"They responded the same day after posting the request for estimate. They came by at the end of the day, and gave an estimate and said they could do it 5 days later. The price seemed fair at $1,700 for three men. They arrived at 8 and were done by about 4:00. The trees were dead and so could not be climbed. Jony figured out how to do this and brought the trees down safely. The tree trunks greater than 10 inches were stacked neatly. The rest was chipped onto the ground around the very large tree, which Jony scaled to cut down two large branches."

"Matt did a fantastic job. Before he started he said "you won't recognize it as the same deck when I'm done" and his beautiful and professional work proved that true. Matt is responsive, returning our texts or calls in a reasonable time if not immediately. He is organized, cleaned up his work area each time, and did a thorough job. His price was extremely reasonable. In addition he is a genuinely nice person. We've already hired him for additional work. Would give him more than 5 stars if possible."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

In general, you need a footing at each corner of your deck, and within 8 feet of each other. So, how many you need depends on the size and shape of your deck, plus any local building codes. It also depends on factors like the load capacity of your soil and the weight of your deck. You can find a footing calculator online or contact a pro for support.

Materials for a second-story deck must be weather- and rot-resistant, though the specific choices will largely be determined by your budget and style preference. Pressure-treated wood is on the lower end of the price scale, but it can be customized and stained the way you like it. Composite, on the other hand, is pricier for installation and has fewer options for customization, but you’ll save money and time in the long run because it requires little maintenance.

To maximize the utility of space under a deck, it’s important to keep this area dry and clean. One way to prevent the area from becoming too wet is to install an under-deck draining system. This affordable home upgrade channels water away from the deck and provides usable space for storage or a functional area below a second-story deck. Not only will this be a useful maintenance upgrade, it can boost your home’s property value.

The best way to clean your decking is to clear debris from the gaps between the boards, sweep the surface, rinse it, apply cleaner, rinse again, and let it dry fully. A homemade deck cleaner made of two gallons of warm water and 1/2 cup vinegar is a simple cleaning solution for both wood and composite decking. You can sprinkle baking soda on any spots with mold or mildew, then scrub the area and rinse clean. 

Ultimately, overapplication of stain can compromise the deck's appearance, durability, and longevity. It may result in an uneven finish, with excess stain pooling, dripping, or drying into thick patches. It can also obscure the wood's natural grain and texture, detracting from the desired aesthetic. Moreover, excessive staining may not fully penetrate the wood, leading to poor adhesion and premature wear. Additionally, thick layers of stain are prone to peeling, cracking, and blistering as they struggle to bond with the surface.
