Chad came out about two weeks after I contacted him (as he said he would). He was on time and pressure washed the deck. A couple of days later he came out and sanded and stained the deck; again he was on time. A day later when I looked at the deck it was blotchy and there were places where...
The deck looks like new
What a good job. Ben and Danial did a great job. Very pleased with the way deck turned out. Deck looks great.
Adrian's is the BEST! I am so pleased with my new deck and these guys are wonderful. Found them on Angie's list along with 2 other deck builders. Just had a good feeling when Adrian came over to estimate the project. He was very accommodating to my schedule. His crew was very professionally...
We had a 20 year old deck that was rotting and needed to be replaced; we wanted to make some modifications when we rebuilt the deck. Jeff was great to work with; he listened to our ideas, and worked with us to come up with a new design that we are thrilled with! He and his crew were...
PDX Deck And FenceWe met with Ron and described our plans for a new deck and exterior door. He was very easy to talk with and listened to our wants and needs.

We began a DIY project to replace the cedar boards on our deck. When the deck was originally constructed some 14 years ago, siding had been removed at the surface of the deck and the deck boards had been installed flush against the underlying plywood below the siding. When we removed first...
Chris Miller is an amazing man! He listened to what I had in mind, designed the deck from scratch, put up with my repetitive questions, answered my concerns, obtained all necessary permits, hand dug the many footings, placed all the trusses, built the deck, ordered and installed the glass...

"Had these guys put on a new roof. Roof leaked, toxic black mold where it’s leaked with ceiling damage in one of our bedrooms. Been 3 weeks since they came out to survey the damage. They’ve told me they subbed out the roof to someone else when they did it and they’ve let the other company know. I've inquired a few times and they keep telling me they reached out to the other company to let them know. Basically passed us off and we’re up a creek with toxic black mold."

While the terms deck and porch are often used interchangeably, they are two distinct home features. Porches offer a roof that protects from the elements when coming and going from the house. Generally, porches are on the front of your home. On the other hand, decks are generally built in the backyard of a home and offer no roof or protection from the elements, like rain or snow. Porches typically require less maintenance and upkeep thanks to the roof, but both features require regular cleaning and repairs to maintain good condition.
There are a few ways to make your deck look new without professional power washing. First, you can use either store-bought cleaners or dish soap and water to mop your deck regularly to clean off accumulated dirt. To clean your deck and remove mold, mix two gallons of warm water with a ½ cup of distilled white vinegar or apple cider vinegar, rinse the area, and then scrub with a stiff-bristled broom.
The cost to professionally pressure wash your deck is $150 on average. This cost can range from $100 to $600, depending on the size of your deck and its condition.
For an average deck of about 300 square feet, you can expect to pay around $100. However, if you have a spacious 1,000-square-foot deck or more, expect that cost to be closer to $300 to $400. Likewise, if it’s been a long time since you deep cleaned your deck, the deck professional might need extra time and to use deck-specific detergent, which will increase the overall cost.
You should have your deck professionally cleaned twice a year—once in the spring and once in the fall. A springtime cleaning wipes away grime and mold that accumulated during the wet winter months, making it sparkly clean for summer use. Likewise, cleaning your deck in the fall allows you to wash away grease and leftover mess from the fun summer months rather than letting them soak into your deck over the winter.
The cost to build a deck is $8,025 on average. However, this cost can range anywhere from $1,500 to $22,000, depending on multiple factors, such as size, materials, and deck type. You can expect to pay $30 to $60 per square foot when building a new deck.
Cedar decks are often the most cost-effective option, ranging from $4 to $9 per square foot for materials. However, pressure-treated decking, which is resistant to rot, is more expensive, ranging from $15 to $25 per square foot for materials.
