"X-Power Washing, who power washed my house, deck, fence, outdoor furniture and deck significantly exceeded all my expectations on every level. I received a very high level of performance for the price I paid which was more than fair for the exceptionally high quality of service that I received. I am now a steady customer of X-Press Power Washing and will hire them back on regularly scheduled dates to maintain the beautiful , clean, highly professionally maintained look of my home. I will receive a high rate of return at point of sale of my house on my investment in the very fair cost of its maintenance. X-Press Power Washing thoroughly, carefully, and gently washed every surface they touched making my house siding, windows, deck, and fence look brand new. They washed everything in sight returning everything to exactly where they found them! They took care of some details that I didnâ t even think of, and I am extremely detail minded. Above all, I felt extremely comfortable with X-Press Power â s people , Melvin and Mario , as they went about my home working and found them extremely reliable with excellent customer interaction skills. X Press gave me a detailed and very fair quote for considering the exceptionally high quality work that they delivered. I have my high quality, long-term professional each of whom i engage for my general contracting needs, landscaping, automatic water sprinkler maintenance, arborist care- and now I have a go-to power washing company, X-Press Power Washing, for all my future power washing needs Thank you !Melvin and Mario, May God bless you and your work."

"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."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

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.

The best paver for your pool deck depends on your budget, style, and how much maintenance you’re willing to invest. Granite is one of the best low-cost pavers for pool decks. It’s very slip-resistant and durable, too, making it a top pick. Travertine is a high-quality material that resists freeze-thaw cycles, looks stunning, and won’t get hot in the summer. The only downside to travertine is that it costs more than granite.

Staining and sealing the underside of a deck creates a moisture barrier but traps water in the boards, quickly leading to rot. No matter how well you seal the above deck, water still gets through via nails and screw heads on the surface. Allow this water to flow naturally under the deck, where it is routed through the drainage system.

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.

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.
