"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

Rot loves moisture, so deck rot typically impacts the parts of a board that stay wet. This includes the underside of boards, in addition to support posts and joists. However, any part of a board can rot, given the right conditions. 

Most building codes require that railing spindles (also known as balusters) on decks or stairs be spaced no more than four inches apart. This safety standard is often called the '4-inch sphere rule,' which means a sphere with a 4-inch diameter should not be able to pass through the opening between balusters. This rule is in place to prevent small children and pets from slipping through the railing. For the same reason, the space between the bottom rail and the deck or floor surface 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 essential to check your local building codes to ensure compliance before starting your project.

You can add a roof to most decks, but you need to have it inspected first. If your deck didn’t come with a roof initially, it may not be able to handle the weight without some structural changes. You can add additional supports to your existing deck to safely add a roof, and tying your deck’s roof to an exterior wall can help add some structural stability, but remember these aren’t DIY projects and need to be left to a pro. 

While you can use various materials like sand or even just soil, gravel is widely considered the best option to put under a deck. It provides excellent drainage and is resistant to water, fire, and pests. Gravel also helps anchor the soil to prevent erosion during heavy rain and acts as a built-in weed blocker, reducing regular upkeep. Furthermore, it is simple to spread, available in various textures and tones, and adds a polished look that complements any deck design.

Yes, deck pier blocks can be used as an alternative to traditional deck footings, especially for smaller or low-to-the-ground decks. Unlike poured concrete and buried post footings, deck blocks do not require digging or pouring. However, their use is dependent on local building codes. Some areas, particularly those prone to high winds, earthquakes, or hurricanes, may not permit the use of deck pier blocks. It is essential to consult your local building codes before choosing them for your deck project.
