"I contacted Rain Hunters to help me with an overgrown oak tree. They responded to me very promptly and came out for an estimate. The estimate was more than fair. They arrived to do the work on time and did a wonderful job trimming up my tree. Ricardo is very knowledgeable and was very respectful and pleasant. He even took me to see some of the landscaping projects he has done in my area. The only word to describe them was fabulous. His knowledge of plants and his work with dimension in his projects is fantastic. He is drawing up a plan for my front and back yards. I can't wait to see what he comes up with. I know it will be spectacular!!"

"My fiancee was offered her dream job in a new city out of the blue.  Because she had to report to work in two weeks everything about our move was very rushed.  We weren't sure if we were going to be able to find someone to take over our lease until almost the very last minute.  We contacted BDI cleaning to see if they could fit our job into their schedule.  They were able to schedule our cleaning around the movers on just a few days notice.  Their rates were very reasonable and the new tenants were very impressed with the job they did.  We communicated with them by phone, texts and emails, and Justin always responded quickly no matter the medium we used.  I highly recommend BDI Cleaning Service.  We had a wonderful experience with them.

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Applying too much sealer to a deck might seem like extra protection, but it can cause more harm than good. Wood is a porous material with a limited capacity to absorb liquids. When you go overboard with sealer, the excess can't soak in and instead forms a film on the surface. This leftover layer is prone to peeling, cracking, and trapping moisture, ultimately defeating the purpose of sealing in the first place. 

Although composite decking is extremely durable, it’s also susceptible to extreme heat. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause fading, warping, and cracking. Composite also retains heat more than wood, which makes it dangerous to walk on in the summer. You can help prevent heat damage by only building with composite in shaded areas or using rugs to cover the hottest spots.

Typically, most residential wooden decks are designed to support approximately 40 pounds per square foot, including the deck’s weight and any items placed on it. While this is fine for typical use, it is usually not enough to hold the weight of a hot tub filled with water and people. To safely support a hot tub, your wood deck will likely require reinforcement. Therefore, it’s best to have a contractor or a structural engineer assess it before hot tub installation.

What goes under your floating deck depends on your preferences. Some homeowners put landscaping fabric underneath their decks to prevent weeds from popping up through the boards. Others choose to build a floating deck over grass or gravel. However, it’s best not to set your deck directly on the ground. Instead, set your deck on blocks to keep it elevated enough to prevent moisture from rotting the wood.

You typically don’t need a railing and handrails on a deck that’s less than 30 inches from the ground. However, consider adding them regardless. Railings provide additional safety for you and your guests who use your deck—plus, railings give the deck a more finished look than it would have without them.
