"I highly recommend Hamada Prestige 1 Fine Finishes and Painting LLC for the outstanding work they did on my home in Bend, Oregon. In February 2022, they did an amazing painting job, including custom stain and glaze finishes in my living room. They completely transformed my beams and posts, making them look absolutely beautiful, and my doors turned out fantastic as well. They also painted the entire house and left it looking stunning. What I appreciated most was how clean and organized they were throughout the entire process, along with the exceptional quality of their work. I was so happy with the results that I hired them again in December 2025 to update the look of my dining area. They transformed the previously dull colors on the soffits and beams using their unique technique, giving them a more classic and elegant style. Once again, the results exceeded my expectations. I definitely recommend them and will absolutely use their services again in the future."

"Jimmy and his team worked exceptionally hard to complete the large job of painting and refinishing our deck. There were a lot of unforeseen problems with the existing material, and Jimmy worked tirelessly to make sure the job was completed to the highest of standards. He takes pride in his finished product and it definitely showed. I would hire Jimmy again in the future for additional work of this kind or another."

"Darrel is a shining star in not only his outstanding work but also as a human being. We have needed our home painted for years. Being retired and the wife needing emergency surgery our budget was, well, slim. Before meeting Darrel we had 2 other guys try to swindle us. Darrel is one that gives hope back to the community here in Albany and will continue to recommend his service. The neighbors complements made my wife's year"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Ideally, a gate should be able to swing both in and out. However, if it can only open in one direction, it is generally best for it to swing inward. This is often the safest option, especially for deck gates near steps, as you'll want the gate to swing away from the stairs. An inward swing also prevents the gate from opening into a public space, like a sidewalk, and can be more convenient when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

There are exceptions, however. The layout of your property may require a different approach. For example, if your property is on a slope, the gate may not be able to swing inward. You should also ensure the gate can open fully without colliding with any objects or blocking access to other areas. For a backyard garden gate where public access isn't a concern, the direction it swings is largely a matter of personal preference. Finally, always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements for which way a gate must swing.

Yes, you can draw your own deck plans in many cases. However, you must know your local building codes and be familiar with carpentry principles. Even then, it's always best to run your plans by a professional contractor with experience building decks, whether you choose to DIY some of the build or not.

Yes, you can attach a deck to a mobile home, but it’s important that the work be done correctly to avoid the potential for major damage to your home. Many building codes require that any additions to mobile homes—including decks—be either freestanding or have their own support structures. Getting permits may require submitting the home's original floor plan, the proposed floor plan, framing details, and more. 

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. 

Footings for ground-level decks need to be at least 12 inches deep, and some areas require them to be even deeper. A standard range for deck footings is anywhere from 12 to 48 inches. The minimum footing depth is determined by an area’s frost line and soil conditions. If you’re unsure how deep to install deck footings, check local building codes to find the minimum footing depth in your area.
