"Everyone looking for a cleaning service. They are the BEST! Hire Molly and her team. THEY DID AN EXCELLENT JOB! I went on Angis site looking for a cleaning service they answered me back right away. Came the next day when I wanted them to. You don't need to buy any supplies they come fully prepared. They let you know ahead of time what they use. I needed cleaning supplies for Marble and stone and they did not have but I needed that for my floors and countertops. Molly picked it up the day of my cleaning and called me that morning. I was very impressed. They cleaned my house very well. Everything that I requested on my notes before hiring they did. I was moving back into my house after being rented out. And I requested them to focus on my floors, kitchen cabinets, bathroom wall tiles which was so well cleaned all my friends came over and said excellent job. The whole bathroom. The kitchen was so clean, cabinets, stove refrigerator my stainless steel sink in the kitchen was so clean and shiny. I'd like to know what they use. Omg. Amazing. I also asked Molly if they clean carpets and they do. My carpet is 5yrs old. My friends came over and noticed right away.. They can tell said excellent job. I told my friends call Waldos Cleaning service. There prices are reasonable. Will definitely hire them back regularly. Look no further hire Waldos Cleaning Service. Thank you so much."
"Victor and Louis were excellent to deal with, communicative and professional, and they made a dealing with a minor disaster a little easier and certainly more pleasant. There was a crew at the house within a few hours of the plumbing issue being resolved, and they started demo the next day. They were professional and work horses, getting two days worth of work done in one long day. They left equipment to dry the area and came back each day to check the levels. They cleaned up everything they could and even discovered some termite damage we didn't know about, which is helpful as we can treat and fix this before the walls are sealed back up. What professionals!"

Cutting the boards directly is one of the fastest ways to remove deck boards with hidden fasteners. Mark two parallel lines that are one-third of the total measurement on both ends and cut out the centerpiece. Then, remove the end of the board that doesn’t have a fastener. Finally, pry open the fastened side and pull it up to pop out the screw or access the fastener. This also allows you to salvage portions of boards for other projects.
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.
To flatten a cupped deck board, start by ensuring it’s dry. Then, try flipping the board over so the cupped side faces down and reattach it. If that’s not possible, you can use screws to pull it tighter to the joists or plane the edges slightly to reduce the cup. It’s best to replace severely cupped boards.
The best base materials for a ground-level or floating deck are typically gravel and crushed stone (also known as landscaping rocks). These options are inexpensive, provide excellent drainage, prevent weeds, and help minimize moisture buildup, which reduces shifting and rotting. For added stability and to evenly distribute the weight, you can use concrete deck blocks or pavers. While more expensive, concrete blocks and pavers offer a sturdier base than gravel or crushed stone alone.
You can add a roof to most decks, but you need to have it inspected first. If your deck didn’t come with a roof initially, it may not be able to handle the weight without some structural changes. You can add additional supports to your existing deck to safely add a roof, and tying your deck’s roof to an exterior wall can help add some structural stability, but remember these aren’t DIY projects and need to be left to a pro.
