"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."

"We were very happy with the way that the proprietor worked with us to choose the right colors for our home. The crew he put on the job were professional and extremely courteous and took good care to protect the house while doing the paint job. There was also substantial drywall work involved, which was done with a very high degree of competence"

"We contacted Mr. Parks via Angie's List.  His answer to our request was prompt and professional.  We set a date for the work and Mr. Parks followed up with a phone call.  He again called to verify and arrived right on time.  Their work was done quickly and professionally and our property was left clean and neat.  We highly recommend Thomas Parks Contracting.

"Gary and his crew were there on time and worked to get this job done in one day, knowing how big of an inconvenience it is to have people and materials in your bedroom and living room.  The attention to detail (filling nail holes, caulking, etc.) was excellent.  They moved all furniture and put it back without issue.  Gary has followed up with us to do some minor touch-up work after carpet was installed, even though he's already been paid for the job. Will definitely use on any future interior paint job."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

There are more pros than cons when staining a deck. Deck stain is more affordable than paint, it protects the wood and allows the natural textures to shine through, and it can revive the appearance of your home. However, deck stain also requires prep work (sometimes days or more), carries more upkeep than a painted deck, and can fade over time if not cared for. 

Choosing whether your deck should be lighter or darker than your house is a matter of personal preference, as there is no right or wrong answer. However, considering the pros and cons of each can help guide your decision. Darker colors are often chosen because they show less dirt, footprints, and marks from daily wear, making them easier to keep clean. On the other hand, lighter deck colors tend to stay cooler in the summer. From a design perspective, using a deck color that contrasts with your home's exterior can help make the deck a more defined and distinct feature. Consulting color theory can also make the process of choosing a complementary house and deck color combination easier.

How long it takes to install composite decking depends on the size of the decking material, the skills of the person installing the deck, the number of people helping, and how much prep work needs to be done before you can begin. Generally speaking, it takes anywhere from a few days to several weeks to build a composite deck.

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.

Yes, and in some cases, frozen ground may improve the digging process for footings due to sturdier conditions. It’s easier than working in muddy conditions, which are more common in the spring. Contractors may use machinery that makes this step a breeze, so harder ground shouldn’t affect the building process.
