"I had a wonderful experience with El Valle Relocation Services. As they were moving me, I asked if they knew how to hook up a washer and dryer. Not only did Thomas help me with that, he also helped me with some small projects around my condo that I knew I had to take care of when I moved in. He took care of the rust from spreading on my ac unit, installed a new water heater with drip pan, and patched up a piece of sheet rock that was falling off my wall. I did not expect to have to change out my water heater that day. But as he was draining it, to install the drip pan, there was rust water shooting out of the hose. He took care of it all in one day without my electricity turned on. I appreciate all his effort and his work. He was very fair in what he charged me, considering how much time/attention to detail he put in. He even went with me to purchase the water heater. He really did go the extra mile. I highly recommend this company's expertise."

"Quality, honest and respectful company with AMAZING results! The ugly black run off and black Texas mold on my roof has all been washed away revealing its original brown color. The company's soft wash technique was gentle on the asphalt shingles leaving a clean look without any damage. AMB Solutions also pressure washed my weathered black deck back to a "new wood" look. We are so excited to start staining it. Thanks AMB Solutions for a fresh new look!"

"Mr. Mancilla is a refined gentleman whose professionalism is immediately recognizable. He listens carefully asking clarifying questions, then presents his proposal. The projected cost is made in writing without hidden costs or unexplained charges. His landscaping crew know their work. They fixed sprinkler heads Iâ d been unable to get others to do. They bring their own equipment. Iâ m glad I went with your listing. Thank you."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Footings for ground-level decks need to be at least 12 inches deep, and some areas require them to be even deeper. A standard range for deck footings is anywhere from 12 to 48 inches. The minimum footing depth is determined by an area’s frost line and soil conditions. If you’re unsure how deep to install deck footings, check local building codes to find the minimum footing depth in your area. 

In the majority of cases, you don’t need regulatory permission or permits to remove decking components and materials. However, the exception is if you live in or near a wildlife conservation area, which could require permits and consent prior to beginning the demolition. Check with a local regulatory agency for more information.

Before installing any materials under the deck for removing moisture, you should perform some prep work on the ground. Work the dirt under the deck to create a grade away from the home. A grade of at least six inches for every 10 feet works well. Do not leave a gap between the dirt and the home’s foundation where water could pool. Once you or a contractor regrades the dirt under the deck, you then can add materials over the top.

Pressure-treated decks last 15 to 20 years on average, but with proper maintenance, you could get 40 to 50 years of value from yours. Reseal your deck every one to two years, and replace old or rotted wood as soon as possible to avoid structural damage. Where you live plays a role in the lifespan of your deck. Intense sunlight, rainfall, wind, and hail can reduce the deck’s lifespan.

The proper and most comfortable height for a deck stair riser, also called a step, is between four and seven inches. A height of seven inches is often considered ideal for a strain-free step that minimizes the risk of trips and falls. While it is possible to have risers up to 12 inches, this height can be challenging for children, pets, or individuals with mobility issues. For optimal safety and comfort, pair a seven-inch riser with a tread depth (or run) of at least 10 to 12 inches. Always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements that differ from these general recommendations.
