"Keith came and looked at what work I needed done. He came back within a couple of days or it might have been the next day. He came early and did the job. He prune and trimmed my hedges and flower bushes; he pulled weeds growing up the side of the house; he did cut back several small trees; and moved bushes and cut down weeds and hauled away. He was excellent and had good attitude in doing his job. I really appreciate that."

"The crew built a deck and roof. They were always on time as promised, built an extremely sturdy structure and got the job done quickly. Followed what I wanted and charged what I found to be a fair price. They could improve on their finish carpentry, but I would hire them again."

"If you’re looking for someone who truly stands behind their work, I highly recommend B&B Roofing. Brandon did an outstanding job rebuilding my deck, and the transformation speaks for itself. What used to be worn out and weathered now looks absolutely beautiful and solid. From the very beginning, Brandon was courteous, professional, and honest. He communicated clearly, showed up when he said he would, and most importantly—he kept his word. That kind of reliability is rare these days, and it meant a lot to me as a homeowner. The craftsmanship and attention to detail were top-notch. You can tell Brandon takes pride in his work and genuinely cares about doing the job right, not just getting it done. If you want quality work from someone you can trust, B&B Roofing is the company to call. Brandon exceeded my expectations, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone who needs roofing or deck work done. Absolutely fantastic job."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

It's okay to walk on a newly painted deck after about four to six hours as long as the weather has been dry. Be sure to wait at least 24 hours before you place any outdoor furniture or grills on a freshly painted deck, though.

In general, you need a footing at each corner of your deck, and within 8 feet of each other. So, how many you need depends on the size and shape of your deck, plus any local building codes. It also depends on factors like the load capacity of your soil and the weight of your deck. You can find a footing calculator online or contact a pro for support.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

It is recommended to clean your deck once or twice a year to prevent the accumulation of dirt, debris, mold, and mildew. The ideal times for cleaning are in the spring and fall. A spring cleaning removes grime that has built up over the winter, preparing your deck for summer use. A fall cleaning washes away messes from summer activities, preventing them from setting into the wood over the winter. The exact frequency can depend on factors such as how often the deck is used, its exposure to pollen, and whether salt was used on it during the winter. Regular cleaning helps protect the wood and its finish from damage.

An above-ground pool with a deck can increase your home's value by as much as 4% to 7%, but it depends on your local climate, potential buyers, and the size and condition of your pool. Some buyers see a pool as a liability instead of a luxury, especially if it's at the end of its life span. In general, it's best to add a pool and deck to your property if it will bring you enjoyment—not because it raises the value of your home.
