed on all aspects of the original quote flawlessly. The ribbon pointing around the stonework, especially in the front part of the house, turned out very nice. We're extremely happy with how the masonry looks. It went so smoothly, we added additional work onto the quote to seal the concrete and touch up paint along the exterior of the house. The painting wasn't as neat or clean as it could have been - it's probably a little step above what I could have done. Mostly importantly, when we encountered a couple of problems along the way, they were responsive and went above and beyond to sort it out. I think they approached the whole project very well, and even worked with us on the price for the add-ons. All-in-all, super solid work from a super solid contractor. Highly recommended."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

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 recommended to clean your deck once or twice a year to prevent the accumulation of dirt, debris, mold, and mildew. The ideal times for cleaning are in the spring and fall. A spring cleaning removes grime that has built up over the winter, preparing your deck for summer use. A fall cleaning washes away messes from summer activities, preventing them from setting into the wood over the winter. The exact frequency can depend on factors such as how often the deck is used, its exposure to pollen, and whether salt was used on it during the winter. Regular cleaning helps protect the wood and its finish from damage.

Pressure-treated decking may be worth it if you want a natural, insect- and rot-resistant decking material that will last for decades with proper maintenance. As such, it’s a much better option than untreated pine. Alternative wood decking materials like cedar and redwood tend to be less durable and more expensive. Some homeowners prefer composite decking, which is a low-maintenance alternative to wood but is also more costly.

The best base materials for a ground-level or floating deck are typically gravel and crushed stone (also known as landscaping rocks). These options are inexpensive, provide excellent drainage, prevent weeds, and help minimize moisture buildup, which reduces shifting and rotting. For added stability and to evenly distribute the weight, you can use concrete deck blocks or pavers. While more expensive, concrete blocks and pavers offer a sturdier base than gravel or crushed stone alone.

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.
