"Have now used Ultimate Cleaning Specialists for a couple of jobs this year. This time he stained our front deck/ramp that he had pressure washed in the previous job. He worked very hard as it is a "Large" deck/ramp and did an excellent job. I would recommend this business for anyone. Very professional, friendly and very contentious in his work! Very happy with results "Thank you Nic"!"

Customers say: True professional

"Carter Clean did a tremendous job power washing and staining my decks and porches, restoring them to beauty after years of neglect. It was a very big project and Alex and Bill were always on time with no delays in completing the project in a very timely manner. Both were super professional, responsive and hardworking. They take pride in their work and treated our home like it was their own, including going above and beyond the agreed upon work when they saw something that needed repair, additional cleaning, or even to help trouble shoot solutions to a pesky wood pecker problem. Bill did an exceptional job cleaning the roof. He was very efficient and brought the roof back to its original beauty, despite it being nearly 20 years old. He additionally went above and beyond to clean the sidewalks in front and back without any additional charge. Thanks to Alex and Bill the exterior of the house looks great again. Iâ d use these guys again in a heartbeat. They were competitive in their pricing, absolutely fabulous, and I would highly recommend them to anyone."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

PVC decking can get slippery when wet because it’s made from plastic. However, composite and wood decking can also be slippery when wet. It’s best to wear shoes with grippy soles when walking on a wet deck, no matter the material, and to be extra cautious not to slip and fall down.

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.

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.

For a 12x20-foot (240-square-foot) deck, you can expect to pay between $7,200 and $14,400. This cost is based on a general price of $30 to $60 per square foot. The final price will depend on factors such as the decking material, design complexity, deck type, location, and local labor costs. Keep in mind that add-ons will increase the total; for example, adding an under-deck drainage system to a deck of this size could cost an additional $7,700.

Before installing a deck, you must build a base for the deck to rest upon, often made of compacted soil or gravel. While gravel is an optional material, it helps with drainage. Some contractors also recommend installing a weed control membrane, which helps provide a solid foundation for the frame. In the case of an elevated deck, a pro will often lay down a concrete slab as a foundation.
