"Juan and his team are amazing. Juan is very knowledgeable, and was always quick to respond to our questions. He and everyone that worked on our project was extremely kind and respectful of our home. They demoed our old deck and put in a new patio, we couldn’t be happier with the way the process has gone. Highly recommend Bernal Concrete!!"

"I would 100% recommend Higher Ground Irrigation & Lawn Care. I needed the post replaced on my gate and they did a quick and excellent job. Seriously, contacted them /(and bunch others) on Tuesday, they came out the next day to quote and did not pressure me. Then when I gave the green light, they told me they can begin work Friday and finish completely Saturday morning as the cement needs to set. Exactly what they said they did. Very nice people and very professional and affordable!"

"Christian, the owner, is honest, trustworthy, spent time exploring what was best solution for me instead of best solution for him. He stripped the deck and railings from a horrible textured coating that previous homeowner put on the deck. Other contractors didn't want to do the stripping. Christian is a perfectionist."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

In most cases, your deck will need some form of deck footing to hold it in place, preventing moisture from rotting your wood and decreasing your deck’s lifespan. Concrete deck blocks are the most common type of footing for floating decks. Some homeowners use ground-level deck footings. For added security, consider digging and laying your ground-level footings below ground.

Your deck may pop, and your neighbor’s deck may not for a number of reasons. Whether or not a deck pops will depend on how it was made, the conditions it’s exposed to, and the materials. Improper spacing is a common reason for increased pressure between deck boards. Moisture penetration is another.

Yes, it is generally safe to have a fire pit on a deck, but you must adhere to building codes and take several safety precautions. For both built-in and freestanding models, you must use a heat-resistant barrier, such as a fire pit pad or heat shield, between the pit and the deck. Additionally, consider the weight of the fire pit and ensure your deck can structurally support it, reinforcing it if necessary. The fire pit must also be positioned a safe distance from your house, particularly from materials like vinyl siding, to prevent heat damage.

Unless you’re using a 2-in-1 formula or painting over an existing coat of paint, it pays to apply a coat of primer ahead of your new paint. Decks see a lot of footfall and exposure to extreme and sudden temperature changes and moisture levels. The primer promotes better paint adhesion, moisture repellency, and a smoother finish, which means you’ll often need fewer coats of paint. 

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet.
