"They meticulously sanded the deck, which was a lot of work.  This was done with a hand-held rotary sander-- we were really impressed.  They stained the deck two times to begin with.  Likely due to sun bleaching, there were some areas on the deck that were lighter than the rest.  I asked Dave to add some stain to those areas, and he was happy to do that.  In the end, they put much more stain on our deck than would normally go on a deck for staining, but our deck needed extra because it was in such bad shape.  For the patio cover, they painted the beams at least 2 times with the blue paint that they purchased and matched to our house trim.  They purchased the lattice, stained it, cut it, and attached it to the beams.  Everything looked beautiful!  We were very happy that we had decided to go with Dave's suggestion of painting the cross beams (and support beams) of the patio cover with blue paint-- it ended up looked very nice!  Like Dave had suggested, it really did make the patio tie-in with the color scheme of the house.  There was one very minor thing that I asked Dave to correct when I made the final payment (the lattice needed re-tacking in a couple places), and they came back later to fix that.  Overall, I was very happy with their work, and very impressed with their professionalism. They did have some scheduling challenges and as a result the work took longer than expected (approx. two weeks instead of one week), but this was not a big inconvenience for us."

"I bought the Big Deal which was just for a single top coat to reseal the deck surface.  However, my deck was in a little bit worse shape than the deal allowed.  However, Ryan was awesome and added in sanding and then did the reseal for no additional charge.  The surface is not perfect but that is due to the rough pre-condition it was in and not his fault.  Shortly after the reseal the deck drains started leaking in to the garage below.  Ryan and crew came out again to fix the drain at no additional cost.  Again, this was not in the deal I bought but they provide such great customer service.  I would definitely use them again and will recommend them to friends and neighbors!

"I am very satisfied with Eugene’s work on a kitchen and bedroom renovation project in Tahoe City. Throughout the project he was a great communicator. He was responsive and he met his timeline and commitments. The quality of the work did not disappoint. It’s incredibly rare to find a contractor that finishes work on time, and on target, but Eugene is that person. I recommend Eugene without reservation."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

A covered deck can be a good investment that increases your home value—especially if you live in a hot region with a lot of sun. A covering over the deck means you can get more use out of it, even on the hottest summer days. With a permanent deck covering, you can even add ceiling fans to help cool down your deck for added comfort.

Generally, a patio is more accessible than a standard deck because patios are constructed at ground level. However, decks can be made accessible by adding a wheelchair-accessible ramp, a vertical lift, or a stair lift along the entry. An ADA-compliant deck ramp costs about $3,000 on average. The additional investment will provide a much friendlier experience for your guests with movement impairments.

Most building codes require that railing spindles (also known as balusters) on decks or stairs be spaced no more than four inches apart. This safety standard is often called the '4-inch sphere rule,' which means a sphere with a 4-inch diameter should not be able to pass through the opening between balusters. This rule is in place to prevent small children and pets from slipping through the railing. For the same reason, the space between the bottom rail and the deck or floor surface 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 essential to check your local building codes to ensure compliance before starting your project.

Yes, Ipe is more expensive than Trex decking—both in terms of materials and installation (plus, Ipe trees are endangered). On average, Ipe decking costs $10 to $25 per square foot, while Trex decking costs $5 to $12 per square foot. Because Ipe is harder to work with, the price of installation is higher, too. For Ipe decking, you’ll pay between $20 and $45 per square foot for labor. However, with Trex decking, the labor costs range from $8 to $22 per square foot.

In most cases, there should be a small gap between the house and the deck, usually no more than ½ to ¾ of an inch. This space allows water and moisture to flow through instead of pooling against the side of your house. It also lets flashing protect your siding from runoff, which is one of the most common issues with decks.
