"MC power washed my house and cleaned the gutters. They were professional, efficient, and provided excellent customer service. The house looked great. There was an area of the gutters that was not draining properly after the cleaning. I let MC know of the issue expecting that they would respond in the next day or two. That same day and shortly after the rain slowed down, they were at the house taking care of the issue. All is good! Would highly recommend!"

"We are very pleased with Jaime and the high quality of his work. We contacted him in August and made an appointment for an estimate. He arrived at the agreed time and he spent over an hour assessing our needs. For our deck work, he compiled all measurements and sketched the plan for the new steps paired with the modified layout. We initially thought we might need roofing shingle repairs but Jaime convinced us it was not needed. We scheduled Jaime to start on September 16, expecting the work to be done within 2 weeks. Jaime arrived promptly on the start date and was onsite every day until the work was completed, weather permitting. Jaime and his brother performed all work. Jaime brought all materials and tools to our house and cut all boards as needed onsite. All scrap was removed promptly. During the job activities, Jaime showed us other carpentry problems (rotting window frames and deck boards) which we had Jaime perform in addition to the original tasks. Jaime completed all work within the expected timeframe. Jaime is an extremely professional and skilled carpenter. We highly recommend him and won't hesitate to rehire him for future work."

"They stained my deck with a solid stain. They did an excellent job of taping-off and covering everything to insure that the stain did not end-up where was suppose to be. They cleaned-up after themselves. They were professional and quite. I under estimated the about of stain and coat that the deck needed, but they were great about it."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Most building codes require that spindles or balusters on deck and stair railings be spaced no more than four inches apart. This safety standard, often called the '4-inch sphere rule,' is designed to prevent small children or pets from slipping through the railing. A good way to visualize this is that a 4-inch sphere should not be able to pass between two spindles. For the same safety reason, the space between the bottom rail and the deck floor should also be no more than four inches. As a general guideline, professionals often install three balusters per foot of railing. However, since specific requirements can vary by location, it is crucial to check your local building codes to ensure compliance before starting your project.

Your deck may pop, and your neighbor’s deck may not for a number of reasons. Whether or not a deck pops will depend on how it was made, the conditions it’s exposed to, and the materials. Improper spacing is a common reason for increased pressure between deck boards. Moisture penetration is another.

To flatten a cupped deck board, start by ensuring it’s dry. Then, try flipping the board over so the cupped side faces down and reattach it. If that’s not possible, you can use screws to pull it tighter to the joists or plane the edges slightly to reduce the cup. It’s best to replace severely cupped boards.

Choices include wood, composite, and hardwoods, each with unique benefits.

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.
