"Can not say enough good things about this group of guys. Punctual, honest, hard working, and excellent painters. They recently completed a three day interior paint job for us. Everyday they arrived 10 minutes early and cleaned up before leaving. They covered up the area of the house they worked in each day before starting and did not get paint on anything for us. Dakota-one of the senior painters on the crew is very meticulous and did a great job cutting in all the corners and around the stairs. Axl, another painter on the crew, did great work for us painting the ceiling on the main level. Shiloh, the owner, who is a master painter would double check all the work each day to make sure everything was completed to our satisfaction. Before wrapping up the last day they vacuumed every room they worked in and wiped down dust from working on stress cracks. Just a terrific and honest contractor and from many past experiences not easy to find. Highly recommended and will surely use again in the future."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Ultimately, overapplication of stain can compromise the deck's appearance, durability, and longevity. It may result in an uneven finish, with excess stain pooling, dripping, or drying into thick patches. It can also obscure the wood's natural grain and texture, detracting from the desired aesthetic. Moreover, excessive staining may not fully penetrate the wood, leading to poor adhesion and premature wear. Additionally, thick layers of stain are prone to peeling, cracking, and blistering as they struggle to bond with the surface. 

The cost to build a second-story deck averages $4,800, though the actual price could range as low as $420 to upwards of $16,000. While labor costs range between 35% and 50% of the total project cost, the materials and complexity of design will ultimately lead you to save or spend more money on this home addition.

Yes. Freestanding or floating decks are exactly what the name implies—structures with their own support beams. You can build a deck yourself and place it next to a house for the illusion of a connected deck without the hassle. Or you can construct it in a separate part of your yard for a dedicated outdoor entertainment space. For the purpose of removing a freestanding deck, the steps are the same as an attached deck, but you don’t have to cut the deck away from the home.

To flatten a cupped deck board, start by ensuring it’s dry. Then, try flipping the board over so the cupped side faces down and reattach it. If that’s not possible, you can use screws to pull it tighter to the joists or plane the edges slightly to reduce the cup. It’s best to replace severely cupped boards.

Before installing any materials under the deck for removing moisture, you should perform some prep work on the ground. Work the dirt under the deck to create a grade away from the home. A grade of at least six inches for every 10 feet works well. Do not leave a gap between the dirt and the home’s foundation where water could pool. Once you or a contractor regrades the dirt under the deck, you then can add materials over the top.
