We have 5 employees, we do some sub-contracting, we bill from the office and we do not finance. We do accept credit cards

"Mr Swearingen was a salesperson but unprofessional and rude once he closed the deal. A few of my posts are split, there are gaps and warped fencing, he was upset when I asked questions about my fence line and build, he upsold me like the salesman he is but I don’t see the quality difference in the type of wood provided. I would love to ask questions but I know it would be met with disrespect. I refuse to give him more business. I truly wish there was someone else in the company to voice my concerns with."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.

No, it isn’t necessary to skirt a deck, but investing in the cost to install deck skirting can bring more value to your home. Not only does deck skirting make the deck look more complete, but it can also turn otherwise unused space beneath the deck into useful storage space.

Costs depend on repair complexity, hardware needs, labor, and required software updates.

How long deck boards last largely depends on the type of wood and if it's treated or not. Untreated boards last anywhere from ten to 30 years, assuming proper care and maintenance. Treated boards can last up to 50 years. Composite boards also tend to last longer than pure wood boards.

When it comes to rotten deck wood, there really is no fixing it in the traditional sense—it needs to be removed and replaced. While you can certainly do this yourself, we don’t recommend it as some of the issues causing wood to rot could have spread throughout your deck and an untrained eye may not be able to notice. The good news is that replacing deck wood isn’t the most expensive project, and can seriously increase the quality and aesthetics of your home.
