"Mark listens and pays attention to detail. ...I've had a lot of things done to my homes that I don't have the skills to do, and he was absolutely the best that I've worked with..timely...focused...and grade of work was outstanding. I have neighbors that have have sons that build and they want Mark and his crew to build for them instead of their sons...that's how good he is..I don't plan on having anyone else complete my jobs other than Mountain Man Maintenance because I trust them..and these days it's hard to find. Some companies don't even call you back....he called me back and came that day because I was leaving town the next day...excellent from contact to completion. ...10 stars.. Steve D"

"Brian and his crew were very professional and knew what needed to be done. The concrete was the best, after the cutting at this point no cracks. I would suggest that they invest in a better method of applying the stain. I did have areas that were noticeable that stain did not take. I paid extra for more stain outside of the contact. One spot was in our doorway. The reason I took a star, I did not appreciate that all the trash and empty stain bottles were thrown in our trash that filled it to the top. You have to be careful what is thrown away."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

When building a deck, #2 grade lumber is a go-to for several reasons. It’s strong, budget-friendly, and works well for most framing and decking needs. But upgrading to #1 or Appearance Grade can give your deck that extra visual edge if you're after a cleaner, more polished look for high-visibility spots.

There are more pros than cons when staining a deck. Deck stain is more affordable than paint, it protects the wood and allows the natural textures to shine through, and it can revive the appearance of your home. However, deck stain also requires prep work (sometimes days or more), carries more upkeep than a painted deck, and can fade over time if not cared for. 

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.

Unless you’re using a 2-in-1 formula or painting over an existing coat of paint, it pays to apply a coat of primer ahead of your new paint. Decks see a lot of footfall and exposure to extreme and sudden temperature changes and moisture levels. The primer promotes better paint adhesion, moisture repellency, and a smoother finish, which means you’ll often need fewer coats of paint. 

It’s important to make sure the wood on a new deck is properly seasoned. Seasoning a deck is simple: Once you build it (or have a pro do so), just leave it alone so it can acclimate to the environment. If you don’t give the deck proper seasoning time before staining, the stain can lock in any lingering moisture and cause mold, rot, and other moisture issues down the road. Give the wood at least four to eight weeks to season before you stain.
