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."

"John and his crew were easy to work with. He stuck to his quote, worked with us on payment, and worked with the vendors when there were any issues with material or timing. John always kept us in the loop in regards to when different stages of the project would be completed. He even worked with our neighbors since the deck and fence are up to the property line. I've already recommended John and Timeless Decks to a few friends and I definitely recommend him here!"

"Brian and his team did an amazing job at my house. They are extremely professional and they really go out of their way to make the customer happy. From the estimate, to the first day of work and throughout the entire project, Brian and his team were top notch. You can tell right away that Brian really cares about the job and his his customers. The whole team was very clean throughout the project. They showed up on time everyday. They were all very polite and their work is outstanding. My wife and I feel like we just got a new house when all the work was finished. I am definitely hiring Brian and his team again in the near future."

"Steve / EZ Deck built a 30 x 22 deck a 5 years ago using composite decking material. It still looks great today, and is solid. It included seating all the way around and a 3 feet white PVC fence with openings at 2 ends. The ground started to shift slightly and one board lifted. I called Steve and asked for a repair a week ago, he came back and fixed it for free. Excellent customer service."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Deck skirting shouldn’t touch the ground, especially if you have a wood deck, which is vulnerable to moisture. Ideally, you should leave at least 3/4 of an inch of space between the deck skirting and the ground for more ventilation. Pros also recommend that you incorporate about 1 square foot of space for ventilation for the underside of the deck to every 150 square feet of decking. Proper ventilation prevents mold growth and rot that can damage your deck.

Two coats of stain are ideal for the best protection and aesthetic appeal. However, if your decking is made of particularly dense hardwood, you may only need one coat. If you want an intense color, two coats are ideal.

Footings for ground-level decks need to be at least 12 inches deep, and some areas require them to be even deeper. A standard range for deck footings is anywhere from 12 to 48 inches. The minimum footing depth is determined by an area’s frost line and soil conditions. If you’re unsure how deep to install deck footings, check local building codes to find the minimum footing depth in your area. 

Staining and sealing the underside of a deck creates a moisture barrier but traps water in the boards, quickly leading to rot. No matter how well you seal the above deck, water still gets through via nails and screw heads on the surface. Allow this water to flow naturally under the deck, where it is routed through the drainage system.

Yes, you can build a deck over your outdoor HVAC unit, but you need to leave at least 5 feet of vertical clearance above the unit. If you don’t want your deck to be that high off the ground, you could build a floating deck in another part of your yard—again, as long as you leave at least 4 feet of horizontal space between the deck and your AC unit.
