Sometimes it's hard to tell when to refinish your wood deck, try the "splash test" to see if your wood deck needs attention. Take a glass of water and splash it on the most heavily traveled areas. If the water beads up and sits on top of the wood, then refinishing is not required. If the water soaks in and darkens the wood, then it's time to call Montclair Construction and we will get on that deck maintenance before any serious damage is done.

When it comes to water problems with your foundation, water leakage is usually to blame. Water that collects near a foundation can make the soil heavy and expanded, which causes it to press on foundation walls and footings and create cracks. To avoid this situation, it's imperative to fix any drainage issues near your home as soon as you notice them. Check for drainage issues in your gutters and downspouts, and ensure the soil near your foundation is graded properly and drains well. We recommend having your downspouts empty no less than five to 10 feet away from your home.

A retaining wall is a structure, usually made of stone or brick or concrete, that holds back dirt, soil, or rock from an area. A retaining wall helps your property avoid gradual downward movement that is caused over time by gravity. This kind of erosion is a problem that many home owners face and, short of installing a retaining wall, there is not much that can be done. In the San Francisco Bay Area this is especially important because with the sloping land, this erosion factor becomes stronger and can cause serious damage to your home.
