"Hired him to paint my metal roof on April 24,2020, and paid him the deposit of $900.00. I told him to be sure to have the roof painted before the end of September. Contacted him on August 20,2020 and asked if he was coming to paint the roof. Daniel told me he would be here the following week. He never showed up. Called him on Sept 21,2020 and left a message as to whether he was still coming or not. It is now Oct 5,2020 and I have not received a call or my $900 deposit back from him. Steer clear of this guy. I guess it is time to hire a lawyer to get my deposit back."

This company subcontracts out work to builders without doing any research. You're better off finding a local builder yourself so you avoid the headache we had to deal with. This was approximately a 210sq ft deck we paid $31k) for (we were okay with paying extra because we thought they were reputable) The deck was installed with absolutely no water protection behind the ledger board. The ledger board was just placed against 40 year old siding and I can clearly see the rim joist of my house from outside. The owner TJ and his assistant Jesse both advised that it was done right they didn't see anything wrong with it. (had to call them out while just the framing was up, there was no oversight.) I had 4 contractors out to double check it, 1 being related and 3 are well known local builders. All of them stated that there was no water membrane behind the ledger, it would quickly rot out and to pause all work to get code enforcement out because there's no way it will pass. I notified TJ I wanted code enforcement to check it out before we proceeded due to major safety concerns (deck railing installed with no screws barely hanging on and they just covered it with the railing cover. See photo. And the ledger board being clearly placed over old siding with no water barrier) When code enforcement came out his first words were "this is wrong". TJ kept advising code enforcement that he just didn't see how it was wrong. Ultimately, code enforcement failed it due to there being no barrier to protect the ledger board or the house from wind driven rain, ice, etc(live on the coast) To fix it they had to cut the ledger board into 4 pieces peel it off the house, cut what should have been cut originally and then water barrier put in, old foam put back and put the deck back. The entire time, Jesse made sure that we knew he was very irritated to have to fix it. They also took out a 3 ft window and replaced it with a 6 ft sliding glass door on an exterior wall and weren't going to put in a header or any pan flashing (placed it right on the wood) . The header they put in (after me insisting they did) is blocked on 1 side (jack stud too short so instead of fixing they just added a little wood block) and it's floating on the other, jack stud also too short - not supporting header. When they drilled the holes for the helical posts(3) they drilled it a foot into my garage door path - and then had to cut more blacktop out to fix it. How this step is messed up is beyond me. Overall the issue comes from complete lack of oversight and they were either being dishonest about not seeing what was wrong, or they've installed a lot of decks without a water barrier. (leading reason for deck failures) Either way - terrible experience with this business. This doesn't even account for the "can't see it from my house" the crew kept saying throughout the build Update: BEWARE Just received a cease and desist in the mail today from their lawyers. It seems like they sue people who leave their business with negative reviews. Even with all the photos of their work. Cease and desist attached.Went with archadeck because they had a good rating.

You should clean your deck before sealing it. Cleaning before refinishing is critical. If you don’t remove dirt and debris, you'll trap moisture in the wood, which prevents the new sealer from working correctly and can lead to costly repairs. Whether you need to sand, power wash, or sandblast depends on your deck's condition.
Sealing and staining your deck are essential maintenance methods that protect and beautify your outdoor space. Stain adds rich color and guards against fading, while sealant fortifies the wood against moisture and weather damage. Wood type, climate, deck age, and the degree of existing damage determine whether your deck benefits from one or both treatments. Using both options extends your deck’s durability and enhances its overall appearance.
Power washing and sealing your deck costs $500 to $1,700. This process combines the removal of stubborn dirt and debris with a protective seal that preserves the wood’s integrity. Effective cleaning eliminates harmful buildup, and a proper seal prevents moisture damage and wood decay, ensuring long-term durability and reducing future repair expenses.
Your deck must be sealed every one to three years to maintain its strength and appearance. Regular sealing is essential to protect the wood against moisture, mold, and harmful UV rays. A consistent sealing schedule prevents rapid deterioration and costly repairs. Inspections should be performed annually to determine if the protective layer remains intact, extending the life of your deck.
Leaving your deck untreated compromises its structural integrity and safety. An unprotected deck rots quickly due to moisture and environmental exposure, which means that neglecting sealing results in rapid decay and expensive replacement costs of $4,125 to $11,650. Sealing your deck is essential for maintaining its durability and protecting your home.
The sealant on your deck dries within a few hours and reaches full cure within 72 hours before regular use. It is essential to wait until the complete curing period to ensure the protective layer fully sets and resists weather and foot traffic. Proper drying guarantees that your deck is fully protected against moisture and environmental damage, ensuring lasting quality.
