"Jordan is very professional and finished our deck and exterior repair work promptly at a very reasonable cost. When I requested additional things like railings and steps, he was happy to make it work. I will definitely ask him if we need other work done."

"Josh did an amazing job staining and cleaning my deck last spring. He recently just completed my backsplash, painted my whole interior of my house, and hung islands and ceiling fans. He was very professional and had great communication throughout the whole process. I would definitely recommend him for any home needs and I will be reaching out to him again for future projects!"

"Matt painted my living room and kitchen of my new house, and it looks beautiful. I am absolutely, completely satisfied with 95% of it. There are a couple walls, however, with some uneven spots and dripping that looks like that work was rushed at the very end."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

When building a deck, #2 grade lumber is a go-to for several reasons. It’s strong, budget-friendly, and works well for most framing and decking needs. But upgrading to #1 or Appearance Grade can give your deck that extra visual edge if you're after a cleaner, more polished look for high-visibility spots.

Yes, you can attach a deck to a mobile home, but it’s important that the work be done correctly to avoid the potential for major damage to your home. Many building codes require that any additions to mobile homes—including decks—be either freestanding or have their own support structures. Getting permits may require submitting the home's original floor plan, the proposed floor plan, framing details, and more. 

Two coats of stain are ideal for the best protection and aesthetic appeal. However, if your decking is made of particularly dense hardwood, you may only need one coat. If you want an intense color, two coats are ideal.

Your deck may look or feel fuzzy after pressure washing because the high-pressure spray tears some wood fibers as it removes the outer layer of dead and discolored wood. This fuzzy effect is a normal part of the pressure-washing process and will go away on its own in a few weeks. You can opt to spot-sand your deck if you’d like to remove it more quickly.

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.
