"Kevin was able to listen and then give me options that would get me the results for which I was looking. His price was reasonable and his work was neat and well done. I am so pleased with the outcome, it is hard to expressed how wonderful everything worked out. He always made sure that I knew what stage of the job he was in and then he made sure that all of the resulting trash was removed, leaving nothing for me to clean when he finished."

"I hired Ted for sealing the driveway and ended up adding three more projects to the list. He was very responsive in completing all the work and even called when he was running a little late due to traffic one day. Ted suggested a couple of options on each job, provided fair prices, and cleaned up the job site at the end of each day. I'll hire him again and highly recommend others do as well."

"We had an excellent experience and would highly recommend Jeremiah Streeter. Painted two bathrooms including two linen closets and all ceilings. Was neat, clean, efficient, on time, did an excellent job with all the trim, and removed and replaced two wall mirrors."

Deck Cleaning questions, answered by experts

The best way to sand a deck is by cleaning it, sanding the boards and stairs with 60- or 80-grit sandpaper, and sanding the railings and posts with 80-grit sandpaper. You should sand in the direction of the wood grain to avoid damaging the timber. When sanding your deck, use medium pressure and aim for an even sand. Pressing too hard with a sander can damage decks, as most are softwoods.

There are a variety of second-story deck privacy ideas depending on your budget and aesthetic. For starters, you might consider fencing or tall privacy railing that masks a good portion of the open deck. A pergola or an awning can provide additional cover and shade. Outdoor curtains are an easy way to add or remove privacy at your convenience, plus they’re a wallet-friendly way to decorate your deck.

You can use a few different tactics to prevent your deck gate from sagging. Aside from using strong, rot-resistant woods, introducing a diagonal element—such as a tension rod or solid piece of wood to act as a brace—across the gate will offer better support. You can also use rigid joists to prevent the gate from sagging.

Most building codes list a minimum width of 36 inches and a maximum height of 7¾ inches. However, for the most comfort and spaciousness, you’ll want to aim for a width of at least 48 inches and a height of 7 inches. Again, it’s always a good idea to base your numbers off steps that you already use comfortably.

Pressure-treated decks last 15 to 20 years on average, but with proper maintenance, you could get 40 to 50 years of value from yours. Reseal your deck every one to two years, and replace old or rotted wood as soon as possible to avoid structural damage. Where you live plays a role in the lifespan of your deck. Intense sunlight, rainfall, wind, and hail can reduce the deck’s lifespan.
