"We hired A&R to remove six of our overgrown and neglected trees. They walked our yard and pointed out current issues as well as potential. The quote was more than fair and work was quality. Professional company would definitely recommend."

"Best decision ever. Aaron was very well versed in his knowledge of all the things I had him do. I was So glad to have found him. I had no worries of what he was doing or when he was doing it. I didn't have to check to see what he was doing. i didn't have to clean up behind him, and the big one, Was The Job Done Right?? And you can bet that it was..I didn't find one single thing that he didn't know about. Extremely trustworthy!! I had him doing work at my home while I was at work which was a big help to me as my husband passed away in the middle of these projects. But Aaron pulled through and worked with me to finish the projects.. Great guy...couldn't ask for any better.. and My Place Looks GREAT!!!!;"

"Nolte construction does an amazing job of preparing prior to finish work. I am a difficult person to please. Not unreasonable, just know what I expect. That being said, the professionalism and quality of what they did for me is beyond question. In addition to repairing siding damage from squirrels they also did some repair and stained our deck a few weeks ago. They spent a lot of time on prep work that assured the finished product was very, very nice. Many tradesmen skip the attention to prep, but not Nolte Construction!"

Deck Repair questions, answered by experts

When installing deck boards, screws are generally a better option than nails. Screws offer superior holding strength over time, keeping the boards securely in place. In contrast, nails are more likely to pop out, which can create a tripping hazard. While you can use either, we recommend using 3-inch galvanized deck screws. To minimize the risk of cracking the wood, it's a good practice to drill small pilot holes before driving the screws into the deck joists.

Applying too much sealer to a deck might seem like extra protection, but it can cause more harm than good. Wood is a porous material with a limited capacity to absorb liquids. When you go overboard with sealer, the excess can't soak in and instead forms a film on the surface. This leftover layer is prone to peeling, cracking, and trapping moisture, ultimately defeating the purpose of sealing in the first place. 

Before installing any materials under the deck for removing moisture, you should perform some prep work on the ground. Work the dirt under the deck to create a grade away from the home. A grade of at least six inches for every 10 feet works well. Do not leave a gap between the dirt and the home’s foundation where water could pool. Once you or a contractor regrades the dirt under the deck, you then can add materials over the top.

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.

A sunroom will add more value to your home than a deck, but with a much higher up-front cost. Depending on its construction and function, a sunroom may be counted as additional living space, while a deck is strictly an outdoor feature. Both will increase your home’s value, but the sunroom will have a much bigger effect.
