Q: Should there be a gap between the house and the deck?

• <div><p>In most cases, there should be a small gap between the house and the deck, usually no more than &frac12; to &frac34; of an inch. This space allows water and moisture to flow through instead of pooling against the side of your house. It also lets flashing protect your siding from runoff, which is one of the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-common-deck-problems-and-solutions.htm">most common issues with decks</a>.</p></div>

Q: Which is less expensive, a deck or a patio?

• <div><p>Decks are generally more expensive to build because they require elevating and railings. The difference between decks and patios is that decks are elevated, while patios are usually on the ground level. Plus, decks are usually made of wood and need more maintenance than most patios. However, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/deck-vs-patio-which-works-better.htm">decks and patios</a> serve the same purpose, providing outdoor space for you to enjoy.</p></div>

Q: Is Ipe more expensive than Trex decking?

• <div><p>Yes, Ipe is more expensive than Trex decking&mdash;both in terms of materials and installation (plus, Ipe trees are endangered). On average, Ipe decking costs $10 to $25 per square foot, while <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-cost-trex-decking.htm">Trex decking costs</a> $5 to $12 per square foot. Because Ipe is harder to work with, the price of installation is higher, too. For Ipe decking, you&rsquo;ll pay between $20 and $45 per square foot for labor. However, with Trex decking, the labor costs range from $8 to $22 per square foot.</p></div>

Q: How often and at what time of year should I clean my deck?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Should I cover my deck with a tarp in winter?

• <div><p>Covering your deck with a breathable tarp can protect it from snow, ice, and cold winter temperatures. This is a good winterizing solution if you don&rsquo;t plan to use your deck at all during the colder months. However, it might be best to skip the tarp if you&rsquo;ll still be walking on your deck or using it in a limited capacity. </p></div>

"We used Al's help on quite some renovation on the new house we recently purchased and were really impressed. Therefore it is no surprise we called them again to do various things on our old house before putting it on the market. Once again, Al delivered. He and his sons arrived on time, took notes of everything we want/need, finished them all on time and even some extra at no cost. Al will be our guy for all future jobs. We are already recommending them to all the friends. Please do not hesitate to call Al and you will not be disappointed!"
