"Tri-County did a great job fixing sheet rock which had been cut out for plumbing and electrical work. Before the repairs, the wall looked like a jigsaw puzzle with substantial, uneven pieces missing. The workman from Tri-County cut and placed new sheet rock to fill the gaps, finishing with paint which perfectly matched the rest of the wall. There were no visible seams or other trace of just how torn up the wall had been before the repairs. Many thanks!!!"

"Kristy was very professional on the phone, so sweet and concerned with making sure she got all of the details of when,where and the time to come. The gentleman that came to paint was so respectful, professional and made sure to ask me before leaving if I was happy and satisfied with his work. On top of being on time he did an AMAZING job. I am so thankful for the respect shown in my home! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!"

"HIGHLY recommend Hall Masonry for any home repair needs! Brandon was punctual, professional, worked harder than anyone else we’ve ever hired, and paid close attention to detail while redoing our porch and ensuring he stained it to the right color. His prices are super reasonable for the great work he does and he completed our project in an expedited manner. We will continue hiring him for any other home repairs we need in the near future! Once again, amazing work and extremely pleased with Brandon!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

While the terms deck and porch are often used interchangeably, they are two distinct structures. A porch is a covered structure, usually attached to the front of a home, that offers protection from the elements. In contrast, a deck is an open, uncovered platform, often attached to the back or side of a home. Because porches have a roof, they typically require less maintenance than decks, but both features need regular cleaning and repairs to stay in good condition.

It is possible to pressure wash your deck, but it’s usually best to leave the work to a professional for two main reasons. First, power washers are expensive, and you can avoid high upfront costs by hiring a deck washing pro instead. Second, you must be careful to use the correct setting to avoid damaging your deck material. You can only clean soft woods like pine with a wide spray and a low pressure; otherwise, the water will leave unpleasant marks on your deck. Hard woods, composite material, and metal can stand up to increasingly higher water pressures.

Before installing a new railing, check the condition of the deck frame and joists, especially around the perimeter where posts attach. If boards are loose, soft, or show signs of rot, the structure may need repair. A deck pro can inspect your framing to confirm it meets load-bearing requirements.

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. 

A deck doesn’t have to be perfectly level. Many pros even recommend a gentle slope to ensure proper drainage and increase longevity. The ideal gentle slope is about 1/8 to 1/4 inch per foot away from the property, leading water away from the home to prevent pooling and reduce the risk of damage. It also minimizes rot, mold, and other moisture-related problems.
