"Ed from Elite Pro was very responsive to come quote power washing our mobile home, shed and deck. He was able to quickly schedule our job. Ed kept me informed throughout the scheduling. Upon arrival he quickly got to work - had all the right power washing tools to get the job done. All looks wonderful! Thx Ed (and to his son who helped too!)"

"I am so pleased with the power washing job these guys did on my house. The north side had 15 years of lichens, moss and whatever else and it was a mess. The guys worked hard to get it cleaned off and it's now clean as a whistle as is the whole house. The customer service is over and above! I do not hesitate to recommend them!"

"Selene at Advanced Property Services did a wonderful job painting the inside of my new home. Selene was meticulous, professional, punctual, and affordable. Selene painted the whole inside of my house (literally)- bathroom, living room, all 3 of my bedrooms, kitchen, and dining room. I would recommend Advanced Property Services to anyone who is looking for a refreshing new start or to bring your old love to life again."

Deck Cleaning questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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 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.

No, you don’t need a permit to repair and replace a few boards on an existing deck. However, if you’re making structural changes to the deck or tearing down the old one and building a new one, you will likely need a permit. Check with your local municipality for the regulations and rules in your area, or ask a local contractor who builds decks for advice.
