"Ryan was promoted, professional and thorough. Our decks are 30 years old, they had been neglected for last few years. Ryan and his dad brought our decks back to look like new. Highly recommend Jayce for your deck restoration project!"

"I found out about Complete Painting and Repair through a coupon promotion on Angie's List.  The price was good ($250 for 8 hours of the painter's work, plus the cost of supplies).  Scott returned my call promptly and was very pleasant and professional.  The coupon covered the cost of power washing the fence and deck, and then painting the fence.  He also offered to paint the deck for an additional $50 and I took him up on that as well, since my back was acting up.   
I'm very pleased with the work -- the fence and deck look like new.  The fence is that basic wooden lattice, which can be a real pain to paint (I painted the fence myself a few years ago and was dreading having to do it again).  
I'd definitely hire Complete Painting and Repair again.

"Dave and a co-worker came out the day I called.  It was a rainy afternoon and I had a huge hole in the roof of my camp.  They were willing to fix it that night but a family was renting the camp.  So Dave came out early the next day and had it completed by 10 a.m.  The roof problem caused a problem in the bathroom ceiling which he then came out and fixed a few days later.  He was completely professional, prompt and very, very helpful.

"Boone's came out and did a great job. They were communicative about scheduling and timing, materials needed, etc.
The deal purchased did not include railings, which was made clear upon purchase and as soon as they arrived to power wash the deck. My deck was also over the size limit. This cost me $400 on top of the $199 for the deal I purchased.
They powerwashed the deck very very well, and then stained it equally as well. It looks great.

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Yes, transforming a deck into a sunroom is an absolute possibility. Building a sunroom involves framing in the deck area with walls, adding windows, and affixing a roof. This project is not an easy task, but it does provide a stylish addition to your house. Not all deck designs support this type of renovation project, so consult a professional deck builder before beginning.

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.

Decks are generally more expensive to build because they require elevating and railings. The difference between decks and patios is that decks are elevated, while patios are usually on the ground level. Plus, decks are usually made of wood and need more maintenance than most patios. However, decks and patios serve the same purpose, providing outdoor space for you to enjoy.

Deck skirting shouldn’t touch the ground, especially if you have a wood deck, which is vulnerable to moisture. Ideally, you should leave at least 3/4 of an inch of space between the deck skirting and the ground for more ventilation. Pros also recommend that you incorporate about 1 square foot of space for ventilation for the underside of the deck to every 150 square feet of decking. Proper ventilation prevents mold growth and rot that can damage your deck.

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.
