"I recently hired Sunlight Contracting to refresh the interior of my home, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results! From start to finish, the experience was seamless and professional. John & Lou were punctual, courteous, and respectful of my space, ensuring everything was covered and protected before they began. The quality of the paintwork is outstanding—each wall, ceiling, and trim was finished with clean lines and smooth, even coverage. I was impressed with how efficiently they worked, completing the job quickly, and they left the place spotless afterward! I’m thrilled with how bright and inviting my rooms look now. I highly recommend Sunlight Contracting for anyone in need of top-quality interior painting services. I would definitely be call them again for future projects!"

"My garage doors woodwork had peeling paint and needed a refresh. Jorge devised a solution that minimized the rework and avoided the need for future repainting. The final result was excellent and the garages now look like new. The work was performed efficiently and the site cleaned up before they left. Based on this, I have asked Jorge for estimates for two other jobs I have that require rework."

Deck Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Most building codes require that spindles or balusters on deck and stair railings be spaced no more than four inches apart. This safety standard, often called the '4-inch sphere rule,' is designed to prevent small children or pets from slipping through the railing. A good way to visualize this is that a 4-inch sphere should not be able to pass between two spindles. For the same safety reason, the space between the bottom rail and the deck floor 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 crucial to check your local building codes to ensure compliance before starting your project.

Most building codes list a minimum width of 36 inches and a maximum height of 7¾ inches. However, for the most comfort and spaciousness, you’ll want to aim for a width of at least 48 inches and a height of 7 inches. Again, it’s always a good idea to base your numbers off steps that you already use comfortably.

Trex states that its Trex decking is an eco-friendly composite material made of 95% recycled or reclaimed materials (including plastic and wood), making it a sustainable brand of choice. According to the company, Trex is one of the largest plastic bag recyclers in the U.S., with each 500-square-foot Trex deck containing about 140,000 recycled plastic bags.

Before installing a deck, you must build a base for the deck to rest upon, often made of compacted soil or gravel. While gravel is an optional material, it helps with drainage. Some contractors also recommend installing a weed control membrane, which helps provide a solid foundation for the frame. In the case of an elevated deck, a pro will often lay down a concrete slab as a foundation. 

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.
