"Gustavo showed up on time and ready to go. I needed some automotive suspension work welded and modified. He did exactly what we discussed to my satisfaction. Then cleaned up the work site. I would recommend him and will use him again."

"Everyone was super nice! My old porch needed replaced! They were friendly and on time! I didn't feel the need to stand by and watch them take apart my old porch and put the new one up! Everything was done in a timely manner and they cleaned everything up! Amazing I will hire again for my next project!"

"Although my project was somewhat unusual, Mr. Arnold arrived promptly and provided an estimate. Due to the nature of the project the final design required a good deal of revision, but Mr. Arnold was very responsive and I valued his input. When we had a design that fit my property he executed the design well... and quickly. In fact the decks were built much sturdier than I expected. The decks that hold the solar collectors, the storage areas underneath, and the inner and outer fences framing them look extremely professional. After the treated wood had seasoned, Mr. Arnold did an excellent job of painting them. The decks look much better than I expected. I am extremely pleased with the work! I am looking forward to hiring Mr. Arnold to build more decks next Spring."

"The provider was responsive, prompt, courteous and friendly. This job was made difficult because of overhanging trees. Our 12-year-old deck looks great now. He worked industriously and finished the job in about 2 and a half hours. I recommend Nathaneal Banta for anyone with this type of job."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Most building codes list a minimum width of 36 inches and a maximum height of 7¾ inches. However, for the most comfort and spaciousness, you’ll want to aim for a width of at least 48 inches and a height of 7 inches. Again, it’s always a good idea to base your numbers off steps that you already use comfortably.

The proper and most comfortable height for a deck stair riser, also called a step, is between four and seven inches. A height of seven inches is often considered ideal for a strain-free step that minimizes the risk of trips and falls. While it is possible to have risers up to 12 inches, this height can be challenging for children, pets, or individuals with mobility issues. For optimal safety and comfort, pair a seven-inch riser with a tread depth (or run) of at least 10 to 12 inches. Always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements that differ from these general recommendations.

When building a deck, #2 grade lumber is a go-to for several reasons. It’s strong, budget-friendly, and works well for most framing and decking needs. But upgrading to #1 or Appearance Grade can give your deck that extra visual edge if you're after a cleaner, more polished look for high-visibility spots.

It’s important to make sure the wood on a new deck is properly seasoned. Seasoning a deck is simple: Once you build it (or have a pro do so), just leave it alone so it can acclimate to the environment. If you don’t give the deck proper seasoning time before staining, the stain can lock in any lingering moisture and cause mold, rot, and other moisture issues down the road. Give the wood at least four to eight weeks to season before you stain.

A random orbital sander is best for sanding a deck because it is easier to handle than other power sanders and is less likely to damage the wood. Most decks are made of types of softwood, so a gentler sanding process is essential to prevent permanent blemishes. For example, belt sanders can gouge softwoods.
