"Terry has a good heart, and does a good job. But he was late everyday practically and had no crew a different guy every time. He did great work and is super friendly , but clean up is not his thing. He up ended a nest stack of boards I had, and left a lot of debris in the back yard A pretty good stack of boards and junk wood. We got along great. I really like Terri. But I did not get a bud. I asked how many days it would take and paid him $25.00 an hour for the three days that wound up being like 8 days. And some clean up he left for me well as not hauling off limbs as promised. (or burning them). Overall I loved the deck and I like Terry a lot. But I am a straight shooter and told it like it was."

"I had the pleasure of hiring Christopher for a couple of small projects around my house and he went above and beyond to make sure I was satisfied! He kept me informed of every step in the process with excellent customer service. I would highly recommend him not only for small handyman projects but as well as building decks! We are in talks of having a back porch built by him and I canâ t wait for another great experience using him!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Ultimately, overapplication of stain can compromise the deck's appearance, durability, and longevity. It may result in an uneven finish, with excess stain pooling, dripping, or drying into thick patches. It can also obscure the wood's natural grain and texture, detracting from the desired aesthetic. Moreover, excessive staining may not fully penetrate the wood, leading to poor adhesion and premature wear. Additionally, thick layers of stain are prone to peeling, cracking, and blistering as they struggle to bond with the surface. 

Decks require several inspections during and after the building process, but the specifics vary depending on where you live. Most areas mandate that decks comply with local building codes and safety regulations for the foundation, framing, and structure. Some pros recommend a footing inspection, which verifies the depth, width, and location of the various footings to ensure they offer enough foundational support.

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.

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. 

Pressure-treated decks last 15 to 20 years on average, but with proper maintenance, you could get 40 to 50 years of value from yours. Reseal your deck every one to two years, and replace old or rotted wood as soon as possible to avoid structural damage. Where you live plays a role in the lifespan of your deck. Intense sunlight, rainfall, wind, and hail can reduce the deck’s lifespan.
