"Ryan was promoted, professional and thorough. Our decks are 30 years old, they had been neglected for last few years. Ryan and his dad brought our decks back to look like new. Highly recommend Jayce for your deck restoration project!"

"I can?t thank enough Klajdi and Denis about how beautiful our house looks after they painted the exterior of it. They were very profesional and in time. First day pressure washed the exterior of the house then they taped the window before started painting. I am speeches about their professionalism and how clean they left the house after the job was completed. They both went beyond what they promised to do and fixed some of my deck?s railing on their own. I will definitely recommend them and hire them in the future again. Thank you guys."

"I hired J&A Carpentry to install a fence around my property. Jeff and his crew were punctual and very efficient. They kept me in the loop the whole time on my project. I got estimates from a few different companies and J&A Carpentry was the best price and fair. They got all the materials and installed the fence with no hassle. I would definetly recommend J&A Carpentry to anyone looking for home repairs or remodels!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

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.

The best direction for a gate to swing depends on its location and purpose, but swinging inward is the general rule. An inward swing is often considered safer, prevents the gate from opening into public spaces like a sidewalk, and may be required by local building codes.

There are exceptions and specific considerations. If your property is on a slope, an inward swing might not be possible. For a deck gate, it's safest to have it swing away from any steps. In a backyard, the direction can be a matter of preference, though an inward swing can be helpful when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

Regardless of direction, ensure the gate can open fully without hitting any objects or blocking spaces. While an inward swing is standard, a gate that can swing both in and out offers the most flexibility if your setup allows for it.

Deck boards should be spaced no more than three-eighths of an inch apart. This is enough space to allow water and small debris to pass through without collecting on the surface, but not enough to create a tripping hazard. Certain materials, like pressure-treated wood, shrink over time, so they may need less space at installation.

No, your deck will not rot under artificial grass as long as it is installed properly. When installed correctly, the artificial grass features a drainage system that prevents rotting. Simply laying artificial grass on top of the decking without proper installation will not lead to an effective drainage system that prevents rotting.

When staining a deck, don’t skip surface prep, avoid staining damp or dirty boards, and don’t apply stain in extreme heat, cold, or wet conditions. Never overload the wood with a stain, as too much can cause tackiness or peeling. Also, don’t forget to test a small area first to ensure the color and finish look right.
