"The gentlemen did a terrific job for a good price. My module home now looks shiny and almost new again. First time it had been cleaned since 2017 and it really needed it - especially on the Northside - ugh! I will call on them again! Great job guys! You made my life easier."

"Julian and his awesome team did an extraordinary job fixing my deck and building a retention wall that also required leveling the ground. My composite deck had been incorrectly installed, and Raul was able to devise a system to straighten warped boards and hide holes where nails had been. The deck now looks fantastic - and is solid. I had 3 other quotes that were much higher and didn't have a clear solution. (Raul is an exceptional problem-solver.) Excellent customer service, on-time, and went the extra mile. Raul even powerwashed our deck and driveway as a final touch. Julian will be our go-to for all future home improvements."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Spindles on a deck may also be called balusters or pickets. While not as important to the structural support of the deck as the rail posts, they play a critical role in ensuring the deck is safe to use by closing in large gaps in the railing. For this reason, balusters must be no more than 4 inches away from one another.

A deck doesn’t have to be perfectly level. Many pros even recommend a gentle slope to ensure proper drainage and increase longevity. The ideal gentle slope is about 1/8 to 1/4 inch per foot away from the property, leading water away from the home to prevent pooling and reduce the risk of damage. It also minimizes rot, mold, and other moisture-related problems. 

Space deck handrail posts four to six feet apart. If the posts are more than six feet apart, the railing will be less able to withstand lateral forces and is more susceptible to breaking. Additionally, railing posts that are more than six feet apart may not be up to code, and you may face fines and be required to reinstall the posts to bring them up to code.

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’t plan to use your deck at all during the colder months. However, it might be best to skip the tarp if you’ll still be walking on your deck or using it in a limited capacity.

The life expectancy of deck boards varies widely based on the material, climate, and maintenance. Untreated wood boards typically last 10 to 30 years with proper care, while pressure-treated boards can last up to 50 years. Hardwoods generally outlast softwoods. Composite boards also tend to last longer than natural wood. Environmental factors like arid or humid climates can shorten a deck's lifespan. To extend the life of wood decking, it's important to consistently clean and seal it to protect against moisture, UV light, and insects.
