"Great job! They cleaned 10 years on pollen, dirt and mold off the entire house and removed the loose stain and paint from our front deck. The vinyl siding color is back to nearly new. The appearance is dramatic. They let me know what time they were coming on the day scheduled for the work and showed up on time."

"Plum is hands down the best cleaning company we have ever used. We usually have the same cleaner, but everyone we've had come has the same high standards and training that leaves the house spotless. We have pets, and it is so relaxing to have a clean home. I truly value supporting a local business that does such excellent work. Scheduling has been flexible and accommodating."

"LeafFilter doesn't clean gutters, they sell and install their LeafFilter Gutter products and only clean the gutters if you buy their product. I can't even begin to afford their product so I wasn't able to get my gutter cleaned by them."

"My sisters and I were tasked with cleaning out our childhood home, that included a fridge and freezer full of food, that had been without power since May. Chris and Gary were friendly, professional and exceeded our expectations. They were efficient and answered our numerous questions. Their friendly demeanor made a potentially stressful situation nonexistent."

"We have had Brian fix numerous things in our home over the past number of years. He has replaced the flooring & toilets in our 2 bathrooms, fixed some drywall, hinges on my kitchen cabinets & most recently painted our bedroom & replaced our deck. He takes pride in his work & his prices are reasonable. I trust his judgement with advice as we discuss projects & he is usually right. I would highly recommend Brian for whatever project you may have."

Deck Cleaning questions, answered by experts

While you can use various materials like sand or even just soil, gravel is widely considered the best option to put under a deck. It provides excellent drainage and is resistant to water, fire, and pests. Gravel also helps anchor the soil to prevent erosion during heavy rain and acts as a built-in weed blocker, reducing regular upkeep. Furthermore, it is simple to spread, available in various textures and tones, and adds a polished look that complements any deck design.

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. 

Building a deck without a permit could lead to fines for both the homeowner and the contractor. The exact penalties will depend on your state and municipal building laws. You might also be required to remove the deck and apply for a permit before you can build another. While it might be tempting to skip the permit to save a few bucks, it’ll cost you much more if you’re caught.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

When installing deck boards, screws are generally a better option than nails. Screws offer superior holding strength over time, keeping the boards securely in place. In contrast, nails are more likely to pop out, which can create a tripping hazard. While you can use either, we recommend using 3-inch galvanized deck screws. To minimize the risk of cracking the wood, it's a good practice to drill small pilot holes before driving the screws into the deck joists.
