"Super pleased with this company. Hired to do general maintenance on our home, then had him install our rock and mulch beds with our plants and flowers. We recently had him do our clean up for fall. Highly recommend to anyone. Dan the owner is very nice, professional, punctuation and his prices are very fair but most importantly to us is his quality of work. With everything we have had his company do they have always went above and beyond our expectations. Hard to find anyone these days that takes pride in thier work. Will definitely be using his services for any of needs."

"He was very good. He did a really nice job. I had to have him come back and hang a blind that was ordered and it took me a while to put it back to hang it because I didn't know how to hang it. The bathroom work was beautiful. It was very well done. It was very fast, very good workmanship overall and he had good ideas. As a matter of fact my daughter used him after I did to do a bathroom at her house and she is very satisfied too. The quality was excellent."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

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.

Any wood deck provides some ventilation to the area below, as is the nature of that type of deck design. However, areas that experience excessive humidity and associated moisture benefit greatly from a dedicated ventilation system in the form of strip vents. This addition helps the various wood boards contract and expand evenly throughout the years and reduces the chances of twisting, warping, and buckling.

The best base materials for a ground-level or floating deck are typically gravel and crushed stone (also known as landscaping rocks). These options are inexpensive, provide excellent drainage, prevent weeds, and help minimize moisture buildup, which reduces shifting and rotting. For added stability and to evenly distribute the weight, you can use concrete deck blocks or pavers. While more expensive, concrete blocks and pavers offer a sturdier base than gravel or crushed stone alone.

Pressure-treated wood contains preservatives that give the material internal protection from rot and pests. Untreated lumber won’t last more than a few years unless you choose a more expensive wood, like cedar, that naturally stands up well to moisture. Composite decking can outlast wood but is more expensive and doesn’t look as natural. Keep in mind that you’ll need to seal any exterior wood product to protect it from the elements and other forms of external damage.

Floating decks are a cost-effective and versatile option, but they come with some compromises. Since they sit on smaller footings instead of being deeply anchored, they’re more likely to shift over time, especially in areas with heavy rainfall or freeze-thaw conditions. Their low-to-the-ground design makes them more susceptible to moisture buildup and potential water damage.
