"I had 4 estimates for my project and Brushworks was the best price. Kevin was the lead paimter for my project and he was very responsive to my needs. We discussed all aspects of the work and he was easy to work with. He was dedicated to making sure that I was totally satisfied with the finished product. I would definitely use them again and have already recommended them to my friends."

"Jeremy, Julius, Dan and the whole Paneless team are awesome! They provided a very detailed estimate regarding the house prep, type of paint, # of coats and timing of getting the job done. They also have an in-house carpenter to help with the often times needed minor repairs on decks and fascia board before painting to make sure the structure is sound before working on the cosmetic. They were all very respectful and did a good job of daily clean-up through all the stages of work. I would definitely recommend them to anyone wanting quality work on a big job and getting it done right the first time. This was a big job on a beach house with very tall two story decks, railings and sides that required 30ft ladders and a lot of prep work on wood and metal beams and flashing. Jeremy was great in keeping the whole crew on time and within budget."

"Came and did an estimate for our deck railing.  Scheduled a date, but the day before it looked like rain, so he initiated a change of date, then did the job then.  No glitches, no problems.  Seems professional and we plan to use him again."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Most building codes require that railing spindles (also known as balusters) on decks or stairs be spaced no more than four inches apart. This safety standard is often called the '4-inch sphere rule,' which means a sphere with a 4-inch diameter should not be able to pass through the opening between balusters. This rule is in place to prevent small children and pets from slipping through the railing. For the same reason, the space between the bottom rail and the deck or floor surface should also be no more than four inches. As a general guideline, professionals often install three balusters per foot of railing. However, since specific requirements can vary by location, it is essential to check your local building codes to ensure compliance before starting your project.

Constant exposure to inclement weather conditions can damage your deck, causing it to fade, warp, or crack over time. Regular maintenance keeps it looking and performing its best. That means giving it a good cleaning and applying a quality sealant or wood treatment to help defend against moisture, sun damage, and everyday wear.

Generally, a patio is more accessible than a standard deck because patios are constructed at ground level. However, decks can be made accessible by adding a wheelchair-accessible ramp, a vertical lift, or a stair lift along the entry. An ADA-compliant deck ramp costs about $3,000 on average. The additional investment will provide a much friendlier experience for your guests with movement impairments.

Footings for ground-level decks need to be at least 12 inches deep, and some areas require them to be even deeper. A standard range for deck footings is anywhere from 12 to 48 inches. The minimum footing depth is determined by an area’s frost line and soil conditions. If you’re unsure how deep to install deck footings, check local building codes to find the minimum footing depth in your area. 

Yes, and in some cases, frozen ground may improve the digging process for footings due to sturdier conditions. It’s easier than working in muddy conditions, which are more common in the spring. Contractors may use machinery that makes this step a breeze, so harder ground shouldn’t affect the building process.
