"Your Service My Purpose did an outstanding job on cleaning our siding. We have a Willow Green siding on our house that had heavy oxidation to it. David came out and looked at everything. Before giving us a quote, he researched several items and came back with a reasonable quote. I had contacted two other companies for quotes. One company set up an appointment but never showed up. The other one showed up but did not address the oxidation issue, even though I told them this was main problem I wanted addressed. David and his crew did an outstanding job! They went back over several areas because they were not satisfied with the results. They removed the oxidation that had built up over the past several years. The siding looked like it was just installed. David walked me around the house so if I saw anything of concern they could address. I highly recommend David and Your Surface My Purpose."

"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

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. 

The best base materials for a ground-level or floating deck are typically gravel and crushed stone (also known as landscaping rocks). These options are inexpensive, provide excellent drainage, prevent weeds, and help minimize moisture buildup, which reduces shifting and rotting. For added stability and to evenly distribute the weight, you can use concrete deck blocks or pavers. While more expensive, concrete blocks and pavers offer a sturdier base than gravel or crushed stone alone.

While eco-friendly decking, also called composite decking, is a win for the environment because it consists of recycled materials, it has trade-offs. These sustainable options often come with steeper price tags, lack natural wood's warm look, and can become uncomfortably hot under full sun. Some composite materials can also become slick when wet, posing a potential hazard.

The life expectancy of deck boards varies widely based on the material, climate, and maintenance. Untreated wood boards typically last 10 to 30 years with proper care, while pressure-treated boards can last up to 50 years. Hardwoods generally outlast softwoods. Composite boards also tend to last longer than natural wood. Environmental factors like arid or humid climates can shorten a deck's lifespan. To extend the life of wood decking, it's important to consistently clean and seal it to protect against moisture, UV light, and insects.

DIY staining or painting is manageable with proper preparation, including safety measures, necessary tools, and adherence to safe weather conditions for application.
