"Randy Cole and his crew replaced a series of large, irregular (and often slippery) natural stepping stones that traversed 65 feet with an elevation gain of 9 feet with a beautiful walkway constructed of Cambridge Ledgestone Vermont Slate pavers and 13 or so cast stone stairs. They also replaced a large area with gravel underneath our deck with the same pavers. Randy and his helpers then did a wonderful job of fixing a stone wall next to our new walkway using a combination of the stones they had removed plus a palette of blue mountain wall stone. After all the construction was finished, the area adjacent to the walkway was returned to its original condition, mulch was laid down, and the section of our lawn that was used as a staging area for the work was repaired and reseeded. Other work included rototilling a section of the lawn in anticipation of creating a garden there next summer, and laying down stones around the border of this intended garden, I heartily recommend using this company for your stone work, Most importantly, Randy is there every step of the way, working alongside his small crew, making sure the work is done correctly. Description of work: Built walkway, rebuilt stone wall, moved stones, replaced gravel area under deck with pavers, rototilled garden, laid down mulch, reseeded part of lawn.

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

The best and fastest way to remove paint from a deck often involves combining a chemical stripper with a pressure washer. Gel-based paint strippers are highly recommended because their thick consistency makes them less messy and easier to apply than liquid strippers. After applying the stripper to loosen the paint, you can use a pressure washer to efficiently wash away the residue. When using a pressure washer for this task, it's important to use a low pressure (under 1000 PSI) to avoid forcing too much moisture into the wood, which could lead to mildew or rot.

No, you don't need to stain Ipe decking, although you can if you want to change the color. You will, however, need to apply a UV coating if you don't want the natural color to fade. Speak to a deck staining specialist near you to discuss the best options if you want to stain your decking. And remember that you’ll need to seal your Ipe wood deck annually to protect it from scratches and Mother Nature.

PVC decking tends to be cooler than composite because the material is less dense and absorbs less heat. However, it depends on the deck’s color. A dark-colored PVC deck may run hotter than a light-colored composite deck. If you’re concerned about your deck getting too hot, it’s best to stick to a light color such as beige or gray.

Most building codes require that spindles or balusters on deck and stair railings be spaced no more than four inches apart. This safety standard, often called the '4-inch sphere rule,' is designed to prevent small children or pets from slipping through the railing. A good way to visualize this is that a 4-inch sphere should not be able to pass between two spindles. For the same safety reason, the space between the bottom rail and the deck floor should also be no more than four inches. As a general guideline, professionals often install three balusters per foot of railing. However, since specific requirements can vary by location, it is crucial to check your local building codes to ensure compliance before starting your project.

The average cost to professionally clean or pressure wash a deck is around $150, with prices typically ranging from $100 to $600. Several factors influence the final price, including the deck's size, material, condition, and how long it has been since its last cleaning. For a smaller deck of about 300 square feet, you might pay around $100. For a larger deck of 1,000 square feet or more, the cost could be closer to $300 to $400. Decks that are very dirty or haven't been cleaned in years may require more time and special detergents, which will increase the price. The deck's material also plays a role. Wood decks often cost more to clean because they require a gentle power washing technique to avoid damage. Composite decks are typically less expensive to clean, and cleaning a metal deck may cost around $100.
