"Contractor was on time for the quote. This was a difficult job involving the demolition of a dock that was under water during part of the day, the retro-fitting of deck supports partially under water, the repair of a boat lift involving dis-assembly and aluminum welding, and then reassembly, building a new deck and painting. Vincent and his crew took a week longer than planned, partially due to the Thanksgiving holiday. They also did more than originally agreed due to issues they found during the work. I would highly recommend them for any job."

"Sandy replaced my 2 bathroom vanity counter tops including sink, faucets, backsplash. I was really pleased with his quality of work performed, attention to detail and his professionalism. Even though this was a somewhat "small" rehab project, I will use him for any and all future projects I have. I have found it very frustrating trying to find a dependable and trustworthy company because many of them you talk to on the they either don't return phone calls, or don't respond to first message about getting a rate quote at all. Thank you Sandy for your great service!! I will happily refer and recommend you to any friends or family that need your services."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

What goes under your floating deck depends on your preferences. Some homeowners put landscaping fabric underneath their decks to prevent weeds from popping up through the boards. Others choose to build a floating deck over grass or gravel. However, it’s best not to set your deck directly on the ground. Instead, set your deck on blocks to keep it elevated enough to prevent moisture from rotting the wood.

Most building codes require that spindles or balusters on deck and stair railings be spaced no more than four inches apart. This safety standard, often called the '4-inch sphere rule,' is designed to prevent small children or pets from slipping through the railing. A good way to visualize this is that a 4-inch sphere should not be able to pass between two spindles. For the same safety reason, the space between the bottom rail and the deck floor should also be no more than four inches. As a general guideline, professionals often install three balusters per foot of railing. However, since specific requirements can vary by location, it is crucial to check your local building codes to ensure compliance before starting your project.

Although composite decking is extremely durable, it’s also susceptible to extreme heat. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause fading, warping, and cracking. Composite also retains heat more than wood, which makes it dangerous to walk on in the summer. You can help prevent heat damage by only building with composite in shaded areas or using rugs to cover the hottest spots.

There are more pros than cons when staining a deck. Deck stain is more affordable than paint, it protects the wood and allows the natural textures to shine through, and it can revive the appearance of your home. However, deck stain also requires prep work (sometimes days or more), carries more upkeep than a painted deck, and can fade over time if not cared for. 

Trex states that its Trex decking is an eco-friendly composite material made of 95% recycled or reclaimed materials (including plastic and wood), making it a sustainable brand of choice. According to the company, Trex is one of the largest plastic bag recyclers in the U.S., with each 500-square-foot Trex deck containing about 140,000 recycled plastic bags.
