"I worked with painter Sean primarily, but found Chris to be very professional.  Sean was excellent.  Very personable, but not invasive in the house.  He interacted with our pets which is very important to us. He was also a perfectionist so the quality of his work is outstanding. He was very careful with our new wood floors and always cleaned up after himself. Quality, quality work!"

"I am grateful beyond words for the amazing job the guys did! I called to inquire about their services on June 5. They came out that evening to take a look at the job and began work 2 days later. Travis and Dallas are both very hard working, creative, punctual, thorough, have great follow through, a strong work ethic and go above and beyond. I am especially grateful to them for their diligence in connecting with our neighbors, removing bothersome vegetation that had migrated into their yards and the way they continue to keep an eye out for that during their regular servicing of our yard. They clearly enjoy their work and can be counted on to complete any job/project in a timely manner. They have completed 2 big jobs for us since early June and will continue to care for our yard twice a month moving forward. I highly recommend Best Buds Lawn Care!"

Deck Maintenance FAQs, answered by experts

When building an outdoor or deck gate, it's crucial to use durable wood that can withstand harsh weather conditions like sunlight, rain, wind, and snow. Redwood and cedar are excellent choices as they naturally resist decay. While redwood is considered more elegant, cedar is a more affordable option. Other suitable woods include oak and pressure-treated pine, which is specifically treated to resist rot. Although some softwoods like pine are popular, untreated softwoods such as pine and spruce should generally be avoided for outdoor projects because they are susceptible to damage from water, rot, and the sun. Ultimately, it's wise to consider your local climate when selecting the right wood for your gate.

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.

A deck doesn’t have to be perfectly level. Many pros even recommend a gentle slope to ensure proper drainage and increase longevity. The ideal gentle slope is about 1/8 to 1/4 inch per foot away from the property, leading water away from the home to prevent pooling and reduce the risk of damage. It also minimizes rot, mold, and other moisture-related problems. 

Typically, most residential wooden decks are designed to support approximately 40 pounds per square foot, including the deck’s weight and any items placed on it. While this is fine for typical use, it is usually not enough to hold the weight of a hot tub filled with water and people. To safely support a hot tub, your wood deck will likely require reinforcement. Therefore, it’s best to have a contractor or a structural engineer assess it before hot tub installation.

Composite decking may never warp, or it may warp quickly. Several factors can influence the rate of warping, including the material's quality, installation method, and installation location. Generally speaking, high-quality materials that have been installed properly are drastically less prone to warping.
