How often should I maintain my deck?

Long-term customers report annual maintenance schedules. One customer noted that skipping even one year led to repair needs, and annual upkeep costs roughly 2% of replacement cost, making it a cost-effective way to avoid replacement every 10-15 years.

Do you handle decks with previous paint or stain jobs?

Yes. The team assesses each situation upfront and explains realistic outcomes. One review noted the owner walked through the entire sanding and staining process before starting, setting clear expectations for decks with prior paint.

Will the job site be cleaned up?

Yes. Multiple reviews mention thorough cleanup after work is completed.
