Q: Do I need to seal the underside of a deck?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Why does my deck pop and not my neighbor’s?

• <div><p>Your deck may pop, and your neighbor&rsquo;s deck may not for a number of reasons. Whether or not a deck pops will depend on how it was made, the conditions it&rsquo;s exposed to, and the materials. Improper spacing is a common reason for increased pressure between deck boards. Moisture penetration is another. </p></div>

Q: Is Ipe more expensive than Trex decking?

• <div><p>Yes, Ipe is more expensive than Trex decking&mdash;both in terms of materials and installation (plus, Ipe trees are endangered). On average, Ipe decking costs $10 to $25 per square foot, while <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-cost-trex-decking.htm">Trex decking costs</a> $5 to $12 per square foot. Because Ipe is harder to work with, the price of installation is higher, too. For Ipe decking, you&rsquo;ll pay between $20 and $45 per square foot for labor. However, with Trex decking, the labor costs range from $8 to $22 per square foot.</p></div>

Q: What is the proper and most comfortable height for deck stair risers?

• <div><p>The proper and most comfortable height for a deck stair riser, also called a step, is between four and seven inches. A height of seven inches is often considered ideal for a strain-free step that minimizes the risk of trips and falls. While it is possible to have risers up to 12 inches, this height can be challenging for children, pets, or individuals with mobility issues. For optimal safety and comfort, pair a seven-inch riser with a tread depth (or run) of at least 10 to 12 inches. Always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements that differ from these general recommendations.</p></div>

Q: How often and at what time of year should I clean my deck?

• <div><p>It is recommended to clean your deck once or twice a year to prevent the accumulation of dirt, debris, mold, and mildew. The ideal times for cleaning are in the spring and fall. A spring cleaning removes grime that has built up over the winter, preparing your deck for summer use. A fall cleaning washes away messes from summer activities, preventing them from setting into the wood over the winter. The exact frequency can depend on factors such as how often the deck is used, its exposure to pollen, and whether salt was used on it during the winter. Regular cleaning helps protect the wood and its finish from damage.</p></div>
