"The young man from Above & Beyond (found under handyman)  company showed up to give me an estimate. He was very professional and polite, problem was after he quoted me a price and we set a date, he never came. I had to call him at least twice to even get a call back and the third phone call, from me, was to ask if he wasn't going to do work to let me know so I could find someone else. He did finally get back to me to let me know he couldn't do it. All in all it was a waste of both of our time.

"On short notice I gave A Full Blast a call to have my home power washed. They scheduled me quickly and did a wonderful job! I was amazed at the look of my home, once it was complete. The siding and gutters look new. I will definitely have A Full Blast come back to power wash my home again."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

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. 

PVC decking can get slippery when wet because it’s made from plastic. However, composite and wood decking can also be slippery when wet. It’s best to wear shoes with grippy soles when walking on a wet deck, no matter the material, and to be extra cautious not to slip and fall down.

Homeowners should build their floating decks at least 18 inches off the ground. Having it at this height will allow for better airflow underneath and help prevent moisture-related problems like warping or rot. That being said, local guidelines for deck heights may vary depending on where you live.

There are several perks to building a deck around your inground or above-ground pool. Specifically, building a deck around a pool gives you space to lounge and sunbathe, easy access to monitor kids in the pool, extra room for entertaining and dining, an anti-slip surface for post-pool fun, and enhanced aesthetics.

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.
