"Luisa was dependable, prompt, extremely skilled, and very knowledgeable. During this deck repair we floated a footer, replaced boards, reinstalled steps and railings. All excellent work! Additionally she installed an outside hose bib that for some reason the previous homeowner had not replaced in this 1938 home. She had the knowledge and skill set to complete both jobs efficiently. We had several estimates for the deck job and by far she was the most reasonable and dependable!!! I would highly recommended her for your home repairs!!!"

"One of the best contractors we have had the pleasure of working with. Bill and John Clark were very courteous and professional from our initial estimate request until the job was completed. The painting crew were dependable, polite, conscientious workers and their attention to the small details gave the impression the were owners not employees. I really can't say enough about Chris and the rest of the crew. We will definitely hire Paintworkz for any future painting jobs."

Corey is incredibly dependable?he always completes his work thoroughly and with great attention to detail. He not only fulfills his responsibilities without fail but also goes above and beyond what is expected. On numerous occasions, if we had not yet reached out to schedule yard work, Corey would take the initiative to contact us to ensure everything was taken care of in a timely manner. His strong work ethic and proactive communication have made him an invaluable part of maintaining our property. It is rare to find someone so committed to doing their job well and taking pride in the results. I have the utmost confidence in Corey?s abilities and character. I wholeheartedly recommend him for any role or service that requires reliability. Carla N."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

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.

The best way to sand a deck is by cleaning it, sanding the boards and stairs with 60- or 80-grit sandpaper, and sanding the railings and posts with 80-grit sandpaper. You should sand in the direction of the wood grain to avoid damaging the timber. When sanding your deck, use medium pressure and aim for an even sand. Pressing too hard with a sander can damage decks, as most are softwoods.

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.

It is definitely worth sanding a deck to ensure the wood absorbs new stain. Sanding a deck removes the outer layers of aging wood, allowing the stain to penetrate. It also gives a fresh look to the entire surface as part of the deck refinishing process. Without sanding, your stain or sealant is less likely to absorb into the wood. While sanding a deck is a time-intensive project, the rewards are noticeable and long-lasting.

Yes, you can build a deck over your outdoor HVAC unit, but you need to leave at least 5 feet of vertical clearance above the unit. If you don’t want your deck to be that high off the ground, you could build a floating deck in another part of your yard—again, as long as you leave at least 4 feet of horizontal space between the deck and your AC unit.
