"I have hired the INEX crew to replace the floor and top of the railing on my deck. They did a great job. Gave me a very reasonable price. Showed up on time and finished job in one day. Ron takes great pride in his work and his costumers. They are coming back in few weeks to power wash and stain my deck. I am very happy with the results and definitely hire them again. I highly recommend this company. Great work guys !!! Thank you !!"

"Hired G&R to fix up my deck, stain it, and paint a shed. The work involved replacing all of the horizontal hand rails, and tightening the floor boards. G&R stained the entire deck by hand (including the lattice work). Gave me a good price and stayed with that price. The deck was 35 years old, but you couldn't tell by looking at it now. My neighbor hired them to do some landscaping work after seeing them work on my property. Willie was easy to work with. Would definitely hired them again."

"I had my deck done two years ago but the original contractors that installed it did not install a staircase. Everything backyards came in and installed a wooden staircase with a lattice under the deck. They were very thorough and quick, the job was done within two days"

Since buying our home last year, we've had work done by P M Quality painting twice now.  They are professional, responsive, on-time, neat, and do great work.  They have painted every inch of our 2300 square foot home and their precision and attention to detail is impressive.  What compelled me to write a review though was that I pulled into my driveway today and noticed one of the crew members had taken the time to put a piece of cardboard under his van because it was leaking oil.  This is not something I asked him to do but have had vendors in the past leave ugly oil stains that were a headache to deal with afterward.  The fact that he had the foresight and consideration to do this really made a positive impression on me.  Needless to say, this mindfulness carries into their work as well.  I recommend these guys to anyone and will actually kind of miss them now that I have nothing left to paint!  Of all the vendors I've worked with in the past year, these guys are hands down my favorite.

"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

Yes, pressure washing a wood deck can be a good idea as it effectively lifts ingrained dirt, mold, and mildew, improving the deck's appearance and longevity. However, it must be done carefully, as it's easy to damage the wood, especially softwoods. To pressure wash safely, use a lower pressure setting and a wide, 40-degree fan pattern nozzle (often white). Keep the nozzle at least a foot away from the wood surface and maintain constant motion, avoiding hovering in one spot to prevent gouging.

Building a deck is often worth the investment, not only because it provides more utility to your yard and gives you more space to entertain but also because decks tend to add value to your home. Keep in mind that second-story decks often require concrete footings, which means they will bump up your property taxes, while decks built on the first story generally don’t require a permanent foundation and won’t affect your taxes. Even with the tax increase, decks are usually a good investment in the long run.

The overhang, or nosing, of deck steps is another area that will be covered in building code requirements. The noses on your deck steps should have a minimum overhang of ¾ inch. For safety, usability, and code compliance, the nosing of deck steps should not extend past 1¼ inches.

When installing deck boards, screws are generally a better option than nails. Screws offer superior holding strength over time, keeping the boards securely in place. In contrast, nails are more likely to pop out, which can create a tripping hazard. While you can use either, we recommend using 3-inch galvanized deck screws. To minimize the risk of cracking the wood, it's a good practice to drill small pilot holes before driving the screws into the deck joists.

The best base materials for a ground-level or floating deck are typically gravel and crushed stone (also known as landscaping rocks). These options are inexpensive, provide excellent drainage, prevent weeds, and help minimize moisture buildup, which reduces shifting and rotting. For added stability and to evenly distribute the weight, you can use concrete deck blocks or pavers. While more expensive, concrete blocks and pavers offer a sturdier base than gravel or crushed stone alone.
