"First, I had them deep clean my flagstone patio, using their super-powered hot-water pressure washer, using a bleach solution. Absolutely incredible result, getting out stains no one else I hired had been able to get out with normal cold water pressure. The results were so good, I had the wash the entire house and gutters using that same setup. The light-colored trim and gutters just glowed! With two great results, I had them do an even trickier job: refinish my hardwood porch/deck. This involved careful sanding and bleaching of the wood, ridding it of the terrible job the last guys did, and then precisely oil-staining the tigerwood decking - a much more difficuly job than cedar staining, as hardwood does not absorb excess stain. It must be carefully brushed out to eliminate pooling. The result was absolutely spectacular! The decking looks like hardwood flooring - exactlythe effect we wanted when we installed it but had been unable to achieve with other contractors. Weâ ve had neighbors stop by and ask about it already. Travis knows his stuff and is a meticulous, scrupulous craftsman. You can count on him to do the job right and at a very fair price. I will definitely use Upright Exterior Services next time,and will recommend them to anyone who asks."

"I found Millennium Specialties on Angi and I am so grateful. His crew was honest and open about the work and knew what they were doing right from the jump. I was able to bounce ideas of him and got straight answers. They were quick and efficient with the work. I had requested to have the exterior trim repaired and exterior painted. They got the repairs done in just a couple of days and the painting only took 2 days. Very professional. I would recommend them to everyone."

"The first thing done was a complete power washing of our home with a solution that removed all traces of mildew in the old paint. Ken's paint crew showed up on time and with enough painters to complete the job in one day.  They were very careful to protect windows, plants and decking from over-spray and I could not be happier.

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, Ipe is more expensive than Trex decking—both in terms of materials and installation (plus, Ipe trees are endangered). On average, Ipe decking costs $10 to $25 per square foot, while Trex decking costs $5 to $12 per square foot. Because Ipe is harder to work with, the price of installation is higher, too. For Ipe decking, you’ll pay between $20 and $45 per square foot for labor. However, with Trex decking, the labor costs range from $8 to $22 per square foot.

You can use a few different tactics to prevent your deck gate from sagging. Aside from using strong, rot-resistant woods, introducing a diagonal element—such as a tension rod or solid piece of wood to act as a brace—across the gate will offer better support. You can also use rigid joists to prevent the gate from sagging.

Building a deck without a permit could lead to fines for both the homeowner and the contractor. The exact penalties will depend on your state and municipal building laws. You might also be required to remove the deck and apply for a permit before you can build another. While it might be tempting to skip the permit to save a few bucks, it’ll cost you much more if you’re caught.

Most building codes require that spindles or balusters on deck and stair railings be spaced no more than four inches apart. This safety standard, often called the '4-inch sphere rule,' is designed to prevent small children or pets from slipping through the railing. A good way to visualize this is that a 4-inch sphere should not be able to pass between two spindles. For the same safety reason, the space between the bottom rail and the deck floor should also be no more than four inches. As a general guideline, professionals often install three balusters per foot of railing. However, since specific requirements can vary by location, it is crucial to check your local building codes to ensure compliance before starting your project.
