"Dave was punctual and was very hardworking, making sure my new decking system was installed correctly. He took the time to install each layer of the decking system and made the finished surface graded so the water drained off perfectly. I would hire him again if I ever need to redo my deck."

"Project: Resurface pool deck area, patio and driveway. Kaveh and his crew were outstanding. Kaveh was on site every day and did not leave until all questions I had were answered. Oscar and the two other crew members were always courteous, friendly and ready to explain every procedure. At the end of each days work they always cleaned up and never left a mess. They were always ready for work at 0800 and put in a full days work. Initially, I did not know what to expect. but the final product was absolutely outstanding. Some of the contractors I contacted first did not even return my calls. Kaveh was not the first but I was fortunate in that he was my final choice. I might add, that every time I called Kaveh it was he who picked up the call and that is important to me. Everyone in my family was amazed at the quality of the work. The backyard as well as the patio and drive look new. I would recommend Kaveh without a doubt to anyone planning on renewing their deck or other surface."

"Couldn't have gone better. I was under a time crunch because my tenant moved out and I didn't want to let the house sit a whole month without income. I urgently read AL reviews and called 5 companies.
Don, the owner I think, of Foothill came out himself at a time that worked for me. He immediately impressed me with his insight, friendliness and his suggestions of how to keep costs low while not skimping on quality. He worked with me on price and I gladly gave him the job. Couldn't be happier, I was on the road for work when the work got done and thankfully it went off without a hitch; no calls, no extra charges, no delays. The place was sparkling and beautiful for our new tenants upon move-in.
Foothill has a customer for life.

"My experience with this contractor has been the best.   I would recommend him to any of my friends.   He and his subcontractors are professional, clean, punctual, do excellent work, and clean up after they're done so one wouldn't know that they had been there.   They covered everything in the bathroom with plastic up to about 7' on the walls.   There was almost no dust anyplace.   We had remodeled the rest of the house, using different contractors, about 3 years ago.   We fired the first contractor, as his work was horrible.   The second and third were good.   I wish I had come across Seacliff Builders initially."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Putting lattice under a deck will create a polished look that allows for air ventilation. You can also store items underneath as the lattice provides privacy and protection from the weather. You can also put lattice under a porch to create a polished look in the front of your house.

There are a variety of second-story deck privacy ideas depending on your budget and aesthetic. For starters, you might consider fencing or tall privacy railing that masks a good portion of the open deck. A pergola or an awning can provide additional cover and shade. Outdoor curtains are an easy way to add or remove privacy at your convenience, plus they’re a wallet-friendly way to decorate your deck.

You can nail or screw composite decking, but 3-inch decking screws are the better fastener choice. Unlike nails, decking screws won’t back out of the composite material over time. There’s also little danger of splitting composite material when driving screws, so you don’t need to pre-drill holes unless otherwise recommended by your decking manufacturer.

Most building codes require that spindles or balusters on deck and stair railings be spaced no more than four inches apart. This safety standard, often called the '4-inch sphere rule,' is designed to prevent small children or pets from slipping through the railing. A good way to visualize this is that a 4-inch sphere should not be able to pass between two spindles. For the same safety reason, the space between the bottom rail and the deck floor 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 crucial to check your local building codes to ensure compliance before starting your project.

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.
