"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."

"Marshall repaired and upgraded our deck and also completed many other small handyman projects around the house in preparation for a home sale. He and his team did great work. He was also very responsive and met or exceeded promised timeframes for completion. He also proactively followed up afterward to ensure everything was satisfactory. Highly recommended!"

"I recently had the pleasure of hiring Valenzuela Fence to build a fence around my property, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From start to finish, their attention to detail was impeccable. Not only did they work with remarkable speed, but the quality of their workmanship truly exceeded my expectations. Every component of the fence was constructed with the utmost care, using materials that clearly prioritize durability and longevity. What impressed me the most was how perfectly square and beautifully crafted the fence turned out. It's evident that they take great pride in their work, as every inch of the fence reflects a commitment to excellence. Moreover, the team was incredibly professional throughout the entire process. They were respectful of my property and addressed any concerns I had with patience and understanding. Without hesitation, I would hire Valenzuela Fence again for any future projects, and I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone in need of a reliable and skilled fencing contractor. Their work speaks for itself, and I am beyond satisfied with the results."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

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.

You typically don’t need a railing and handrails on a deck that’s less than 30 inches from the ground. However, consider adding them regardless. Railings provide additional safety for you and your guests who use your deck—plus, railings give the deck a more finished look than it would have without them.

Ultimately, overapplication of stain can compromise the deck's appearance, durability, and longevity. It may result in an uneven finish, with excess stain pooling, dripping, or drying into thick patches. It can also obscure the wood's natural grain and texture, detracting from the desired aesthetic. Moreover, excessive staining may not fully penetrate the wood, leading to poor adhesion and premature wear. Additionally, thick layers of stain are prone to peeling, cracking, and blistering as they struggle to bond with the surface. 

Coping is the material that lines the perimeter of a pool and seals the transition between the top of the pool wall and the water. Decking surrounds the poolscape and extends far beyond the water's edge to provide a safe walking and lounging area. In short, coping is the border between the decking and the pool itself.

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.
