"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

Any wood deck provides some ventilation to the area below, as is the nature of that type of deck design. However, areas that experience excessive humidity and associated moisture benefit greatly from a dedicated ventilation system in the form of strip vents. This addition helps the various wood boards contract and expand evenly throughout the years and reduces the chances of twisting, warping, and buckling.

The proper and most comfortable height for a deck stair riser, also called a step, is between four and seven inches. A height of seven inches is often considered ideal for a strain-free step that minimizes the risk of trips and falls. While it is possible to have risers up to 12 inches, this height can be challenging for children, pets, or individuals with mobility issues. For optimal safety and comfort, pair a seven-inch riser with a tread depth (or run) of at least 10 to 12 inches. Always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements that differ from these general recommendations.

Building a deck without a permit could lead to fines for both the homeowner and the contractor. The exact penalties will depend on your state and municipal building laws. You might also be required to remove the deck and apply for a permit before you can build another. While it might be tempting to skip the permit to save a few bucks, it’ll cost you much more if you’re caught.

Both a well-constructed deck and a patio can add value to your home. Patios are generally cheaper to build but don’t offer the same aesthetics as a quality deck. Therefore, decks can be more appealing to buyers than patios, increasing a home's resale value.

In most cases, sanding an old deck before staining it is necessary to achieve a decent finish. If your old deck has a relatively new stain finish on it and you're only doing touch-ups, you can generally skip the sanding part. However, if your goal is to make the deck look and function better, sanding first is a must.
