"Dave and his crew did an outstanding job refinishing my deck. They were here on time, removed everything from the deck, power washed, sanded, and applied the stain. They also put new locks on my gates. They let it dry overnight and will come back to place all my deck furniture where it was. While they were here Dave noticed we did not have a cap on our chimney. He went up to check it t out and saw that the cement around the top was all cracked. He went and got a cap for us, put new cement around the chimney, and installed a cap. Our deck really needed to be refinished and now it looks brand new. I would most definitely recommend them for any job."

"The whole company impressed me very much did exactly what I wanted much faster than I expected. Very kind and personable, perfectly power washed and stained a pergola, picnic benches, table, swing, and two other decks. Also replaced railings and floorboards all for a very reasonable price. Very highly recommended!"

"David is great. I'd call him again and recommend him to everyone. The project started and ended on time, even though the humidity was against us. He was on time every day and a pleasure to have in the house. Unfortunately, I talked to him a couple of times (great conversationalist) and even though I slowed him down; he plugged on in a great mode. They say you get what you pay for; I got way more than what I paid for. He wasn't the cheapest, he wasn't the most expensive and gave a veterans discounts. But the job turned out way better, then expected and turned what we had done into part of the show case of our house. He fixed holes, dents and cracks; sealed, put on 2 coats, and just made the paint sparkle (flat finish lol) If you need paint, David is the man to call."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Materials for a second-story deck must be weather- and rot-resistant, though the specific choices will largely be determined by your budget and style preference. Pressure-treated wood is on the lower end of the price scale, but it can be customized and stained the way you like it. Composite, on the other hand, is pricier for installation and has fewer options for customization, but you’ll save money and time in the long run because it requires little maintenance.

Yes, you can draw your own deck plans in many cases. However, you must know your local building codes and be familiar with carpentry principles. Even then, it's always best to run your plans by a professional contractor with experience building decks, whether you choose to DIY some of the build or not.

The best way to clean your decking is to clear debris from the gaps between the boards, sweep the surface, rinse it, apply cleaner, rinse again, and let it dry fully. A homemade deck cleaner made of two gallons of warm water and 1/2 cup vinegar is a simple cleaning solution for both wood and composite decking. You can sprinkle baking soda on any spots with mold or mildew, then scrub the area and rinse clean. 

Routine cleaning, sealing/staining, and inspection prolong deck life and appearance.

The cost to repair a deck is between $900 and $3,500, depending on the cause and extent of the damage. For example, fixing a sinking deck caused by pest damage can cost between $200 and $600, while replacing sinking boards costs between $500 and $4,000.
