"We needed maintenance for our recently purchased home, which included cleanup of hedges, removal of dead and stray bushes, and mulch placed in all flower beds. The Services was quick, thorough, and professional. Formal contract signed in advance of work done. We will use them again. The only negative was the communication when actually trying to schedule the service."

They did another deck on the block and when I asked for him to look at mine to estimate it he did right away and within 2 days he was on my deck to work ASAP and it came out great!!! I am very pleased with them!!! I would most definitely recommend them! I am already looking into another home project soon and would definitely use them again. Thank you again."

"I negotiated the price with Nick, whose quality of materials and scope of work was superior to his competitors.   M y wife had reservations about spending money on re-conditioning the garage floor, but she was sold when Nick agreed to throw in the painting of two walls in the garage.  His workers, Bob and Bob, were consummate professionals and gentlemen, who responded patiently to my wife's requests--which impressed me considerably given the fact that she is an artist with training in fine arts and pays attention to every visual detail.  She is very hard to please, but when the floor was done, she could not have been more satisfied.  I have more than one doctoral degree but am utterly mechanically challenged and often rely on outside contractors to deal with all aspects of my home maintenance and improvement.  I always do my homework and try to get the best of the best, usually with more than modest success.  Nick and his team at IPaint stand head and shoulders above all the rest, matched only by my cousin who is an all-around handyman and mechanical whiz with an artistic eye who is recently retired.  If I have any reservation about the work done on my garage floor by IPaint, it is that I feel a little guilty about having such a beautiful garage floor that I jokingly tell admiring neighbors that we plan to eat off it.
Overall, I could not be more pleased!

"Excellent work and reasonable pricing. Andres and his team were very professional and meticulous. The deck came out great and the overall painting looks flawless. As Andres promised, the preparation was well done and had produced great results. His team was careful in protecting my property and were very friendly and accommodating in handling all of my requests. They really went out of their way to earn my satisfaction. Would highly recommend."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

The best direction for a gate to swing depends on its location and purpose, but swinging inward is the general rule. An inward swing is often considered safer, prevents the gate from opening into public spaces like a sidewalk, and may be required by local building codes.

There are exceptions and specific considerations. If your property is on a slope, an inward swing might not be possible. For a deck gate, it's safest to have it swing away from any steps. In a backyard, the direction can be a matter of preference, though an inward swing can be helpful when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

Regardless of direction, ensure the gate can open fully without hitting any objects or blocking spaces. While an inward swing is standard, a gate that can swing both in and out offers the most flexibility if your setup allows for it.

PVC decking can get slippery when wet because it’s made from plastic. However, composite and wood decking can also be slippery when wet. It’s best to wear shoes with grippy soles when walking on a wet deck, no matter the material, and to be extra cautious not to slip and fall down.

Homeowners should build their floating decks at least 18 inches off the ground. Having it at this height will allow for better airflow underneath and help prevent moisture-related problems like warping or rot. That being said, local guidelines for deck heights may vary depending on where you live.

Wood decks need to be replaced every 10 to 15 years on average. Natural wood is highly vulnerable to infiltration and damage from moisture, which can occur rapidly due to exposure to outdoor elements. You can protect your deck and maximize its lifespan by sealing it every year or two.

When sourced responsibly, the most sustainable wood decking options are timber trees like redwood, pine, Douglas fir, Nootka cypress, and Western red cedar. These tree species are fast-growing with low carbon emissions. Plus, most timber woods make durable deck materials because of their resistance to rot and decay over time.
