"It was a massive project that included pressure washing and staining exterior decks, interior painting, plumbing, electrical work, and the installation of cedar tongue and groove shiplap on the walls. There are probably other elements of the project that I am forgetting at this point. Bret did an awesome job with it. I think the before/after photos speak for themselves. I highly recommend Bret Pelfrey at Detailed Precise Handyman."

"Honest guy who does good work and is readily willing to make things right if he is not satisfied with his work. He had issues with putting in a deadbolt on a very tough steel door. He ended up offering to add a kick plate to fix the issue without charging me. Then I had him fix up two other deadbolts that where not installed very well by another locksmith. Now these locks work superbly. I would trust this contractor to do things right."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

When staining a deck, don’t skip surface prep, avoid staining damp or dirty boards, and don’t apply stain in extreme heat, cold, or wet conditions. Never overload the wood with a stain, as too much can cause tackiness or peeling. Also, don’t forget to test a small area first to ensure the color and finish look right.

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. 

Deck boards should be spaced no more than three-eighths of an inch apart. This is enough space to allow water and small debris to pass through without collecting on the surface, but not enough to create a tripping hazard. Certain materials, like pressure-treated wood, shrink over time, so they may need less space at installation.

A random orbital sander is best for sanding a deck because it is easier to handle than other power sanders and is less likely to damage the wood. Most decks are made of types of softwood, so a gentler sanding process is essential to prevent permanent blemishes. For example, belt sanders can gouge softwoods.

Space deck handrail posts four to six feet apart. If the posts are more than six feet apart, the railing will be less able to withstand lateral forces and is more susceptible to breaking. Additionally, railing posts that are more than six feet apart may not be up to code, and you may face fines and be required to reinstall the posts to bring them up to code.
