"I highly recommend Pete Jennings! He painted and sealed my pool deck, and the results are incredible—it looks brand new. Pete was professional, efficient, and paid close attention to every detail throughout the entire process. Not only did he do outstanding work, but his pricing was also very reasonable. It’s hard to find someone who combines quality craftsmanship, reliability, and fair pricing, and Pete exceeded my expectations in every way. If you’re looking for someone reliable who takes pride in their work and delivers outstanding results, Pete is the person to call. I couldn’t be happier with how my pool deck turned out!"

"I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Mastercraft Maintenance And Construction Services. As a local REALTOR, I work with a lot of contractors and I wish they could all be like Brad! From start to finish Brad has been upfront, honest, and forthright about what this project needed and why. He has kept the budget in mind and recommended adding things that would add value or that 100% make sense, and when surprises have come up, (because they always do) his knowledge and calm demeanor have been refreshing and helped us make the right decision on how to handle it in the best, most cost efficient way. He keeps me informed on all stages of our project with pictures, phone calls, and texts. He and his crew has been respectful of the house, neighbors, and property. We are very happy with the quality of his workmanship and he is very easy to work with. I would recommend him 1000x's to anyone and look forward to working with him again in the future! Holly Hunter"

"Steve and his crew were amazing. They rebuilt our dock and roof better than anyone else. We had our dock rebuilt 7 yrs ago the company did not put the piling into the ground and they rotted away so the roof and platform were not supported. Our walkway was unlevel and multiple posts needed to be replaced. Steve and his team plus Cole rebuilt everything perfectly. His price was so reasonable. He showed up on time and not only did what he said he would do. He and his team went above and beyond. I can’t recommend him more highly. If you are looking for perfection and honesty he is your man. Thank you Steve and DockMD."

"Marku Construction is FANTASTIC! A few years ago we converted our 3 bedroom house into a 2 bedroom. But now, when we want to sell, the realtor convinced us to switch it back. I called Marku Construction and Ari came out the same morning to look at the job. Our timeline was short but he was able to fit us in within a few days. The job entailed removing french doors, rebuilding the wall to split the large room in half, framing/installing two bedroom doors, baseboards, & molding, and painting everything to match! Ari and his crew did an excellent job and for a great price. They were in and out in 2 days and left the job spotless. They even left the place super clean when they were going to be back in the morning. I would recommend Marku Construction for any job they took on. Attention to detail, professionalism, and great communication are just a few of the reasons why. And our realtor is thrilled to have his contact information as well!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

In many areas, a floating deck that isn’t connected to your home and stays under 200 square feet and below 30 inches in height may not need a permit. These freestanding structures are often considered low-risk, which can simplify the building process. However, building codes vary greatly based on location. Before investing in any home improvement project, check with your local permitting office for deck-building guidelines.

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. 

Building a deck without a permit could lead to fines for both the homeowner and the contractor. The exact penalties will depend on your state and municipal building laws. You might also be required to remove the deck and apply for a permit before you can build another. While it might be tempting to skip the permit to save a few bucks, it’ll cost you much more if you’re caught.

When installing deck boards, screws are generally a better option than nails. Screws offer superior holding strength over time, keeping the boards securely in place. In contrast, nails are more likely to pop out, which can create a tripping hazard. While you can use either, we recommend using 3-inch galvanized deck screws. To minimize the risk of cracking the wood, it's a good practice to drill small pilot holes before driving the screws into the deck joists.

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.
