"John is friendly, quick, professional, easy to talk to and work with. If you ask him if he can do an odd one time cleaning job of something, such as some wax from a warmer that I spelt all over my wall and floor by accident, he seems more that willing to help with extra unexpected messes if you are having trouble getting them up yourself. I have two dogs and a cat; he is good with animals and with cleaning up the hair they leave around the house and on the furniture. He was good at getting dust off of everything, even places most people don't check like fans, high cabinet tops, and light fixtures; which is really good for me since I have pretty nasty dust allergies. He doesn't leave until he hears that you are satisfied with his work first. The first day he cleaned for me, I left my house to take care of an errand afterwards and when I returned my home smelled so clean! I would definitely recommend him to anyone who is in need of regular house cleaning, spring cleaning, and above!"

Deck Cleaning questions, answered by experts

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.

Building codes for deck railings can vary by location, so it's important to consult your local regulations before construction. Generally, a guardrail is required for any deck that is more than 30 inches above the ground.

For residential properties, the standard minimum height for a deck railing is 36 inches. However, some states and municipalities have stricter requirements; for example, California and Washington mandate railings that are at least 42 inches high. Therefore, a 42-inch railing is not considered too high and may be required in your area or chosen voluntarily for additional safety.

In addition to height requirements, codes also specify other safety features, such as the maximum spacing between balusters to ensure they are close enough to prevent a child from squeezing through.

Or you can construct it in a separate part of your yard for a dedicated outdoor entertainment space. For the purpose of removing a freestanding deck, the steps are the same as an attached deck, but you don’t have to cut the deck away from the home.
