"I was in the process of selling a house and found out that we would have to have a new deck installed immediately before the closing date. We found Northern Colorado Residential Services and Cory could not have been more helpful or professional. Despite being a somewhat difficult customer, Cory bent over backwards to meet our tight time constraints and to work with our budget. I’d highly recommend this company to anyone in need of home improvement work. Their customer service is outstanding."

"John did an A++ job - I had called several other contractors whose estimates were three times higher and the quality of John's work was superior. My homebuilder had installed the front porch stonework over the top of the decking, so it was not an easy job and involved carefully removing the old decking to install the new deck. What I was most impressed by though is that John was focused primarily on what would be most cost effective for me. When he reworked the stairs, he figured out a way to do them so that we could retain the vertical stonework while not costing s fortune. John went with me to compare decking products and made sure that my investment was a good one. I would not hesitate to use Omni services again in the future.

"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

Staining and sealing the underside of a deck creates a moisture barrier but traps water in the boards, quickly leading to rot. No matter how well you seal the above deck, water still gets through via nails and screw heads on the surface. Allow this water to flow naturally under the deck, where it is routed through the drainage system.

Decks require several inspections during and after the building process, but the specifics vary depending on where you live. Most areas mandate that decks comply with local building codes and safety regulations for the foundation, framing, and structure. Some pros recommend a footing inspection, which verifies the depth, width, and location of the various footings to ensure they offer enough foundational support.

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.

Most building codes list a minimum width of 36 inches and a maximum height of 7¾ inches. However, for the most comfort and spaciousness, you’ll want to aim for a width of at least 48 inches and a height of 7 inches. Again, it’s always a good idea to base your numbers off steps that you already use comfortably.

Both deck footings and deck posts help prop up your deck. However, footings are the bottommost parts of a deck that touch the ground. They’re usually made of concrete. Posts are pieces of wood that attach to the top of the footings with brackets. They run upwards and connect to the underside of your deck to support its weight.
