"I contracted with All Surface to clean and stain my two soft wood decks. I have high expectations for All Surface as they always did such a good job on my hardwood deck at my former home. Today, Aberto and his crew of professional cleaners arrived on time. They were very courteous and professional and went the extra mile to make make my dirty/worn decks beautiful again. At my request, they also cleaned my hardwood table and chairs, even though I was their last customer and presumably they'd already had a long day (Note: I arranged with the office to pay an additional very reasonable fee). My front porch is a laid wood deck of very tight old cedar boards and the steps are younger Douglas fir. All of it was stained and a dirty gray. The back deck is an older generic cedar deck with really ugly stockade style pickets which we removed. The deck had been stained a very dark brown (to match house's very dark shingles) and the finish had aged to an unattractive combo of splotchy dark and faded. Frankly, I wasn't sure how well it would clean up. Well, I am so pleased! Alberto and company were pretty successful at banishing most of the splotches and returned the deck to it's original lovely cedar hue. Alberto and team did a fantastic job! Erik the estimator and the office staff were consistently informative, friendly and very helpful. Both decks already look 100% better! The formerly ugly back deck will be a pretty sweet spot now with new rails and the final finish! Can't wait!"

"First, I had them deep clean my flagstone patio, using their super-powered hot-water pressure washer, using a bleach solution. Absolutely incredible result, getting out stains no one else I hired had been able to get out with normal cold water pressure. The results were so good, I had the wash the entire house and gutters using that same setup. The light-colored trim and gutters just glowed! With two great results, I had them do an even trickier job: refinish my hardwood porch/deck. This involved careful sanding and bleaching of the wood, ridding it of the terrible job the last guys did, and then precisely oil-staining the tigerwood decking - a much more difficuly job than cedar staining, as hardwood does not absorb excess stain. It must be carefully brushed out to eliminate pooling. The result was absolutely spectacular! The decking looks like hardwood flooring - exactlythe effect we wanted when we installed it but had been unable to achieve with other contractors. Weâ ve had neighbors stop by and ask about it already. Travis knows his stuff and is a meticulous, scrupulous craftsman. You can count on him to do the job right and at a very fair price. I will definitely use Upright Exterior Services next time,and will recommend them to anyone who asks."

"Initial contact was prompt and friendly.  The crew showed up and worked hard, laughing and singing (Love it!).  The initial job consisted of cleaning out a bunch of weeds, blackberries, and trimmings.  They laid down bark dust and blew off the pavement and deck.
They now come out semi-monthly and mow and pull weeds.

"I changed the front door color after he had already painted it. He repainted it without an additional charge. I kept adding painting projects. Heâ d give me a price and then include it. Moved deck furniture off area and back on. Inside he paint a walk in pantry beautifully and two doors. Of 4 bids, his was the least expensive. Heâ s my painter of choice in the future."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

The best and fastest way to remove paint from a deck often involves combining a chemical stripper with a pressure washer. Gel-based paint strippers are highly recommended because their thick consistency makes them less messy and easier to apply than liquid strippers. After applying the stripper to loosen the paint, you can use a pressure washer to efficiently wash away the residue. When using a pressure washer for this task, it's important to use a low pressure (under 1000 PSI) to avoid forcing too much moisture into the wood, which could lead to mildew or rot.

It's okay to walk on a newly painted deck after about four to six hours as long as the weather has been dry. Be sure to wait at least 24 hours before you place any outdoor furniture or grills on a freshly painted deck, though.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

Floating decks are a cost-effective and versatile option, but they come with some compromises. Since they sit on smaller footings instead of being deeply anchored, they’re more likely to shift over time, especially in areas with heavy rainfall or freeze-thaw conditions. Their low-to-the-ground design makes them more susceptible to moisture buildup and potential water damage.
