"Derek was very knowledge about what was needed for the deck which was not just the stain, but what the weather should be when staining -- both the work but the weather of the next couple of days as the stain dried. He was professional, knowledgeable and friendly. He came back a couple of days after the staining. to return my furniture to the deck,, as I was unable to do that. I highly recommend him."

Customers say: Quality work

"We used Hugo and Polanco Brothers last April for a Spring Cleanup, and we were in desperate need for one this season, but had to wait until June to get it done. We called him to return to do the job again and we have to say he continues to provide the Best Landscape Maintenance Experience Imaginable. There was a tree that needed to be removed this time, as well as a major clean up and lawn care in the front and back yards. They worked non stop for three hours and made the property look as if we had just moved in. An INCREDIBLE job. They were completely professional, prompt, and thorough. They did little things we didn't even ask for, like move our firewood pile, remove all debris, and make everything so neat and clean, it was stunning. And this, all for exactly the price that was quoted in the estimate. WHICH WAS INCREDIBLY LOW for the amount of work. The value / cost ratio was first rate. You don't get this kind of friendly and expert service for this kind of price. Never once did he try to up sell us, or suggest something that we hadn't asked for. We will NEVER use anyone else. They are absolutely the best at what they do. You CANNOT do wrong if you choose Hugo and The Polanco Brothers."

"It all started with a cedar wood deck that was rotting in several places. Because of his excellent reputation, I asked John Mignone of Timeless decks to come by and quote what it would take to repair the deck. After looking at the deck, John was able to show me that there were many more problem areas on the deck that needed urgent attention. I decided that it was time to replace the deck with one made from the new engineered materials. We liked the design of the old deck and asked John to quote the replacement. John came back with what was a very fair quote for ripping out the old deck and installing the new deck. We did request one significant change from the old deck and that was a cable railing system by a company called Feeney from California. Even though he had not worked with this railing company before, John was able to handle the logistics of defining the material requirements, getting the product in and installing it, at a reasonable additional cost. I asked John if he could also replace the rotting cedar wood fence around the pool pump and filter area. He quoted us a low maintenance fence that blended in very well with the pavers that we have around the pool. The fence was installed without any hitch at a fair price. My brick walkway to the house was also a problem because some bricks had shifted and they could possibly cause a person to trip and fall, a liability issue. I asked John if he knew anybody who could replace the walkway. It turns out that he had learned masonry skills from a master, his father. So, considering how well the other parts of our project had gone, I decided to go ahead with John’s proposal to replace the brick walkway and front stoop with new pavers. We agreed on a price and the new walkway was installed after we selected the pavers that we liked and the pattern that we wanted. The walkway is wide and level now and it looks 100% better than what we had there before. Overall, John was very easy to work with and the new deck and railing look beautiful. The pool area fence is no longer an eyesore, and the walkway actually has some real curb appeal. The first impression of friends that have come by has been “Wow, your new deck and walkway look great.” Needless to say, we are very pleased with the way the projects were done and we would recommend Timeless Decks to anyone."

"After agreeing with a fair estimate on Wednesday, Brian and team promptly completed the job on Friday. They painted my cathedral ceiling after repairing numerous nail holes. They did an outstanding job. They were very precise and neat and finished the job in several hours. I would hire his services again ."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

What goes under your floating deck depends on your preferences. Some homeowners put landscaping fabric underneath their decks to prevent weeds from popping up through the boards. Others choose to build a floating deck over grass or gravel. However, it’s best not to set your deck directly on the ground. Instead, set your deck on blocks to keep it elevated enough to prevent moisture from rotting the wood.

Applying too much sealer to a deck might seem like extra protection, but it can cause more harm than good. Wood is a porous material with a limited capacity to absorb liquids. When you go overboard with sealer, the excess can't soak in and instead forms a film on the surface. This leftover layer is prone to peeling, cracking, and trapping moisture, ultimately defeating the purpose of sealing in the first place. 

When staining a deck, don’t skip surface prep, avoid staining damp or dirty boards, and don’t apply stain in extreme heat, cold, or wet conditions. Never overload the wood with a stain, as too much can cause tackiness or peeling. Also, don’t forget to test a small area first to ensure the color and finish look right.

How long it takes to install composite decking depends on the size of the decking material, the skills of the person installing the deck, the number of people helping, and how much prep work needs to be done before you can begin. Generally speaking, it takes anywhere from a few days to several weeks to build a composite deck.

The cost to build a deck around a pool typically ranges from $3,000 to $12,000, depending on the size, material, and whether you tackle the build yourself. Most people pay an average of $5,000 for their pool deck project. Hiring a pro to build a pool will cost you more for labor, but it will be worth it to ensure a safe and secure installation.
