"This is the second project where I had worked with Jim and his crew, and I highly recommend their work and professionalism. Jim has great communication about the project timeline and takes time to check in along the way to ensure that the work was progressing as we had envisioned. Any changes (on my part) was handled with utmost attention and Jim was very good about providing alternate ideas as well as educating us on the added time to the project. We absolutely love our new metal deck railing and the updated Trex stairs and fascia boards makes this a truly maintenance free deck. I would certainly work with Jim for any future projects."

"Valente and his team did a great job with our yard. They demoed our deck, replaced it with a stamped concrete patio, added a sidewalk, replaced a 150' section of fence, and updated our landscape and sprinkler system to complement the new patio. All of the work completed was of high quality, and Valente kept us apprised of changes, challenges and recommendations throughout the job. Valente is open, honest and direct so there were no surprises on the cost of the work. He and his team were wonderful to work with and we are hoping to use them again for other projects we have on our list."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Whether composite decking is better than wood depends on your priorities, especially regarding budget and maintenance. Composite decking offers superior longevity (30 to 50 years) and durability, and it is low-maintenance, requiring no sanding, staining, or sealing. In contrast, wood decks typically last 10 to 30 years and need refinishing every few years. While the upfront cost of composite is higher than wood, the reduced maintenance can lead to long-term savings. If a lower initial cost is the primary factor, wood is the more affordable choice.

Building a deck is often worth the investment, not only because it provides more utility to your yard and gives you more space to entertain but also because decks tend to add value to your home. Keep in mind that second-story decks often require concrete footings, which means they will bump up your property taxes, while decks built on the first story generally don’t require a permanent foundation and won’t affect your taxes. Even with the tax increase, decks are usually a good investment in the long run.

In many areas, a floating deck that isn’t connected to your home and stays under 200 square feet and below 30 inches in height may not need a permit. These freestanding structures are often considered low-risk, which can simplify the building process. However, building codes vary greatly based on location. Before investing in any home improvement project, check with your local permitting office for deck-building guidelines.

Building codes for deck railings can vary by location, so it's important to consult your local regulations before construction. Generally, a guardrail is required for any deck that is more than 30 inches above the ground.

For residential properties, the standard minimum height for a deck railing is 36 inches. However, some states and municipalities have stricter requirements; for example, California and Washington mandate railings that are at least 42 inches high. Therefore, a 42-inch railing is not considered too high and may be required in your area or chosen voluntarily for additional safety.

In addition to height requirements, codes also specify other safety features, such as the maximum spacing between balusters to ensure they are close enough to prevent a child from squeezing through.

It depends on the type of wood. The average cost to build a deck out of pressure-treated lumber is $15 to $25 per square foot, but more affordable varieties such as bamboo and cedar cost less at around $3 to $10 per square foot. However, when comparing the cost of vinyl decking versus wood decking, it’s important to also consider ongoing maintenance costs. For example, most woods require regular sealing to keep them protected against weather and rot.
