"We would recommend Deck Rescue for all of your deck cleaning and staining. Carlos came out right after being contacted to give an estimate. He is extremely friendly and easygoing, yet also very professional. He quoted us a very reasonable price for the work on our deck (@1300 square feet with benches, planters, and railings), so we hired him. He gave us @48 hoursâ notice before coming out to do the cleaning of the deck, which was spotty and stained with algae. His process not only cleaned the deck but also got rid of the stains. After completing the cleaning, he told us heâ d be coming back in 4 days when the weather would be most favorable to do the staining. Carlos confirmed the appointment both the day before and the day of the staining. He spent most of the day staining the deck. His work was impeccable. He was very careful not to overspray areas and also to make sure the stain covered properly. In two years, Carlos and Deck Rescue will be our first choice for taking care of our deck."

Customers say: Quick response

"Despite a spring of constant rain, Vince got the decks and stairs cleaned and in the case of the upper deck, sealed, in time for a large family party as I'd hoped. He pointed out where the wood has been compromised and thus recommended sealing those boards as well. I appreciated his attention to all aspects of the project. I plan to hire him each year for maintenance going forward."

He takes his time and and thoroughly cleans up after his job is complete. I would definitely recommend him for pressure washing decks. He also does deck staining."

"Absolutely thrilled to have found J Kirch when I was looking for a contractor to add a deck to my home. Workmanship was top notch. The deck looks terrific. I got estimates from 4 contractors and J Kirch provided the most value, got my work done sooner than any other contractor could commit to, and the team answered all my questions in rapid fashion. I Highly recommend considering J Kirch!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Deck skirting shouldn’t touch the ground, especially if you have a wood deck, which is vulnerable to moisture. Ideally, you should leave at least 3/4 of an inch of space between the deck skirting and the ground for more ventilation. Pros also recommend that you incorporate about 1 square foot of space for ventilation for the underside of the deck to every 150 square feet of decking. Proper ventilation prevents mold growth and rot that can damage your deck.

Both deck footings and deck posts help prop up your deck. However, footings are the bottommost parts of a deck that touch the ground. They’re usually made of concrete. Posts are pieces of wood that attach to the top of the footings with brackets. They run upwards and connect to the underside of your deck to support its weight.

Your deck may pop, and your neighbor’s deck may not for a number of reasons. Whether or not a deck pops will depend on how it was made, the conditions it’s exposed to, and the materials. Improper spacing is a common reason for increased pressure between deck boards. Moisture penetration is another.

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.

The best and fastest way to remove paint from a deck often involves combining a chemical stripper with a pressure washer. Gel-based paint strippers are highly recommended because their thick consistency makes them less messy and easier to apply than liquid strippers. After applying the stripper to loosen the paint, you can use a pressure washer to efficiently wash away the residue. When using a pressure washer for this task, it's important to use a low pressure (under 1000 PSI) to avoid forcing too much moisture into the wood, which could lead to mildew or rot.
