"X-Power Washing, who power washed my house, deck, fence, outdoor furniture and deck significantly exceeded all my expectations on every level. I received a very high level of performance for the price I paid which was more than fair for the exceptionally high quality of service that I received. I am now a steady customer of X-Press Power Washing and will hire them back on regularly scheduled dates to maintain the beautiful , clean, highly professionally maintained look of my home. I will receive a high rate of return at point of sale of my house on my investment in the very fair cost of its maintenance. X-Press Power Washing thoroughly, carefully, and gently washed every surface they touched making my house siding, windows, deck, and fence look brand new. They washed everything in sight returning everything to exactly where they found them! They took care of some details that I didnâ t even think of, and I am extremely detail minded. Above all, I felt extremely comfortable with X-Press Power â s people , Melvin and Mario , as they went about my home working and found them extremely reliable with excellent customer interaction skills. X Press gave me a detailed and very fair quote for considering the exceptionally high quality work that they delivered. I have my high quality, long-term professional each of whom i engage for my general contracting needs, landscaping, automatic water sprinkler maintenance, arborist care- and now I have a go-to power washing company, X-Press Power Washing, for all my future power washing needs Thank you !Melvin and Mario, May God bless you and your work."

"This was the first time we had our deck power washed and stained by Rob. It hasn't looked this good since it was built. He also replaced some broken lattice work and everything he did was in a very skillful manner. We've already asked Rob to do other jobs for us around the house. We highly recommend him."

"Moises and his crew repaired water rotted wood in difficult locations and completely finished the garage to every detail from insulation to molding, as shown in pictures here. They thought of every detail that shows their pride over their work. Not only is their work top notch, but they are also easy to work with and very communicative through the whole process. I have already hired them for a second job."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

The proper and most comfortable height for a deck stair riser, also called a step, is between four and seven inches. A height of seven inches is often considered ideal for a strain-free step that minimizes the risk of trips and falls. While it is possible to have risers up to 12 inches, this height can be challenging for children, pets, or individuals with mobility issues. For optimal safety and comfort, pair a seven-inch riser with a tread depth (or run) of at least 10 to 12 inches. Always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements that differ from these general recommendations.

Whether you need a permit depends on the deck design and local regulations. Most areas mandate a building permit if the deck is over a specific height or if it's attached to a pre-existing structure. Shorter, freestanding decks may not require a permit, but you should check with local zoning ordinances and your homeowners association for specifics.

In the majority of cases, you don’t need regulatory permission or permits to remove decking components and materials. However, the exception is if you live in or near a wildlife conservation area, which could require permits and consent prior to beginning the demolition. Check with a local regulatory agency for more information.

You can use a few different tactics to prevent your deck gate from sagging. Aside from using strong, rot-resistant woods, introducing a diagonal element—such as a tension rod or solid piece of wood to act as a brace—across the gate will offer better support. You can also use rigid joists to prevent the gate from sagging.

You do not have to dig footers for a deck as long as it meets local code and holds up to weather in your area. If you live somewhere that experiences high winds and earthquakes, you may need to dig for your deck posts. Deck blocks, post anchors with base plates, and helical pile systems are the three no-dig deck post options you can choose from if local code permits.
