"Sergpro was 1st to respond and schedule an estimate. On time and great communication. Sergei did a great job explaining my options for repairing the damage to my deck. Was able to schedule my job quickly and finished work before I heard back from other contractors. Work was great and price was very fair. I will use Sergpro again and have already recommended to a friend."

"Deck Maintenance and Re-Build - Woodpecker Builders John replaced many boards on the two decks length of our house, removed vertical posts and replaced with horizontal cables to improve our view of the golf course. He and his team power washed the decks, sanded and re-stained the decks. John is a wonderful communicator, a pleasure to work with, and his prices are reasonable. John is going to work with us on another project in the near future. I highly recommend Woodpecker Builders."

He not only did a great job with sealing our deck but also provided valuable suggestions on other maintenance work in our house. Tom was able to give us quick and transparent estimates. His professionalism, reliability, and exceptional work ethic make him our go-to handyman. We are already planning future projects with him and can highly recommend him."

"From the first estimate meeting through the final day of work, we were very pleased with the professionalism, courtesy, and hard work of all Mr. Handyman personnel.  In order to accomplish the work we wanted done, the team had to support the porch roof and replace everything under it, including pouring new concrete footings.  We were extremely pleased with their advice on, and selection of, the materials used to complete the job.  Further, their estimate of cost and time required to complete the work was right on.  Upon completion of the screened porch and new deck we are completely satisfied.  "

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

It is recommended to clean your deck once or twice a year to prevent the accumulation of dirt, debris, mold, and mildew. The ideal times for cleaning are in the spring and fall. A spring cleaning removes grime that has built up over the winter, preparing your deck for summer use. A fall cleaning washes away messes from summer activities, preventing them from setting into the wood over the winter. The exact frequency can depend on factors such as how often the deck is used, its exposure to pollen, and whether salt was used on it during the winter. Regular cleaning helps protect the wood and its finish from damage.

Space deck handrail posts four to six feet apart. If the posts are more than six feet apart, the railing will be less able to withstand lateral forces and is more susceptible to breaking. Additionally, railing posts that are more than six feet apart may not be up to code, and you may face fines and be required to reinstall the posts to bring them up to code.

Whether composite decking is better than wood depends on your priorities, especially regarding budget and maintenance. Composite decking offers superior longevity (30 to 50 years) and durability, and it is low-maintenance, requiring no sanding, staining, or sealing. In contrast, wood decks typically last 10 to 30 years and need refinishing every few years. While the upfront cost of composite is higher than wood, the reduced maintenance can lead to long-term savings. If a lower initial cost is the primary factor, wood is the more affordable choice.

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.

Whether to paint or stain a deck depends on your personal preference for appearance and budget. Stain provides a natural look with a range of undertones, is typically less expensive, and may only require one coat, but it does not last as long as paint. Paint offers a sleeker finish with a virtually unlimited color palette. Both options will protect your deck from outdoor elements like rain, snow, and general wear and tear.
