"This job could not have gone better. We are so pleased with the results. From the very beginning when Chris came to evaluate the work to be done, right up to today when the last bit of touching up was finished, it has been a real pleasure to have Tolbert and Sons in our home. Avery and Kevin were real pros, arriving on time, going right to work, and giving us great service while they treated our house with great care. Anything we asked of Chris and his team was met with a smile, and a "we're here for you" attitude. Thanks so much, guys. You are the best. Five stars to every one of you."

I have been in the industry for the last 9 years, and love everything I do. My own business just started 2 weeks ago as Rogans Contracting. We do a handful of projects from remodeling bathrooms, plumbing work, electrical work, landscaping, flooring, decks and patios, and many more. As a team we would love to get out and into the community a little more, hopefully you'll be the next one we get to meet.

"His work was outstanding in all respects. He was completely trustworthy.  His price was right in the middle of all the estimates I got. In my case he stuck to his estimate but he didn't find any unexpected damage while he was working either. He did the job in 4 hours less than quoted maximum time frame. I'd have no hesitation in recommending his services are using his services again.

"Oh my word, I hired them to power wash my desk railings and we have a lot of them. Three guys showed up, all pleasant and professional, they must have spent all afternoon working on my railings. I thought it would take an hour at most, but no, they went to town, power washing everything in sight, my umbrella that had mildew on it, the decks, other fence areas, etc. they just took it upon themselves to get the whole place cleaned up. And at the price they initially quoted me. There was not a spot of dirt or grime left. I have never before seen such an amazing job being done. They used ladders, ropes, bent over railings, went upside down on the railings, sideways, from the back and the front, got every bit of dirt off. I wish I had photos but I am not there now. The railings had mildew and were all green, it it spotless, all white now. I can’t thank them enough, you will be very pleased using them, I promise you. Thank you Ortiz, see you again next year! Atttttttt Service, price and professionalism!"

Deck Repair FAQs, answered by experts

The proper height for a stair riser or deck step is between four and seven inches, with seven inches often considered the most comfortable. Building your stairs to this height ensures a strain-free step position and minimizes the risk of trip and fall injuries. For optimal safety and comfort, especially on deck stairs, a rise of around seven inches should be paired with a tread depth (or run) of at least 10 to 12 inches. While it is possible to design stairs with risers up to 12 inches, this height can be challenging for children, pets, or individuals with mobility issues. Always check with your local building codes, as they may mandate specific dimensions that differ from these general recommendations.

PVC decking tends to be cooler than composite because the material is less dense and absorbs less heat. However, it depends on the deck’s color. A dark-colored PVC deck may run hotter than a light-colored composite deck. If you’re concerned about your deck getting too hot, it’s best to stick to a light color such as beige or gray.

In most cases, there should be a small gap between the house and the deck, usually no more than ½ to ¾ of an inch. This space allows water and moisture to flow through instead of pooling against the side of your house. It also lets flashing protect your siding from runoff, which is one of the most common issues with decks.

Composite decking requires a solid foundation or substructure for support. This base is typically a frame composed of posts, beams, joists, and footings. The frame can be built from various materials, such as composite, plastic, timber, or metal, depending on your budget, deck type, and environmental conditions. For maximum stability, a professional deck builder may recommend installing this frame on top of a solid concrete base. It is best to discuss the most suitable substructure design and materials for your specific project with a professional.

Choosing whether your deck should be lighter or darker than your house is a matter of personal preference, as there is no right or wrong answer. However, considering the pros and cons of each can help guide your decision. Darker colors are often chosen because they show less dirt, footprints, and marks from daily wear, making them easier to keep clean. On the other hand, lighter deck colors tend to stay cooler in the summer. From a design perspective, using a deck color that contrasts with your home's exterior can help make the deck a more defined and distinct feature. Consulting color theory can also make the process of choosing a complementary house and deck color combination easier.
