"David and Chester were professional and very helpful. Not only did they powerwash my garage, but they also cleaned my outdoor chairs in preparation for my cookout. After assessing my home, David identified mole on my solar panels and cleaned them. They also did additional work for me after arriving. I enjoyed talking to them both; they were very genuine."

"Wes was great and was a pleasure to work with. When I called him, he was recovering from the flu and said he'd call me back when he felt better--he called back the next day and scheduled the work for the following day! He arrived on time and we went over everything on my list and discussed prices. His prices were great so I asked him to get started. He called his electrician for the electrical work, and he and his partner took care of everything else. Everything on the list was completed that day, and he left the house cleaner than it was when he arrived. He is very conscientious, and is easy to get along with. I will continue to call him for home maintenance and for odd jobs--he really does it all!

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Pressure-treated decking may be worth it if you want a natural, insect- and rot-resistant decking material that will last for decades with proper maintenance. As such, it’s a much better option than untreated pine. Alternative wood decking materials like cedar and redwood tend to be less durable and more expensive. Some homeowners prefer composite decking, which is a low-maintenance alternative to wood but is also more costly.

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.

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. 

Composite decking boards aren't your only options for building a deck. There are several other types of materials for decks, including wood and aluminum decking. Wood decking comes in many different wood species, offering natural beauty and classy timelessness to your yard. Aluminum is a lightweight, water-resistant, and low-maintenance material that is also non-slip.

Choosing whether your deck should be lighter or darker than your house is a matter of personal preference, as there is no right or wrong answer. However, considering the pros and cons of each can help guide your decision. Darker colors are often chosen because they show less dirt, footprints, and marks from daily wear, making them easier to keep clean. On the other hand, lighter deck colors tend to stay cooler in the summer. From a design perspective, using a deck color that contrasts with your home's exterior can help make the deck a more defined and distinct feature. Consulting color theory can also make the process of choosing a complementary house and deck color combination easier.
