"Amazingly fast, responsive, and professional. My lawn mower broke and I let my lawn go through the winter, but something needed to get done. Montiel's Yard Maintenance LLC were the first to respond. In fact, they came out the same day I inquired, and mowed my lawn in the same visit! Not going with anyone else. I'm a happy customer!"

"Bradley is great to work with - he's personable, professional, and good at his job.  My ground floor deck was destroyed in an ice storm year ago and removed.  Had Bradley and his team rebuild that deck using artificial wood.  The upper floor deck was intact, but in poor shape.  I intended to have them replace only the flooring, but Bradley pointed out several structural deficiencies and convinced me we needed to rebuild the entire deck.  The expense was daunting, but having a reliable structure that is likely to outlast me, and never having to resurface it again makes it worthwhile.  The pump house was just old and falling apart.  Bradley and his crew tore down the old structure and build a new one without any disruption in service.
All of the old material was hauled away, and they did a pretty good job of cleaning up after themselves, though I did have to clear some debris after the un-used materials were picked up by the hardware store.

"Went well. Also pressure washed concrete steps to show what driveway would look like if we want it done. Now we do! My roof was pretty bad from living under many fir trees. Rob made it look better than it has in many years. Thanks!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

The proper and most comfortable height for a deck stair riser, also called a step, is between four and seven inches. A height of seven inches is often considered ideal for a strain-free step that minimizes the risk of trips and falls. While it is possible to have risers up to 12 inches, this height can be challenging for children, pets, or individuals with mobility issues. For optimal safety and comfort, pair a seven-inch riser with a tread depth (or run) of at least 10 to 12 inches. Always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements that differ from these general recommendations.

Before installing any materials under the deck for removing moisture, you should perform some prep work on the ground. Work the dirt under the deck to create a grade away from the home. A grade of at least six inches for every 10 feet works well. Do not leave a gap between the dirt and the home’s foundation where water could pool. Once you or a contractor regrades the dirt under the deck, you then can add materials over the top.

Putting lattice under a deck will create a polished look that allows for air ventilation. You can also store items underneath as the lattice provides privacy and protection from the weather. You can also put lattice under a porch to create a polished look in the front of your house.

Ultimately, overapplication of stain can compromise the deck's appearance, durability, and longevity. It may result in an uneven finish, with excess stain pooling, dripping, or drying into thick patches. It can also obscure the wood's natural grain and texture, detracting from the desired aesthetic. Moreover, excessive staining may not fully penetrate the wood, leading to poor adhesion and premature wear. Additionally, thick layers of stain are prone to peeling, cracking, and blistering as they struggle to bond with the surface. 

Whether to paint or stain a deck depends on your personal preference for appearance and budget. Stain provides a natural look with a range of undertones, is typically less expensive, and may only require one coat, but it does not last as long as paint. Paint offers a sleeker finish with a virtually unlimited color palette. Both options will protect your deck from outdoor elements like rain, snow, and general wear and tear.
