"We are so happy with everything Brandon and his team have done for our property. We originally hired him for mowing, but because his prices were so reasonable, we decided to take him up on a full overhaul of our entire landscaping, which was a huge undertaking. We have several large flower beds that were overgrown with weeds, tons of dead tree branches and limbs that needed to come down, and many other overgrown areas. He went above and beyond on everything, and truly brought our patio, landscaping areas, and multiple walkways back to life. We feel so much better looking out our windows to our beautiful yard and we have Brandon and his hardworking team to thank for that. The first time we called him, he had someone here mowing with 25 minutes of hanging up the phone. He shows up when he says he will show up, works until everything is done, and never tried charging extra for anything, even when encountering larger problems than anticipated. Just an overall very honest and hardworking crew. We plan to retain Private and Professional Lawn Care for regular maintenance and will utilize them for all of our fall/spring clean up and other landscaping needs. Thank you so much, Brandon!"

"Andrew Wells has been a gift from God for my dire situation. I have an extremely old house which needs extensive repairs, and through Home Advisor's recommendation I hired Andrew Wells to repair numerous holes in the soffit to prevent bats and squirrels from entering my attic. So far, he has done an incredible job! I am so impressed by his honesty and devotion and reasonable prices that I intend to hire him for future repairs/work. He truly is a blessing to the field of contracting and I am most grateful that I found him through Home Advisor. Thank you!!!"

"Met me a week before, gave me an estimate 3 days later.  Was several hundred less than other estimates.  He was the only one that explained the process along with the estimate showing different materials.  He also explained the different materials and how long they would last along with treatment.  Showed up every morning it wasn't raining and told me hours and times he would be there.  Had a nice young man that helped who was also very courteous and pleasant.  Deck was completed a week before deadline and I absolutely love it.  Will hire for any other jobs I need without question."

Deck Cleaning questions, answered by experts

No. In most cases, it’s not colder or freezing temperatures that affect decking materials but the amount of moisture that seeps into the materials as a result. For example, wood decking material is more likely to suffer from rot or decay when exposed to excess moisture from snow or ice. An extreme change in temperature can cause wood to expand or contract, but only if it’s not properly treated beforehand.

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.

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.

Although composite decking is extremely durable, it’s also susceptible to extreme heat. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause fading, warping, and cracking. Composite also retains heat more than wood, which makes it dangerous to walk on in the summer. You can help prevent heat damage by only building with composite in shaded areas or using rugs to cover the hottest spots.

While the terms deck and porch are often used interchangeably, they are two distinct structures. A porch is a covered structure, usually attached to the front of a home, that offers protection from the elements. In contrast, a deck is an open, uncovered platform, often attached to the back or side of a home. Because porches have a roof, they typically require less maintenance than decks, but both features need regular cleaning and repairs to stay in good condition.
