The house was cleaned and looks good. I had to remind him about the shed. Then again about the deck. He had to call to confirm that the deck was included. The call confirmed only half the deck, so that is what he did. He told me I would have to reschedule to get the rest done. When I called,...
My wife and I had some ideas and roughed out some basic designs using a deck design software package. I contacted Mike through local references and he met us at our home to inspect the old deck and go over our ideas and requirements. Mike contributed some very insightful suggestions and...

"I had the pleasure of being introduced to Cesar from CQ Home Improvements Corp. a few years ago and have never looked to hire another company for any of the services they provide! They have provided a range of services for us, including electrical work, home renovations, and general repairs. Their quality of work is exceptional and has always exceeded my expectations. The craftsmanship is evident in every detail - from custom shelving projects to hardwood floor refinishing, to electrical panel repairs - I have always been thrilled with the results! Their team is highly professional, always arriving on time. They are courteous, and take the time to explain the process and always patiently answer all my questions. Communication is immediate and seamless throughout every project, and Cesar is always available to address any of my concerns. His transparency always makes me feel confident in their work and his rates are always fair. Timeliness is another strong point. Every project has been completed within the agreed timeframe, with no significant delays. I am also impressed with how organized and clean they keep the work areas. At the end of each day, they make sure everything is tidy, which minimizes disruption to my daily routine. There were a few unexpected challenges with our outdated electrical panel that needed replacing. However, Cesar handled these issues efficiently, providing practical solutions without compromising the timeline or budget. Overall, my experience with this company is always outstanding. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and commitment to quality make for an stress-free and enjoyable process whenever we hire them. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and high-quality home improvement services. Five stars all the way!"

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.
