"After not being able to find a reliable handyman with a solid work ethic we were delighted to hire Joe-he kept appts., returned calls and texts and managed to make our deck look good again. We would definitely recommend him."

"They showed up on time when they said they would with all the right equipment to get the job done. They hand sanded the entire fence removing all dirt and rust. Then they applied a liberal coat of oil based premium paint. After painting the entire fence they went back and meticulously went over every inch making sure that there were no missed spots. They cleaned up everything and carried away all their trash when they left. I would recommend them to anyone without hesitation and would rehire them in a heartbeat. They were a pleasure to work with."

"Showed up on time when scheduled and got the job done. Good job. The only reason for the rating was I am 72 years old and he wanted me to help him move a heavy wrought iron picnic table. He ended up doing it by himself but, he had come out to look at the job beforehand and was made aware of the heavy table then. He did do a good job spraying sealant on the deck ."

"I recently hired Music City Improvements for an interior painting and wall paneling project, and I couldn't be more impressed! From start to finish, their team was professional, detail-oriented, and incredibly skilled. The interior painting was flawless—sharp lines, smooth finishes, and perfect color application that transformed my space. They helped me choose the right shades to match my décor and ensured everything was clean and precise. The wall paneling work was equally stunning. Their craftsmanship added a level of sophistication to my home that exceeded my expectations. Every panel was installed with care, creating a seamless and polished look. Beyond the quality of their work, their team was punctual, friendly, and respectful of my home, leaving everything spotless when they finished. If you're looking for top-notch painting and paneling services, I highly recommend Music City Improvements. Their attention to detail and commitment to excellence make them stand out! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – Five stars all the way!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Whether to paint or stain a deck depends on your personal preference for appearance and budget. Stain provides a natural look with a range of undertones, is typically less expensive, and may only require one coat, but it does not last as long as paint. Paint offers a sleeker finish with a virtually unlimited color palette. Both options will protect your deck from outdoor elements like rain, snow, and general wear and tear.

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 wood contains preservatives that give the material internal protection from rot and pests. Untreated lumber won’t last more than a few years unless you choose a more expensive wood, like cedar, that naturally stands up well to moisture. Composite decking can outlast wood but is more expensive and doesn’t look as natural. Keep in mind that you’ll need to seal any exterior wood product to protect it from the elements and other forms of external damage.

Building a deck is often worth the investment, not only because it provides more utility to your yard and gives you more space to entertain but also because decks tend to add value to your home. Keep in mind that second-story decks often require concrete footings, which means they will bump up your property taxes, while decks built on the first story generally don’t require a permanent foundation and won’t affect your taxes. Even with the tax increase, decks are usually a good investment in the long run.

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.
