"Very well. Alberto & Rigo arrived a day after I scheduled the work to be done. They blew & scraped moss off my roof tiles, blew out the gutters & cleaned my skylights. While Alberto applied the Tile Guard treatment, Rigo sprayed the windows, siding and deck to remove any treatment from them. They power washed the patio, cleaning off debris & spray cleaning the siding as they went along. All the blown moss was cleaned up. The roof and patio look great! They worked hard and did a great job! Alberto also alerted me that a number of tiles were broken or cracked and needed replacement, which I have also scheduled with them. My only disappointment was that there was still moss that had grown on Gutterflow barrier in the gutters since the last cleaning that could not be blown off. I have scheduled the Gutterflow to be removed, cleaned & re-installed."

"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."

"It took Douglas Pineda (owner) and 4 crew members four solid hours to remove overgrown plants and bushes, dig out or saw off plants that needed to be removed from growth too close to the foundation of my house. They then ground down all the stumps and removed all the debris and cleaned up both front and back gardens. I couldn't have asked for better service and nicer men. They provided me a "clean-slate" with which to work with in the coming years. The visible difference to the attractiveness of my home is quite apparent to a job well done...and brought many smiles all around.
Would I use RAMOS Clean Up & Landscaping again? In a heartbeat....

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Whether to paint or stain a deck depends on your personal preference for appearance and budget. Stain provides a natural look with a range of undertones, is typically less expensive, and may only require one coat, but it does not last as long as paint. Paint offers a sleeker finish with a virtually unlimited color palette. Both options will protect your deck from outdoor elements like rain, snow, and general wear and tear.

Before installing a new railing, check the condition of the deck frame and joists, especially around the perimeter where posts attach. If boards are loose, soft, or show signs of rot, the structure may need repair. A deck pro can inspect your framing to confirm it meets load-bearing requirements.

There are ways to clean your deck to help maintain a clean appearance. You can easily remove surface-level dirt and grime by wetting your deck with a hose and doing a quick scrub with store-bought deck cleaner monthly. 

However, investing in professional deck cleaning services near you at least twice a year is worth it. This service saves you time and ensures that your deck will avoid accidentally becoming scratched by blasting the pressure washer at the wrong angle.

The proper height for a stair riser or deck step is between four and seven inches, with seven inches often considered the most comfortable. Building your stairs to this height ensures a strain-free step position and minimizes the risk of trip and fall injuries. For optimal safety and comfort, especially on deck stairs, a rise of around seven inches should be paired with a tread depth (or run) of at least 10 to 12 inches. While it is possible to design stairs with risers up to 12 inches, this height can be challenging for children, pets, or individuals with mobility issues. Always check with your local building codes, as they may mandate specific dimensions that differ from these general recommendations.

You can use a few different tactics to prevent your deck gate from sagging. Aside from using strong, rot-resistant woods, introducing a diagonal element—such as a tension rod or solid piece of wood to act as a brace—across the gate will offer better support. You can also use rigid joists to prevent the gate from sagging.
