"We are in the middle of repairing our lawn which was destroyed by grubs and moles. Max has been treating and seeding it. It is looking better each day. He hasn't finished, but I have no doubt that it will be wonderful when he's done."

"Gabrielle is extremely professional, knowledgeable, and reliable. We recently needed repairs on two of our new kitchen cabinets, and after contacting him, he was able to come by within hours to assess the issue and complete the repairs the very next day. His workmanship was exceptional, and the cabinets now look perfect. We truly appreciated his responsiveness, attention to detail, and commitment to quality. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a skilled and dependable carpenter."

King Painting is always on call for carpentry, power washing and interior/exterior painting among many other things. If I need anything done to my home he always makes time and is quick along with efficient. I have lived locally and he is the most dependable person I have come across which is why I have stuck with him for nearly a decade. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

"Considering painting, spackling or home improvement, look no further than Pride. Brian, Penny, and the crew are all personable and professional. Brian is a true artist with a brush who insists upon perfection and customer satisfaction. His attention to detail is just the icing on the cake. Did I mention the little extras he threw in without an additional charge? I rely on a lot of reviews when I research items or contractors, and every review I read about Pride was better then the last, and I found them to be 100% accurate. They certainly live up to the name of their company."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

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.

Most building codes require that railing spindles (also known as balusters) on decks or stairs be spaced no more than four inches apart. This safety standard is often called the '4-inch sphere rule,' which means a sphere with a 4-inch diameter should not be able to pass through the opening between balusters. This rule is in place to prevent small children and pets from slipping through the railing. For the same reason, the space between the bottom rail and the deck or floor surface should also be no more than four inches. As a general guideline, professionals often install three balusters per foot of railing. However, since specific requirements can vary by location, it is essential to check your local building codes to ensure compliance before starting your project.

Spindles on a deck may also be called balusters or pickets. While not as important to the structural support of the deck as the rail posts, they play a critical role in ensuring the deck is safe to use by closing in large gaps in the railing. For this reason, balusters must be no more than 4 inches away from one another.

It’s important to make sure the wood on a new deck is properly seasoned. Seasoning a deck is simple: Once you build it (or have a pro do so), just leave it alone so it can acclimate to the environment. If you don’t give the deck proper seasoning time before staining, the stain can lock in any lingering moisture and cause mold, rot, and other moisture issues down the road. Give the wood at least four to eight weeks to season before you stain.

While eco-friendly decking, also called composite decking, is a win for the environment because it consists of recycled materials, it has trade-offs. These sustainable options often come with steeper price tags, lack natural wood's warm look, and can become uncomfortably hot under full sun. Some composite materials can also become slick when wet, posing a potential hazard.
