"I asked Rusty to come out to see my deck and discuss what maintenance and repair needs to be done now to help the deck last. I showed him what I thought my problem areas and concerns were. He reassured me that my deck was in better shape than I thought and pointed out a few boards that should be replaced. The best part was he gave me a great education and advice about what I can do to take better care of my deck going forward - not just what to do, but what not to do as well. Very friendly and professional. I really appreciated his time and expert advice."

"I had 4 decks that were approx all the same size. Were 20 yrs odd and original wood. I chatted with Cid to see options. He checked them out and had two options ... Sand and Seal or replace the top decking. We were looking for a long term solution so we choose the replacement. Cid helped guide us to the right material and we choose Timbertech with no breaks which meant 18' lengths. Quick, efficient, total cleanup. Cid returned for some post project adjustments and all is perfect. Highly recommend. Jack/Castle Pines Village"

"Need a deck? Have a deck? Either one and The Deck Guy is your “go to” company. Call Barron at 303-564-9505, They just completed periodic maintenance on our 38-year-old, 600 sq. ft., redwood deck. It looks like NEW as it did after their past work. That’s why we again called The Deck Guy. The workers who power washed, prepped, and re-stained our deck were knowledgeable, professional, and consistently demonstrated their commitment to us as customers. The weather was often too hot or too rainy and it messed with the schedule, but we were promptly updated. You tell the quality of a work team by how they interact with each other. Regardless of which tasks or who were are on-site it was always a great team. The quality of the worker surely comes from the values of Barron. He’s the owner and he’s The Deck Guy."

"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."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Before installing a deck, you must build a base for the deck to rest upon, often made of compacted soil or gravel. While gravel is an optional material, it helps with drainage. Some contractors also recommend installing a weed control membrane, which helps provide a solid foundation for the frame. In the case of an elevated deck, a pro will often lay down a concrete slab as a foundation. 

Most building codes require that spindles or balusters on deck and stair railings be spaced no more than four inches apart. This safety standard, often called the '4-inch sphere rule,' is designed to prevent small children or pets from slipping through the railing. A good way to visualize this is that a 4-inch sphere should not be able to pass between two spindles. For the same safety reason, the space between the bottom rail and the deck floor 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 crucial to check your local building codes to ensure compliance before starting your project.

Yes, Ipe wood is a popular high-end choice for pool decking. It repels water and is naturally slip-resistant. It's not susceptible to mold, mildew, or rot, either, so it lasts longer and is cleaner and more hygienic than other popular decking materials. However, remember that due to its status, it is a very high-cost wood, and you might find that an alternative would serve you just as well for significantly less.

It’s best to prime composite decking before painting. This promotes better paint adhesion, helps create a smooth finish, and can mean the paint job will last longer. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application, allow ample primer drying time before painting (typically 24 to 48 hours), and thoroughly clean the deck boards to promote the best adhesion.

A deck doesn’t have to be perfectly level. Many pros even recommend a gentle slope to ensure proper drainage and increase longevity. The ideal gentle slope is about 1/8 to 1/4 inch per foot away from the property, leading water away from the home to prevent pooling and reduce the risk of damage. It also minimizes rot, mold, and other moisture-related problems.
