I will not use them going forward."

I began working in the construction industry by my father’s side more than 20 ago. I had the privilege of learning from the regions best craftsmen... Professionals who took pride in their work and cared for their customers. My father worked with men that shared his impeccable standards, integrity and drive to do the job the right way every single time the FIRST time. While they taught me the trades, my father shared with me everything he could about business, instilling in me a strong work ethic and a set of core values that will never, ever change. I branched out on my own and opened ceccola construction 16 years ago. I believe our success continues year after year because of our integrity, craftsmanship, and my enthusiasm toward my work. It is very rewarding to me to know that my clients are so happy that they refer me to their friends and family over and over and over. Although the construction industry has changed quite a bit since I pounded my first nail, the way you should be treated has not. We have all the new gadgets, tools and materials, but most importantly, we will always treat you with respect and care.

"They did everything I wanted perfectly. All employees are experts and are very professional. Christian worked hard to give me the most beautiful deck possible at an affordable price. Justin has the best design skills I've known. They were mindful of the water source knob even thought I didn't ask them, and I am very grateful for it. I wholeheartedly recommend this company."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Any wood deck provides some ventilation to the area below, as is the nature of that type of deck design. However, areas that experience excessive humidity and associated moisture benefit greatly from a dedicated ventilation system in the form of strip vents. This addition helps the various wood boards contract and expand evenly throughout the years and reduces the chances of twisting, warping, and buckling.

Building codes vary by location, and you should always consult local codes before planning construction. Generally speaking, however, railing requirements stipulate that decks more than 30 inches off the ground need railings for safety purposes. These railings usually need to be at least 36 inches tall, although California and Washington require rails to be 42 inches or taller.

A wood deck needs an annual cleaning, plus refinishing every two to three years, which involves sanding the deck and applying stain or sealer. If you have a painted deck, you’ll need to repaint it every 10 years. You should also fix and repair loose or broken deck boards, nails, and screws. Cleaning your deck regularly and applying sealant protects the wood from the elements, water damage, rot, mildew, and fading from the sun.

Building codes typically require handrails if your porch is 30” or more off the ground. However, it's important to check your local regulations and building codes to make sure, as this can differ depending on your location. When in doubt, check with a local porch handrail pro, who will know the local codes and be able to get permits if any are required.

Eco-friendly materials include sustainably-sourced woods, recycled metals, low-VOC paints, and non-toxic sealants, which reduce environmental impact. Using these in repairs promotes sustainability and can improve indoor air quality and overall building health.
