"He was on time, professional, and got Job done in great timing. He kept his word, and did everything he said he would. I had big a grease stain on my deck and he got it out. Then he gave it time to dry, the next day he came back and stained my deck. It’s absolutely beautiful. Thank you Kleer Kote."

"From our very first phone contact, Dennis was courteous and professional. We arranged a date for him to see the damage and give  an estimate. He came out at the time we arranged and we discussed the problem and what he needed to do. A few days later he emailed a DETAILED  estimate and I agreed with the terms. We arranged a date for the work to be done. He arrived that day and completed the work. My ceiling looks like there was never any damage. He was neat and cleaned up as if he was never here.  I highly recommend Dennis and will definitely call him again. Thank you Dennis!!!

"I could not be happier with the outcome. His company name says it all. While our job was not a large project, he did it with complete professionalism, and I would imagine he would apply the same standards to any job he agrees to do. He was on time, cleaned up, and didn't call off in the middle of the job like some others have done! Highly recommend!"

Deck Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Applying too much sealer to a deck might seem like extra protection, but it can cause more harm than good. Wood is a porous material with a limited capacity to absorb liquids. When you go overboard with sealer, the excess can't soak in and instead forms a film on the surface. This leftover layer is prone to peeling, cracking, and trapping moisture, ultimately defeating the purpose of sealing in the first place. 

A wood deck requires annual cleaning and regular inspections for loose or broken boards, nails, and screws. It should be refinished by applying a stain or sealer every two to three years to protect the wood from water damage, rot, mildew, and sun fading. The exact frequency can depend on the climate and the deck's exposure to sun and moisture. If your deck is painted, it will need repainting approximately every 10 years. Signs that your deck needs refinishing include faded, splintering, or warping boards.

Building a deck without a permit could lead to fines for both the homeowner and the contractor. The exact penalties will depend on your state and municipal building laws. You might also be required to remove the deck and apply for a permit before you can build another. While it might be tempting to skip the permit to save a few bucks, it’ll cost you much more if you’re caught.

A deck doesn’t have to be perfectly level. Many pros even recommend a gentle slope to ensure proper drainage and increase longevity. The ideal gentle slope is about 1/8 to 1/4 inch per foot away from the property, leading water away from the home to prevent pooling and reduce the risk of damage. It also minimizes rot, mold, and other moisture-related problems. 

Before installing a deck, you must build a base for the deck to rest upon, often made of compacted soil or gravel. While gravel is an optional material, it helps with drainage. Some contractors also recommend installing a weed control membrane, which helps provide a solid foundation for the frame. In the case of an elevated deck, a pro will often lay down a concrete slab as a foundation.
