"Brett and his crew have done an amazing job on my deck that badly needed redecking & new railing. At 47ft x 30ft, this was a big undertaking. Brett listened carefully to what I wanted to do and didn’t try to upsell me. Yet he was good at providing ideas and wanted the deck to look good as much as me. When we ran into unforeseen structural damage that increased the scope of the project substantially, Brett handled it very professionally and fairly. The whole crew was polite and friendly. Brett was very responsive and kept me up to date on the progress and next steps. I warmly recommend and will be sure to reach out to him for next carpentry projects."

"Max was very professional and I liked him from the moment I met him. He was very thorough and seemed very knowledgeable about the deck repairs needed. He arranged and met with another professional regarding the coating of the deck once he had repaired it. It was clear from that conversation that he knew what he was doing. He was very good about explaining alternatives to me so I could make informed decisions. I even hired him to do another plumbing project while he was there and he handled that with no problems at all. He has very high standards and was very clean and neat. I would hire him again and have already referred him to a friend."

"After dealing with frequent roof repairs, we finally decided on a complete replacement for our Livermore home. Avi kept us informed every step of the way, and the finished roof exceeded our expectations. It's made a noticeable difference during hot summer days."

"We recently had our deck enclosed to create some additional living space and we’re really happy with how everything turned out. The work came out great and the addition blends in really well with the existing house. The team was easy to work with, responsive, and made the whole process pretty smooth. We’re very happy with the final result and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to do a remodel or home addition."

Deck Repair questions, answered by experts

It’s best to prime composite decking before painting. This promotes better paint adhesion, helps create a smooth finish, and can mean the paint job will last longer. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application, allow ample primer drying time before painting (typically 24 to 48 hours), and thoroughly clean the deck boards to promote the best adhesion.

Building codes for deck railings can vary by location, so it's important to consult your local regulations before construction. Generally, a guardrail is required for any deck that is more than 30 inches above the ground.

For residential properties, the standard minimum height for a deck railing is 36 inches. However, some states and municipalities have stricter requirements; for example, California and Washington mandate railings that are at least 42 inches high. Therefore, a 42-inch railing is not considered too high and may be required in your area or chosen voluntarily for additional safety.

In addition to height requirements, codes also specify other safety features, such as the maximum spacing between balusters to ensure they are close enough to prevent a child from squeezing through.

There are several methods for attaching stair stringers to a deck. The best way is to bolt the stringers to the deck joists using three carriage bolts in a triangular pattern. This method offers the sturdiest fit for stairs that won’t budge. Alternatively, attach the stringers to the deck rims using lag bolts or to the posts using adjustable slope hangers.

While you can use various materials like sand or even just soil, gravel is widely considered the best option to put under a deck. It provides excellent drainage and is resistant to water, fire, and pests. Gravel also helps anchor the soil to prevent erosion during heavy rain and acts as a built-in weed blocker, reducing regular upkeep. Furthermore, it is simple to spread, available in various textures and tones, and adds a polished look that complements any deck design.

You can use a few different tactics to prevent your deck gate from sagging. Aside from using strong, rot-resistant woods, introducing a diagonal element—such as a tension rod or solid piece of wood to act as a brace—across the gate will offer better support. You can also use rigid joists to prevent the gate from sagging.
