"ALDO came in check to see the work that needed to be done and the next he showed up did the job clean up afterward. Everything was done in a professional matter. Just like the service of ALDO Handyman"

"We recently had SwiftBuild Roofers refinish the roof on our 1st floor, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the results. From start to finish, Chris was incredibly responsive and stayed true to his word every step of the way. The work was completed efficiently, and the team was super polite and professional throughout the entire process. Another thing that really stood out to us was how thoroughly they cleaned up after the job—leaving no mess behind, just a beautifully finished roof. It’s rare to find that level of care and attention to detail these days. We will absolutely recommend SwiftBuild Roofers to our friends and won’t hesitate to reach out to Chris again if we need any future work done on the rest of our roof. Great service all around!"

Deck Cleaning questions, answered by experts

It is definitely worth sanding a deck to ensure the wood absorbs new stain. Sanding a deck removes the outer layers of aging wood, allowing the stain to penetrate. It also gives a fresh look to the entire surface as part of the deck refinishing process. Without sanding, your stain or sealant is less likely to absorb into the wood. While sanding a deck is a time-intensive project, the rewards are noticeable and long-lasting.

Pressure-treated wood contains preservatives that give the material internal protection from rot and pests. Untreated lumber won’t last more than a few years unless you choose a more expensive wood, like cedar, that naturally stands up well to moisture. Composite decking can outlast wood but is more expensive and doesn’t look as natural. Keep in mind that you’ll need to seal any exterior wood product to protect it from the elements and other forms of external damage.

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.

Most building codes list a minimum width of 36 inches and a maximum height of 7¾ inches. However, for the most comfort and spaciousness, you’ll want to aim for a width of at least 48 inches and a height of 7 inches. Again, it’s always a good idea to base your numbers off steps that you already use comfortably.

Your deck may look or feel fuzzy after pressure washing because the high-pressure spray tears some wood fibers as it removes the outer layer of dead and discolored wood. This fuzzy effect is a normal part of the pressure-washing process and will go away on its own in a few weeks. You can opt to spot-sand your deck if you’d like to remove it more quickly.
