"This is the second time I have used Rodriguez Painting and I will use them again and again. My deck was power washed thoroughly and then painted. The painting was like a work of art-the deck was a mess before hand and looked like a brand new deck with the work was completed. The care that was taken and the attention to detail was remarkable. Edward is reliable, courteous, communicative, and takes pride in his work and craftmanship. I cannot say enough about the quality of work and the quality person that you will get when you hire Rodriguez Painting."

"Discovered that the pipe from the upstairs toilet had sprung a leak after 60+ years--into the downstairs bathroom. Tony and Brian replaced the pipe and replaced the damaged ceiling tiles downstairs. While they were here they also attended to things I'd put off--replacing the flapper in the downstairs toilet, replacing the shutoff for that toilet (didn't know it leaked a bit until we turned it on fully). Also replaced the leaky sink in that bathroom. It was my nightmare that Tony took with good nature. He said that everything would be fixed, and it was. And he cleaned up everything before leaving. He is my go to "guy" for any house problem I can't fix myself--plumbing, roof, furnace."

"I purchased all the necessary materials myself. All they had to do was install. I was charged $75 $68 with the 5% off coupon) for less than 1/2 hours worth of work. That translates to $150 an hour ($142.5o with a 5% discount). I like PPHI, but that price for a simple install (which I could have done myself or had my neighbor do for free), I feel is very overpriced."

"I purchased my home in November. The exterior looked like it had not been cleaned in years. Ashley, the project manager was friendly and helpful when I called. She booked an appointment for a quote with the owner the same day. Two days later, Chris showed up with another guy named Chris ... did a wonderful job. They were friendly and courteous, and worked efficiently. They were thorough in the cleaning process. I have a two story single home with two decks and a large staircase, approximately 1,600 sq ft in all. It took them about 3 hours to fully complete the job ... and I had a few trouble spots they seemed to breeze through effortlessly. The results were stunning. They exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend their services! Great job guys!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

It is definitely worth sanding a deck to ensure the wood absorbs new stain. Sanding a deck removes the outer layers of aging wood, allowing the stain to penetrate. It also gives a fresh look to the entire surface as part of the deck refinishing process. Without sanding, your stain or sealant is less likely to absorb into the wood. While sanding a deck is a time-intensive project, the rewards are noticeable and long-lasting.

Before installing any materials under the deck for removing moisture, you should perform some prep work on the ground. Work the dirt under the deck to create a grade away from the home. A grade of at least six inches for every 10 feet works well. Do not leave a gap between the dirt and the home’s foundation where water could pool. Once you or a contractor regrades the dirt under the deck, you then can add materials over the top.

The best material for your deck depends on several factors, including your budget, location, aesthetic preferences, and the level of maintenance you’re willing to do. Wood decking, like redwood, ipe, cedar, and pine, lasts the longest, but it’s more expensive and requires more upkeep than composite and synthetic decking.

Always sand a deck before repainting so the wood is smooth and ready for paint. While you do not need to fully remove paint before repainting, sanding helps remove any areas with weather and sun damage. Sanding also helps remove chipped or flaking paint and opens the wood pores to improve paint adhesion.

Yes, an elevated deck can increase a home's resale value. Homeowners can expect a 65% return on investment from the cost of a second-story deck installation. For example, if you spend $5,000 to install a second-story deck, that deck will add $3,250 to the value of your home.
