"Sherman Painting arrive on time for the quotation process and again they arrived on time to do the job. They were meticulous and paid attention to detail when staining my deck with brushes. The product that I chose and purchased was used without any complaint or attempt to upsell. I would recommend Sherman Painting to anyone looking to have a deck stained."

"Our project began with looking for a business to stain our backyard deck addition we had built last year, along with restaining and repairing our original deck. We also wanted to add shade to our deck. We had several companies come to understand our needs and give us quotes. Tyler from Houston Haus had very good ideas and offered a fair quote for our project. Tyler's combination of an engineering mindset and creative ideas persuaded us to hire Houston Haus. Tyler laid out the plans for the project from start to finish. He communicated when he was going to work and always kept us up to date on the progress of the project. Tyler always brought forward ideas on the esthetics of the deck and pergola to our attention. The end result was a very beautiful pergola and a total refurbish of the existing deck. We look forward to using Houston Haus for further projects."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can build a deck around a fire pit, as long as it is safely enclosed, meets code requirements, and is at least 15 feet away from your home. You’ll want to ensure you have a heat-resistant barrier between the fire pit and your deck to prevent any structural damage and fires. A galvanized ring surrounded by pavers, brick, or stone makes for a beautiful, safe, and sturdy design.

When staining a deck, don’t skip surface prep, avoid staining damp or dirty boards, and don’t apply stain in extreme heat, cold, or wet conditions. Never overload the wood with a stain, as too much can cause tackiness or peeling. Also, don’t forget to test a small area first to ensure the color and finish look right.

Cutting the boards directly is one of the fastest ways to remove deck boards with hidden fasteners. Mark two parallel lines that are one-third of the total measurement on both ends and cut out the centerpiece. Then, remove the end of the board that doesn’t have a fastener. Finally, pry open the fastened side and pull it up to pop out the screw or access the fastener. This also allows you to salvage portions of boards for other projects.

In the majority of cases, you don’t need regulatory permission or permits to remove decking components and materials. However, the exception is if you live in or near a wildlife conservation area, which could require permits and consent prior to beginning the demolition. Check with a local regulatory agency for more information.

Ideally, a gate should be able to swing both in and out. However, if it can only open in one direction, it is generally best for it to swing inward. This is often the safest option, especially for deck gates near steps, as you'll want the gate to swing away from the stairs. An inward swing also prevents the gate from opening into a public space, like a sidewalk, and can be more convenient when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

There are exceptions, however. The layout of your property may require a different approach. For example, if your property is on a slope, the gate may not be able to swing inward. You should also ensure the gate can open fully without colliding with any objects or blocking access to other areas. For a backyard garden gate where public access isn't a concern, the direction it swings is largely a matter of personal preference. Finally, always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements for which way a gate must swing.
