"WOW! John, Melinda and Ryan did one h—l of a job on my place. We’re not talking just driveway, we are talking house, roof, front yard wooden deck, back yard wooden pool deck, patio pavers (side and back yard), seawall, retention wall and even our teak furniture!!!! They worked on my “stuff” for 2 days, even in the rain. John had me inspect what they had completed before moving onto the next pressure washing endeavor to ensure I was fully satisfied each step of the way. When everything was completed it all looked new again and best of all it was affordable! The wife and I couldn’t be more pleased. Fact is, we have already schedule Pressure Washing Orlando again for next year! THANKS!!!!"

"I am the Estate Manager of a 20,000 sq ft home that as one can imagine has to be run like a commercial property. Home Sweet Home is always my first call when anything goes wrong. If it is electric, plumbing, wood or even on our grounds of 8 acres. Jarmine is always quickly to respond within hours for an emergency situation. I would say that he is called upon every few months to repair, replace or improve. Never an issue, never a delay always a solution I feel should be their logo for he never leaves until it is right. Highly recommend Home Sweet Home"

"How lucky l am to choose Marcello to build my shed! He was very conscientious and called the manufacturer for a question about the anchors. He stopped by Lowe’s to buy the right ones that he needed. He worked very hard with a partner for 5 hours. He went above and beyond to exceed my expectations. Top quality guys and I definitely will be hiring them again."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Before installing a deck, you must build a base for the deck to rest upon, often made of compacted soil or gravel. While gravel is an optional material, it helps with drainage. Some contractors also recommend installing a weed control membrane, which helps provide a solid foundation for the frame. In the case of an elevated deck, a pro will often lay down a concrete slab as a foundation. 

Building codes for deck railings can vary by location, so it's important to consult your local regulations before construction. Generally, a guardrail is required for any deck that is more than 30 inches above the ground.

For residential properties, the standard minimum height for a deck railing is 36 inches. However, some states and municipalities have stricter requirements; for example, California and Washington mandate railings that are at least 42 inches high. Therefore, a 42-inch railing is not considered too high and may be required in your area or chosen voluntarily for additional safety.

In addition to height requirements, codes also specify other safety features, such as the maximum spacing between balusters to ensure they are close enough to prevent a child from squeezing through.

Pressure-treated decks last 15 to 20 years on average, but with proper maintenance, you could get 40 to 50 years of value from yours. Reseal your deck every one to two years, and replace old or rotted wood as soon as possible to avoid structural damage. Where you live plays a role in the lifespan of your deck. Intense sunlight, rainfall, wind, and hail can reduce the deck’s lifespan.

Yes, an elevated deck can increase a home's resale value. Homeowners can expect a 65% return on investment from the cost of a second-story deck installation. For example, if you spend $5,000 to install a second-story deck, that deck will add $3,250 to the value of your home.

How long it takes to install composite decking depends on the size of the decking material, the skills of the person installing the deck, the number of people helping, and how much prep work needs to be done before you can begin. Generally speaking, it takes anywhere from a few days to several weeks to build a composite deck.
