"The owner of the company, Roland, stayed in good communication with us until the scheduled day of the project. His team of workers were neat, clean, respectful and worked efficiently to conclude the job in a timely manner. We interviewed and got bids from 6-7 other companies and not only did they not know how to do this particular job, their estimates were ridiculously high priced. Roland quoted us a very fair and reasonable price and it did not fluctuate. It was refreshing to do business with this company!"

"We hired Michael and his company, Northgate Development to repair an old deck in our backyard. It soon became obvious that the deck was not salvageable. After discussing it with Michael he gave us several options - replacing all the deck boards with redwood or with Trex deck boards. He was very patient in explaining the pros and cons of each option and the prices involved. In the end we decided to go with Trex. His installation of the deck with new supports and water proofing was beyond what I thought he would do. His employee Angel craftsmanship was excellent. When I identified a problem with one of the deck boards, he replaced it without problem. In the end, we spent more than we had budgeted but we are really happy with the results. If you need deck work, I recommend hiring Michael and his team."

"An engineering friend recommended that I contact Farid to inquire about his carpentry skills, after seeing his work on a few projects. Farid personally came out, drafted a proposal after carefully inspecting the necessary repairs, and worked regularly and diligently to vastly improve the strength and appearance of my 17 year old backyard structure. It was a very pleasant experience overall, and Farid and his assistant Eddie did a beautiful job. Would hire again."

"I cannot say enough about Denali National Construction Company and itâ s owners Victor and Mayra! Along with their excellent crew they made my unexpected project of extensive wood repair and whole house painting go smoothly from start to finish! Mayra immediately answered all questions and immediately returned all phone calls. The guys were there 7:30am sharp every single day, worked hard, and left the job spotless each late afternoon. Victor came by even if he was not working on my house that day to check on how everything was going. I had asked Victor to please also take care of any unforeseen issues which he did without hesitation. My house looks beautiful and all because of Victor and his dedicated workers who not only did an excellent job, but really cared about what they were doing! Endless thanks to Denali National Construction Company for their honesty, integrity, and commitment to getting the job done â … right!!!"

Deck Repair FAQs, answered by experts

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

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.

The cost to build a deck around a pool typically ranges from $3,000 to $12,000, depending on the size, material, and whether you tackle the build yourself. Most people pay an average of $5,000 for their pool deck project. Hiring a pro to build a pool will cost you more for labor, but it will be worth it to ensure a safe and secure installation.

Coping is the material that lines the perimeter of a pool and seals the transition between the top of the pool wall and the water. Decking surrounds the poolscape and extends far beyond the water's edge to provide a safe walking and lounging area. In short, coping is the border between the decking and the pool itself.

No, you don’t need a permit to repair and replace a few boards on an existing deck. However, if you’re making structural changes to the deck or tearing down the old one and building a new one, you will likely need a permit. Check with your local municipality for the regulations and rules in your area, or ask a local contractor who builds decks for advice.
