"The deck was a complete disaster when I bought my house. I truly needed an exorcism. It was splintering, sun beaten and faded. Terry's crew came over, power washed the deck to a smooth surface, it restored the wood and then sprayed the deck. They showed up promptly for the work, were very efficient and I was stunned with how amazing my deck came out. Looked like a whole new deck. Will be hiring them again in the future. Amazing work."

"John came out and after looking at our deck,gave us a quote to wash and stain the deck. We felt very comfortable with him and did not want a second opinion..we said yes..He came out with worker and power washed the deck. Amazing how clean it became. We waited for weather to be dry and yesterday his crew came and stained the deck. They were very professional and the deck looks great. We would recommend Campbell Painting to anyone ."

"I hired John to fix some doors for me before the Christmas holiday. He came right over & gave me a decent estimate for the work I needed done & scheduled within a week. Even though he couldn't replace some parts due to no supplies at home warehouse stores, he still managed to do what needed to be done. Hopefully, he will come back & do some addt'l work for me in the future."

"Charley at Deck Rescue - Summit, did an outstanding job. My deck is decades old. It was grey and black looking and had mildew/mold on it. The lead-in to the deck steps was unfinished and jagged. The first day Charlie came out he reviewed what he was going to do. I asked about different options and he went through a lot of them. I had mentioned the problem with the jagged edge at the step lead-in and he suggested a solution, for which he would charge hourly. After we talked, he power washed and cleaned the deck. I wish I had taken before pictures, because this decades old wooden deck, looked like a new deck when he was finished. I really couldn't believe how great it looked, and this was just the washing and cleaning. Two days later Charley and his crew came out to stain the deck and repair the steps. He solved my problem with the steps beautifully - it looks perfect. Charley and his crew did not rush the job. They were very, very thorough. The final outcome is better than I could have reasonably expected. Charley was very professional and personable. I am glad I found the best company for the job."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

PVC decking tends to be cooler than composite because the material is less dense and absorbs less heat. However, it depends on the deck’s color. A dark-colored PVC deck may run hotter than a light-colored composite deck. If you’re concerned about your deck getting too hot, it’s best to stick to a light color such as beige or gray.

Yes, but ensuring the deck has a solid foundation with adequate footings is critical before building, as the weight of a sunroom will put significant pressure on the structure below. Even if your deck is properly constructed, it may not be able to handle the extra weight. While some basic, lightweight, prefabricated sunrooms can sit on a deck with a strong existing foundation without additional supports, in many cases, the foundation and joists will need reinforcement. It is always best to have a structural engineer perform an inspection to evaluate the deck's quality and structural integrity. A professional can help you decide if reinforcement is sufficient or if it's better to tear down the deck and start over.

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.

An above-ground pool with a deck can increase your home's value by as much as 4% to 7%, but it depends on your local climate, potential buyers, and the size and condition of your pool. Some buyers see a pool as a liability instead of a luxury, especially if it's at the end of its life span. In general, it's best to add a pool and deck to your property if it will bring you enjoyment—not because it raises the value of your home.

There are several methods for attaching stair stringers to a deck. The best way is to bolt the stringers to the deck joists using three carriage bolts in a triangular pattern. This method offers the sturdiest fit for stairs that won’t budge. Alternatively, attach the stringers to the deck rims using lag bolts or to the posts using adjustable slope hangers.
