"Have used these folks for several years. They clean the deck with a pressure wash and then seal it with their product. Our deck looks great and weathers very well given the multiple treatments they've performed over the years. Recommend them if you want your deck to last."

"Kevin and Jason took great care of restaining our fence and deck. After I requested a quote, Kevin contacted me promptly and offered to come out to take accurate measurements and get a look at what would need to be done. I really appreciated this because other companies used Google maps or asked me to measure which I didnâ t feel great about. They took their time with sanding the deck, hand rolling paint on the deck boards, washing the fence, etc. I felt like a lot of TLC went into the project which may have been rushed by others; it was as though they were working on their own property. The price may have been slightly higher than other quotes but I think we definitely got what we paid for and then some. Super reliable, communicative, and kind. My deck and fence will be beautiful for years to come. Thanks to Kevin and Jason!"

"Josh & Laura came on a Friday afternoon to begin staining the new wood on our deck extension. They returned Saturday to complete the job. Their work was excellent. They stained our older deck wood to match the new and it is beautiful. They also stained part of our garden house and extra boards for us to fashion a gate for the deck. They work hard and as a team and were very pleasant. Definitely recommend their work!"

"Andrew and Mike worked with me every step of the deck repair project and listened to what exactly I wanted and my budget limitations. They finished the work in about 3 days and made every effort to salvage as much of the usable material as possible, saving me a lot of money and even recommended tasks that I could do before they started the work to save on labor pay. They took really good care of me and I will trust them for future projects that I will need help with. Highly recommend"

"Melvin came out gave me a reasonable bid, and started work the next day. He was very knowledgeable and often great solutions to any problems that came about. He and his crew worked long hard days in the hot sun to complete my fence which covers a double lot. He did such an amazing job that I hired him to complete a deck project for me."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

When staining a deck, don’t skip surface prep, avoid staining damp or dirty boards, and don’t apply stain in extreme heat, cold, or wet conditions. Never overload the wood with a stain, as too much can cause tackiness or peeling. Also, don’t forget to test a small area first to ensure the color and finish look right.

The best way to sand a deck is by cleaning it, sanding the boards and stairs with 60- or 80-grit sandpaper, and sanding the railings and posts with 80-grit sandpaper. You should sand in the direction of the wood grain to avoid damaging the timber. When sanding your deck, use medium pressure and aim for an even sand. Pressing too hard with a sander can damage decks, as most are softwoods.

You do not have to dig footers for a deck as long as it meets local code and holds up to weather in your area. If you live somewhere that experiences high winds and earthquakes, you may need to dig for your deck posts. Deck blocks, post anchors with base plates, and helical pile systems are the three no-dig deck post options you can choose from if local code permits.

If you want to make a deck cleaner from products already in your home, there are various options. The most common is to use a gentle blend of 1 gallon of warm water and 2 tablespoons of ammonia-free dish soap. You can also mix water with distilled vinegar. Sprinkling on some baking soda can help to remove mold and mildew. You can add oxygen bleach (but never damaging chlorine bleach) to the water and ammonia-free dish soap solution for something a bit stronger. 

You can use a few different tactics to prevent your deck gate from sagging. Aside from using strong, rot-resistant woods, introducing a diagonal element—such as a tension rod or solid piece of wood to act as a brace—across the gate will offer better support. You can also use rigid joists to prevent the gate from sagging.
