"Sergio and the team installed my bathroom floor tile. They were very professional, diligent, and tidy. When they pulled up the old tile, they recognized the need to put down a primer sealer layer and did that, to make sure the new floor would not wobble. They did a quality job, were efficient and cleaned up completely after each day's work was done."

"Goni was good. On time did what he said he was going to do on the exterior of my house and windows. I will say he might have rushed at one point because some paint got on some bricks. Goni said he's going to come back in April to power wash, not sure why in April, but that's what he said. Either way he did a good job. If you're looking for the neatest painter on the exterior of your house he might not be your choice. That being said I will hire him again. Also he showed pictures of other jobs that he did that were very good and neat. I also found the price very reasonable. There was one person who offered to do it a little cheaper but still chose Goni because how he carried himself."

Deck Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Before installing any materials under the deck for removing moisture, you should perform some prep work on the ground. Work the dirt under the deck to create a grade away from the home. A grade of at least six inches for every 10 feet works well. Do not leave a gap between the dirt and the home’s foundation where water could pool. Once you or a contractor regrades the dirt under the deck, you then can add materials over the top.

Applying too much sealer to a deck might seem like extra protection, but it can cause more harm than good. Wood is a porous material with a limited capacity to absorb liquids. When you go overboard with sealer, the excess can't soak in and instead forms a film on the surface. This leftover layer is prone to peeling, cracking, and trapping moisture, ultimately defeating the purpose of sealing in the first place. 

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.

A random orbital sander is best for sanding a deck because it is easier to handle than other power sanders and is less likely to damage the wood. Most decks are made of types of softwood, so a gentler sanding process is essential to prevent permanent blemishes. For example, belt sanders can gouge softwoods.

Yes, snow should be removed from a deck to protect it from damage caused by moisture and heavy loads. Shovel the snow off of your deck regularly once it is more than four inches deep. Avoid using salt, which can damage your deck.
