"I met Dennis, the owner of Roll City Painting, when I was looking for someone to repair the trim around my garage door. I did not realize at the time that instead of a repairman, I needed a painter, and a good one. Mine is a brick house, over 20 years old. One thing led to another and I realized that not just the garage door, but all the trim around the house needed attention and a few other things besides. The crew at Roll City Painting did the entire house trim, re-stained a fence which badly needed re-staining, re-stained a pergola to match, painted a concrete patio, and even rebuilt four exterior decorative shutters that were beginning to disintegrate. The crew was competent and careful, and went out of their way to make sure it was all done right and to make sure I was satisfied. All in all, I would highly recommend this company."

"My results were kind of disappointing. I have a seven year old cedar fence that had never been stained before and it was starting to show its age and was gray and moldy in places. From researching the water-based stains, it looked like a water-based stain would last longer than an oil-based stain, so I picked the Behr fence and deck stain (in chocolate brown). The day before the stain was applied, a guy came by and pressure-cleaned and washed my fence. I got home right after he had left but there was dirt and mud all along the very bottom of the fence (on the 2" x 6" boards), so I had to get my water hose and rinse all of that dirt off, otherwise the paint would not stick to the dirt. The next day he applied the paint (no complaints there) but since then, the paint has been flaking off here and there. If I bump the fence with my rake handle or where squirrels are climbing up the fence or just anywhere you touch the fence, the paint flakes off. I talked to a guy in the Home Depot paint dept. and he said that I really should have lightly sanded the fence before applying the stain because he said the wood fibers stand up over time and if you don’t sand them off first, the paint doesn’t stick as well as it should but he admitted that very few people are going to sand the fence. He also thought that turning up the pressure washer to a higher setting might remove the wood fibers, where the paint would stick better. Anyway, I don't think the pressure cleaning and washing was done correctly. I know that for sure because there was dirt all along the bottom of the fence that should have been rinsed off but wasn't. I don't think the pressure washer was turned up high enough but I have no way of proving that."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

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.

Composite decking requires a solid foundation or substructure for support. This base is typically a frame composed of posts, beams, joists, and footings. The frame can be built from various materials, such as composite, plastic, timber, or metal, depending on your budget, deck type, and environmental conditions. For maximum stability, a professional deck builder may recommend installing this frame on top of a solid concrete base. It is best to discuss the most suitable substructure design and materials for your specific project with a professional.

Spindles on a deck may also be called balusters or pickets. While not as important to the structural support of the deck as the rail posts, they play a critical role in ensuring the deck is safe to use by closing in large gaps in the railing. For this reason, balusters must be no more than 4 inches away from one another.

When building an outdoor or deck gate, it's crucial to use durable wood that can withstand harsh weather conditions like sunlight, rain, wind, and snow. Redwood and cedar are excellent choices as they naturally resist decay. While redwood is considered more elegant, cedar is a more affordable option. Other suitable woods include oak and pressure-treated pine, which is specifically treated to resist rot. Although some softwoods like pine are popular, untreated softwoods such as pine and spruce should generally be avoided for outdoor projects because they are susceptible to damage from water, rot, and the sun. Ultimately, it's wise to consider your local climate when selecting the right wood for your gate.

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.
