"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!"

"Baltazar and his crew did an outstanding job restoring my decks and repairing and staining the stairs and railings on my home. Because my house was built in 1900, it has plenty of unique quirks and intricate details that required extra care and attention. Their workmanship was exceptional, and it was clear they take pride in producing high-quality, detail-oriented results. Baltazar communicated with me clearly throughout every stage of the project, keeping me informed and making the entire process stress-free. He was also very respectful of my budget and timeline, working with me to ensure everything stayed on track. The entire crew was professional, friendly, and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Baltazar and his team to anyone looking for quality craftsmanship and reliable service for a deck restoration, repair, or staining project."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

No, termites do not eat Trex or any other composite decking brand. Termites eat cellulose, of which composite decking like Trex contains very little compared to natural wood. This feature can help justify the higher Trex decking costs if you live in an area with abundant termites.

Your deck may look or feel fuzzy after pressure washing because the high-pressure spray tears some wood fibers as it removes the outer layer of dead and discolored wood. This fuzzy effect is a normal part of the pressure-washing process and will go away on its own in a few weeks. You can opt to spot-sand your deck if you’d like to remove it more quickly.

The best direction for a gate to swing depends on its location and purpose, but swinging inward is the general rule. An inward swing is often considered safer, prevents the gate from opening into public spaces like a sidewalk, and may be required by local building codes.

There are exceptions and specific considerations. If your property is on a slope, an inward swing might not be possible. For a deck gate, it's safest to have it swing away from any steps. In a backyard, the direction can be a matter of preference, though an inward swing can be helpful when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

Regardless of direction, ensure the gate can open fully without hitting any objects or blocking spaces. While an inward swing is standard, a gate that can swing both in and out offers the most flexibility if your setup allows for it.

In most cases, your deck will need some form of deck footing to hold it in place, preventing moisture from rotting your wood and decreasing your deck’s lifespan. Concrete deck blocks are the most common type of footing for floating decks. Some homeowners use ground-level deck footings. For added security, consider digging and laying your ground-level footings below ground.

You can nail or screw composite decking, but 3-inch decking screws are the better fastener choice. Unlike nails, decking screws won’t back out of the composite material over time. There’s also little danger of splitting composite material when driving screws, so you don’t need to pre-drill holes unless otherwise recommended by your decking manufacturer.
