"lou was on time, neat, did a fine job power washing, sanding and staining our old deck. He replaced a rotted potion of decking at no extra cost as well as other extras at no cost or minimum and extremely fair prices. I highly recommend LB Maintenance."

"Melvin and his team did an outstanding job softwashing the house, windows, deck and fence. They were careful not to damage the flower beds. They were meticulous in making sure everything was cleaned. They even washed the furniture on the deck when requested. The value for what I was charged was excellent. This is the second year in a row that I have used them and intend on using them going forward. I would highly recommend them."

"This was the first time we had our deck power washed and stained by Rob. It hasn't looked this good since it was built. He also replaced some broken lattice work and everything he did was in a very skillful manner. We've already asked Rob to do other jobs for us around the house. We highly recommend him."

"Mario power washed, sanded and re-stained our back deck, pool deck and front porch. He’s very friendly, knowledgeable and met all expectations - and then some. All the furniture needed to be taken off the deck including a heavy grill and Mario not only helped to remove it, but came back a few days later (in between two of his other jobs) to help put it back - above and beyond! I would absolutely recommend him."

"Moises and his crew repaired water rotted wood in difficult locations and completely finished the garage to every detail from insulation to molding, as shown in pictures here. They thought of every detail that shows their pride over their work. Not only is their work top notch, but they are also easy to work with and very communicative through the whole process. I have already hired them for a second job."

"Every person Iâ ve come into contact with at Sebonac has been friendly and professional. For me personally, one of the most important things, and what Iâ ve had problems with in other companies, is communication. These guys pick up the phone when I call, and if they canâ t they immediately call back. Iâ ve worked with a lot of different companies through the years and their prices are fair and just overall I really like their attitude when it comes to problem solving or working through any issues I have. There good people and do good work."

"We requested quotes to "REPAIR OR REPLACE" our existing deck. We were very pleased that when Ryan and Tommy arrived and did a complete inspection over and under our deck they said repair, replace some boards and repaint. They provided a fair quote and time frame and completed the work on schedule. The entire experience has been a good one. The two man staff they provided, Rodney and Tony and Job Manage Tommy, were pleasant and professional. They worked continuously even during recent heat wave. We are very satisfied with R & Ds work quality and professionalism. Neighbors commented on work done and the young men doing the work. JOB WELL DONE!!!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Whether to paint or stain a deck depends on your personal preference for appearance and budget. Stain provides a natural look with a range of undertones, is typically less expensive, and may only require one coat, but it does not last as long as paint. Paint offers a sleeker finish with a virtually unlimited color palette. Both options will protect your deck from outdoor elements like rain, snow, and general wear and tear.

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. 

The proper and most comfortable height for a deck stair riser, also called a step, is between four and seven inches. A height of seven inches is often considered ideal for a strain-free step that minimizes the risk of trips and falls. While it is possible to have risers up to 12 inches, this height can be challenging for children, pets, or individuals with mobility issues. For optimal safety and comfort, pair a seven-inch riser with a tread depth (or run) of at least 10 to 12 inches. Always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements that differ from these general recommendations.

A deck doesn’t have to be perfectly level. Many pros even recommend a gentle slope to ensure proper drainage and increase longevity. The ideal gentle slope is about 1/8 to 1/4 inch per foot away from the property, leading water away from the home to prevent pooling and reduce the risk of damage. It also minimizes rot, mold, and other moisture-related problems. 

The best material for your deck depends on several factors, including your budget, location, aesthetic preferences, and the level of maintenance you’re willing to do. Wood decking, like redwood, ipe, cedar, and pine, lasts the longest, but it’s more expensive and requires more upkeep than composite and synthetic decking.
