"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."

"Sharon and Ed came out. They were very professional, measured and gave us options. Within a couple of days, we had a bid broken down by components. As we gathered other bids, no one was like OC Decks in professionalism. We were so glad that we went with them. They communicated with us throughout the process. We never had to guess what was going to happen. The guys showed up early and worked all day. The only delay was for the timber tech due to back log at the port. They went over and beyond to make our deck spectacular. I have never had such a pleasant experience with a remodel. I can not thank them enough for making the process so smooth and for the gorgeous deck and railing we now have."

"Steve and his team removed a load bearing wall, installed new cabinets, ran new electrical outlets in our kitchen, slab cut new electrical to a new island, and installed new flooring throughout the house. This was a bi project for our family, and I can’t say enough good things about Steve’s responsiveness. We had a number of contractors bid on our job, and Steve was the best by far when it came to talking us through the process. He was excellent when it came to changes, and recommended suppliers that fit our budget. He has an eye for quality, and if something isn’t done right he makes sure it’s fixed. Great company, great owner, great workers!@"

"The GoodFellas Construction Team is the best. We have a new home in a new unfamiliar area so we asked our neighbor and she said she had a room addition from GoodFellas Construction and was gushing about the service and the new room. I wanted to renovate everything. The GoodFellas Construction Team helped me completely re-do my kitchen which included; custom cabinets with design specific drawers, granite countertops,  backsplash (subway tile), recessed lighting,  island addition and etc.,), we also had the floors re-done and added a farm house slide door to create separation between our kitchen and laundry room. We also two bathrooms that they worked on which included; new vanities with granite countertops and tile flooring. We also updated the plumbing and electrical because light dimmers are a must for the kitchen, and we were due for some new plumbing. 
The Team was very professional, honest, and responsive. We were in touch almost every day and he kept me up to date on the status of the project. The renovation process took 2 months since there was some complications with the city but my project manager made sure everything worked out and I could tell he genuinely cared. The GoodFellas team made sure that I was in constant contract during the remodel. 
Everyone that comes over to my place LOVES how everything turned out, especially the exquisite tile work in the kitchen back splash, the floors and the worksmanship in the two bathrooms. I've recommended the GoodFellas to all my friends and neighbors and will continue to do so because they are so amazing. 

Update! We had a problem with one of the recessed lighting and gave them a call and they sent someone right out to look at the light and fixed it on the spot no problems at all!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, it’s definitely possible to build a pergola on an existing deck. All you need to do is attach the pergola support beams to the deck’s joists and build up from there. Beware that mistakes can damage your deck, so if you’re at all unsure of the process, play it safe and hire a pro for your custom build.

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. 

Choices include wood, composite, and hardwoods, each with unique benefits.

Yes, snow should be removed from a deck to protect it from damage caused by moisture and heavy loads. Shovel the snow off of your deck regularly once it is more than four inches deep. Avoid using salt, which can damage your deck.
