"Jeremy was on time for initial estimate meeting and all other meetings, except once he was running late, but he called to inform me before the meeting time and was only 15 minutes behind. Values your time as well as his and keeps you apprised. Did a very thorough job, paying attention to details that I had not even thought to consider. Does not cut corners. Everyone on his crew was also reliable and very pleasant. I am so happy with the wonderful transformation of my home that I am telling everyone I know. I have already rehired Paneless Company Painting to do some interior painting and deck refinishing. I am very happy with the results and now when I drive up to the house it makes me happy and I break out with a smile."

"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

It is possible to build your own deck, but it’s typically better to leave the work to a decking professional. Decks can be exceptionally complicated, especially if you want a wrap-around or second-story deck, and you don’t want to risk making an expensive or dangerous mistake. It’s usually better to hire a decking pro who can pull permits and build a structurally sound deck that will last for decades and provide the maximum return on investment.

In most cases, there should be a small gap between the house and the deck, usually no more than ½ to ¾ 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 most common issues with decks.

As with patios, there are many types of deck choices to choose from to add personalization to your home. Some common deck options include:

  • Attached decks are anchored to the home and include simple ground-level options or multi-level structures with stairways and separate landings. 

  • Detached island decks are not attached to the home; they’re a freestanding structure in the yard. 

  • Wraparound decks connect the back of the house with at least one other side and often are built with railings for safety. 

  • Multi-level decks connect your deck through varying levels of elevation, featuring landings that are attached to stairs.

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.

No, your deck will not rot under artificial grass as long as it is installed properly. When installed correctly, the artificial grass features a drainage system that prevents rotting. Simply laying artificial grass on top of the decking without proper installation will not lead to an effective drainage system that prevents rotting.
