"Marco and Tico refinished our 1400 sq ft deck which had been painted with poor quality paint and was all flaking off. It had to be sanded down to bare wood. The crew from Magic Painting arrived and got to work. They were very professional and responsive to our questions They did lots of hand sanding to finish what the power sander left. After applying new stain, they hand wiped the whole surface to remove any residual stain. On the whole, they did a terrific job and I would hire them again."

"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 questions, answered by experts

Pressure-treated wood contains preservatives that give the material internal protection from rot and pests. Untreated lumber won’t last more than a few years unless you choose a more expensive wood, like cedar, that naturally stands up well to moisture. Composite decking can outlast wood but is more expensive and doesn’t look as natural. Keep in mind that you’ll need to seal any exterior wood product to protect it from the elements and other forms of external damage.

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.

Both aluminum and composite decking materials are environmentally friendly, with aluminum decking coming in as the most eco-friendly option. 

Though composite decking helps remove plastics from landfills, recycles wood, and lasts longer than traditional wood decks, it’s not recyclable and only lasts for 25 to 30 years on average. Aluminum can last well over 30 years and is almost always recyclable.

As with patios, there are many types of deck choices to choose from to add personalization to your home. Some common deck options include:

  • Attached decks are anchored to the home and include simple ground-level options or multi-level structures with stairways and separate landings. 

  • Detached island decks are not attached to the home; they’re a freestanding structure in the yard. 

  • Wraparound decks connect the back of the house with at least one other side and often are built with railings for safety. 

  • Multi-level decks connect your deck through varying levels of elevation, featuring landings that are attached to stairs.

Covering your deck with a breathable tarp can protect it from snow, ice, and cold winter temperatures. This is a good winterizing solution if you don’t plan to use your deck at all during the colder months. However, it might be best to skip the tarp if you’ll still be walking on your deck or using it in a limited capacity.
