"Joe has done an awesome job on 3 rental units to date. We'll definitely use him on our upcoming projects. He's always prompt and does exactly what he says he will do and more. I was very surprised that the units were left super clean. He's been a gem to work with. Would highly recommend him."

"Once we gotten started things went well. While they were ready to go in Sept. I was hoping to have some windows replaced (hail damage) before they painted. Finally I agreed to go ahead because we had an excellent window of opportunity weatherwise. The onsite project manager, John  Pandolphi was present to ensure things went smoothly, provide supplies and check on the crew. John made himself available by cell phone if I had any questions etc.The crew was always prompt and arrived at the agreed upon time. They always cleaned up thoroughly at the end of the day. I allowed them to store some ladders in my yard during their work period. Jay and the crew were friendly, respectful and easy to work with.

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

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.

Deck stairs should have at least three stringers rather than two. The recommended minimum width for stairs is 36 inches, and the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors recommends at least three cut stringers to provide sufficient support on wood decking stairs of this width. Generally, stringers should be a maximum of 16 inches apart for wood decking and 12 inches apart for more flexible composite decking.

Composite decking requires a solid foundation, substructure, or subframe to ensure stability. This base is typically composed of posts, beams, joists, and footings. The frame's joists can be built from various materials like composite, plastic, timber, or metal, as long as the base can support the deck's weight without shifting. A professional deck builder might recommend installing the frame on a solid concrete base for added durability. The final design and materials for the substructure will depend on your budget, the type of deck, and environmental conditions.

No, you don't need to stain Ipe decking, although you can if you want to change the color. You will, however, need to apply a UV coating if you don't want the natural color to fade. Speak to a deck staining specialist near you to discuss the best options if you want to stain your decking. And remember that you’ll need to seal your Ipe wood deck annually to protect it from scratches and Mother Nature.

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.
