"Great! They arrived at the time they promised. They were careful around my shrubs. The brick and siding of the house looked great and I was shocked at the difference having the driveway pressure washed made. I have asked them to contact me every 6 months to have it done again."

"L&N Services has helped me for over five years with multiple handyman projects including but not limited to carpentry work, painting, window resealing, cleaning, moving, organizing, holiday decor, garage door repair, lawn and pool care, power washing and general plumbing. L&N is very dependable and honest in their work. They are always on time, have an extremely high work ethic, and charge very reasonable rates. L&N is respectful of my home, possessions and respectful to me and my family as well. L&N has set very high expectations for themselves and are very detail oriented which is continually impressive to me. They are creative and will spend time researching a project that may be unfamiliar to them, always with positive results. I have been extremely happy with L&Nâ s work over the last five years and will continue to use them. It is hard to find quality people like L&N and once I found them I did not and do not want to ever let them go! I am glad to give any references, generally or project specific, for L&N Services."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

In most cases, your deck will need some form of deck footing to hold it in place, preventing moisture from rotting your wood and decreasing your deck’s lifespan. Concrete deck blocks are the most common type of footing for floating decks. Some homeowners use ground-level deck footings. For added security, consider digging and laying your ground-level footings below ground.

Homeowners should build their floating decks at least 18 inches off the ground. Having it at this height will allow for better airflow underneath and help prevent moisture-related problems like warping or rot. That being said, local guidelines for deck heights may vary depending on where you live.

Yes, snow should be removed from a deck to protect it from damage caused by moisture and heavy loads. Shovel the snow off of your deck regularly once it is more than four inches deep. Avoid using salt, which can damage your deck.

There are more pros than cons when staining a deck. Deck stain is more affordable than paint, it protects the wood and allows the natural textures to shine through, and it can revive the appearance of your home. However, deck stain also requires prep work (sometimes days or more), carries more upkeep than a painted deck, and can fade over time if not cared for. 

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.
