"Ken was always prompt which was appreciated. Many contractors do not come to work when they say they will. Ken diagnosed the problem with our roof deck and then fixed the problem. Other contractors just wanted to have us pay for an entirely new deck. We will hire him again."

"Bill and Jim (Bennett Bros Painting Inc.) were great. Our garage walls needed to be completed. Their team came in, finished the mudding, and repaired the walls, getting them ready for painting. Jim and Bill then came in and painted the ceiling and walls. The process was easy, and the final product turned out fantastic. They exceeded all of our expectations. Additionally, we were in a time crunch, and they worked with us to get everything done within the required timeframe. Bill and Jim were professional, on time, and communicated effectively, making the process easy. We would hire Bennett Bros Painting again for future projects."

Deck Repair questions, answered by experts

You do not have to dig footers for a deck as long as it meets local code and holds up to weather in your area. If you live somewhere that experiences high winds and earthquakes, you may need to dig for your deck posts. Deck blocks, post anchors with base plates, and helical pile systems are the three no-dig deck post options you can choose from if local code permits.

Materials for a second-story deck must be weather- and rot-resistant, though the specific choices will largely be determined by your budget and style preference. Pressure-treated wood is on the lower end of the price scale, but it can be customized and stained the way you like it. Composite, on the other hand, is pricier for installation and has fewer options for customization, but you’ll save money and time in the long run because it requires little maintenance.

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.

Applying too much sealer to a deck might seem like extra protection, but it can cause more harm than good. Wood is a porous material with a limited capacity to absorb liquids. When you go overboard with sealer, the excess can't soak in and instead forms a film on the surface. This leftover layer is prone to peeling, cracking, and trapping moisture, ultimately defeating the purpose of sealing in the first place. 

Whether to paint or stain a deck depends on your personal preference for appearance and budget. Stain provides a natural look with a range of undertones, is typically less expensive, and may only require one coat, but it does not last as long as paint. Paint offers a sleeker finish with a virtually unlimited color palette. Both options will protect your deck from outdoor elements like rain, snow, and general wear and tear.
