"The cleaning process used a combination of detergents and enclosed hot water jets which effectively cleaned the surface and some depth within the porous tile with no mess. In addition, the process simultaneously vacuumed the dirty water with a powerful vacuum, so that a minimum of dirt and moisture was retained in the tile. Areas of water damage were first coated with an emulsion, which did not soak in, but which effectively removed white calcium deposits on the surface. A minimum of 4 coats of water-based sealer was applied to protect in future without harmful solvents. I never thought our tile could ever look this nice again! This is a family business, and it was a real pleasure to be served by the father and his two sons. The boys were very strong and seemed to make light work of the refrigerator, washer, and even my grand piano. I enjoyed talking with them as they worked. The job was performed to the agreed upon schedule and amount with no surprises. They have my highest recommendation."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

While you can use various materials like sand or even just soil, gravel is widely considered the best option to put under a deck. It provides excellent drainage and is resistant to water, fire, and pests. Gravel also helps anchor the soil to prevent erosion during heavy rain and acts as a built-in weed blocker, reducing regular upkeep. Furthermore, it is simple to spread, available in various textures and tones, and adds a polished look that complements any deck design.

Deck stairs should have at least three stringers rather than two. The recommended minimum width for stairs is 36 inches, and the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors recommends at least three cut stringers to provide sufficient support on wood decking stairs of this width. Generally, stringers should be a maximum of 16 inches apart for wood decking and 12 inches apart for more flexible composite decking.

Decks are generally more expensive to build because they require elevating and railings. The difference between decks and patios is that decks are elevated, while patios are usually on the ground level. Plus, decks are usually made of wood and need more maintenance than most patios. However, decks and patios serve the same purpose, providing outdoor space for you to enjoy.

Typically, most residential wooden decks are designed to support approximately 40 pounds per square foot, including the deck’s weight and any items placed on it. While this is fine for typical use, it is usually not enough to hold the weight of a hot tub filled with water and people. To safely support a hot tub, your wood deck will likely require reinforcement. Therefore, it’s best to have a contractor or a structural engineer assess it before hot tub installation.

You can build an outdoor kitchen on a deck, but you should choose composite decking since it's more heat-resistant. Metal deck materials like steel and aluminum are also good choices because they're less flammable than wood. You should also consider the weight of the kitchen—make sure your deck can support it and any appliances you plan to use. You should consult a structural engineer to confirm exactly how much weight your deck can safely support when building an outdoor kitchen.
