"After conducting a site visit where I noted the scope of the project would probably extend to re-painting the home exterior, he noted that he did decking only and advised us to find someone who could do both jobs. We greatly appreciated the advice and are following that course of action."

Customers say: Terrific value

"I found Dwight and was very happy to have done so.. Hired him for multiple projects on a rental house, and also to fix up that house for eventual sale. He's extremely capable; has very good solutions (even ones I never even considered!); he's honest; he's hard working; he's very reasonable in price; and he desires always to do quality work. If only EVERY contractor or handyman could be like Dwight! Because of all of his well deserved 5 stars in Home Advisor, he does get a little busy at times (of course!). But, for me, he'd go the extra mile above and way beyond my expectations to get work squeezed into his schedule and even came over late several nights to get work done I had to have done within my time schedule. If I could, I'd give him 6 stars. All well earned!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

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.

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. 

Cold temperatures can make your deck boards contract. If they don’t contract evenly, they can put pressure on the deck screws and cause them to pop out, making a noticeable sound. Winterizing your deck can help prevent this from happening.

It’s important to make sure the wood on a new deck is properly seasoned. Seasoning a deck is simple: Once you build it (or have a pro do so), just leave it alone so it can acclimate to the environment. If you don’t give the deck proper seasoning time before staining, the stain can lock in any lingering moisture and cause mold, rot, and other moisture issues down the road. Give the wood at least four to eight weeks to season before you stain.

Yes, it is possible to build a small, basic deck for $5,000, particularly if you use less expensive materials and a simple design. To stay within this budget, consider a size under 10x12 feet and use affordable materials like pressure-treated wood or cedar. While the general cost for deck building ranges from $4,350 to $12,560, with an average around $8,200, some projects can be completed for as little as $4,350. You can also save on labor costs by doing the work yourself, but be aware that mistakes could end up costing more than hiring a professional. A contractor may have a higher upfront cost, but they can ensure a safe, stable deck that will last.
