"I was very pleased with this company from my first contact to schedule an appointment for an estimate. Frank Jager was punctual, knowledgeable, and worked within my budget. He explained the work that would be done. answered my questions, and left a detailed written estimate. The power washing was completed in one day, and the sanding and sealing done a few days later after the wood had thoroughly dried. The repair of the rear paver walk was done on a different day.
Workers were organized and careful. There was no damage to surrounding flower beds and aluminum siding was protected with heavy plastic. The exterior of my home looks amazing! The decks look new and the medium brown sealer that Frank suggested is a perfect color match with the brown aluminum trim. The stone walls and cement walks are mold and mildew free. The paver walk is level again, and spotlessly clean.
Frank Jager and his staff are experienced professionals. They are polite, responsive, and clearly take pride in their work. I couldn't be happier with their services and would certainly recommend them."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Cold temperatures can make your deck boards contract. If they don’t contract evenly, they can put pressure on the deck screws and cause them to pop out, making a noticeable sound. Winterizing your deck can help prevent this from happening.

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.

Yes, you can attach a deck to a mobile home, but it’s important that the work be done correctly to avoid the potential for major damage to your home. Many building codes require that any additions to mobile homes—including decks—be either freestanding or have their own support structures. Getting permits may require submitting the home's original floor plan, the proposed floor plan, framing details, and more. 

Yes, it’s definitely possible to build a pergola on an existing deck. All you need to do is attach the pergola support beams to the deck’s joists and build up from there. Beware that mistakes can damage your deck, so if you’re at all unsure of the process, play it safe and hire a pro for your custom build.

The best and fastest way to remove paint from a deck often involves combining a chemical stripper with a pressure washer. Gel-based paint strippers are highly recommended because their thick consistency makes them less messy and easier to apply than liquid strippers. After applying the stripper to loosen the paint, you can use a pressure washer to efficiently wash away the residue. When using a pressure washer for this task, it's important to use a low pressure (under 1000 PSI) to avoid forcing too much moisture into the wood, which could lead to mildew or rot.
