W & A Property ManagementRoy Johnson painted and repaired my deck..The painting was excellent and the crew also repaired damaged wood boards. I strongly recommend Roy Johnson for all areas of carpentry..
Repair was done quickly!
David at Old Steam did a great job building our deck. He picked up and completed the deck build I started but was unable to complete. He is a real pro. David was very easy to speak with, fair and honest. He was responsive. He communicated each step of the way. He built a quality,...
The crew did a fantastic job on our deck! The whole job was complete in 4 days! Joe was very responsive with communication and prompt/on-time! We love our new deck!
Legacy DecksDerek was on time both for his estimate and for the work. He did an excellent job spending quite a bit of time to make sure the deck was thoroughly cleaned. We've had it done in the past by two other cleaners and his work is by far the best. We will certainly call him again for this service.

"Matt installed a new front door on my house and new flooring throughout my living areas.

While the terms deck and porch are often used interchangeably, they are two distinct home features. Porches offer a roof that protects from the elements when coming and going from the house. Generally, porches are on the front of your home. On the other hand, decks are generally built in the backyard of a home and offer no roof or protection from the elements, like rain or snow. Porches typically require less maintenance and upkeep thanks to the roof, but both features require regular cleaning and repairs to maintain good condition.
There are a few ways to make your deck look new without professional power washing. First, you can use either store-bought cleaners or dish soap and water to mop your deck regularly to clean off accumulated dirt. To clean your deck and remove mold, mix two gallons of warm water with a ½ cup of distilled white vinegar or apple cider vinegar, rinse the area, and then scrub with a stiff-bristled broom.
The cost to professionally pressure wash your deck is $150 on average. This cost can range from $100 to $600, depending on the size of your deck and its condition.
For an average deck of about 300 square feet, you can expect to pay around $100. However, if you have a spacious 1,000-square-foot deck or more, expect that cost to be closer to $300 to $400. Likewise, if it’s been a long time since you deep cleaned your deck, the deck professional might need extra time and to use deck-specific detergent, which will increase the overall cost.
You should have your deck professionally cleaned twice a year—once in the spring and once in the fall. A springtime cleaning wipes away grime and mold that accumulated during the wet winter months, making it sparkly clean for summer use. Likewise, cleaning your deck in the fall allows you to wash away grease and leftover mess from the fun summer months rather than letting them soak into your deck over the winter.
The cost to build a deck is $8,025 on average. However, this cost can range anywhere from $1,500 to $22,000, depending on multiple factors, such as size, materials, and deck type. You can expect to pay $30 to $60 per square foot when building a new deck.
Cedar decks are often the most cost-effective option, ranging from $4 to $9 per square foot for materials. However, pressure-treated decking, which is resistant to rot, is more expensive, ranging from $15 to $25 per square foot for materials.
From average costs to expert advice, get all the answers you need to get your job done.
Cedar is a popular decking material, best known for its natural wooden look and resistance to rot. So, how much does a cedar deck cost? Find out in this guide.
Vinyl is a durable and relatively inexpensive choice of decking material. Your vinyl deck cost will depend on labor, the deck size, and more.
Building a composite deck can increase your home’s appeal and value. Composite decking costs depend on the size of your deck, the materials, labor, and more.
