"James and his crew did a great job at my Mom's home in Sebring. They pressure cleaned the pool deck and then sealed and painted it. They informed me everyday what they would be doing, were very professional, and the deck looks like new. I would highly recommend them."

"This is the third time Carl has worked for us. He did roof repair and built an outside deck before. This time we were renovating our kitchen. Carl spent 4 days removing wood paneling, painting, plumbing and even made several trips to Home Depot to pick up needed materials. Carl is an excellent worker. He is honest, reliable, conscientious and a pleasure to work with. Obviously, we highly recommend him and would definitely use him for any future home renovations or repairs.

"I was so impressed with the efficient, professional and pleasant manner of this company. It was the best pressure washing job I've ever had. Job included screened pool cage and deck, outside of house, hurricane shutters, 3 car garage driveway and all sidewalks (not just my property sidewalks but the ones on the border of my property, which I'm responsible for keeping clean. I liked that he used a blower first to get rid of the debris and cobwebs. Good price for all that was done."

"We got lucky with these guys. They were professional, knowledgeable, courteous, and honest.. The work entailed removing kitchen cabinets and walls due to water damage that turned into mold. My whole family was sick. After the remediation, they sanitized the whole house, furnishings, and the AC units. Thank you Angle List for sending me these guys!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

No, you don’t need a permit to repair and replace a few boards on an existing deck. However, if you’re making structural changes to the deck or tearing down the old one and building a new one, you will likely need a permit. Check with your local municipality for the regulations and rules in your area, or ask a local contractor who builds decks for advice.

Spindles on a deck may also be called balusters or pickets. While not as important to the structural support of the deck as the rail posts, they play a critical role in ensuring the deck is safe to use by closing in large gaps in the railing. For this reason, balusters must be no more than 4 inches away from one another.

Yes, you can draw your own deck plans in many cases. However, you must know your local building codes and be familiar with carpentry principles. Even then, it's always best to run your plans by a professional contractor with experience building decks, whether you choose to DIY some of the build or not.

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.

Pavers are a great decking option for pools. They’re customizable, come in a variety of shapes, sizes, colors, textures, materials, and price points, and they’re slip-resistant. Concrete pool decks, on the other hand, are harder to repair and replace if damaged and aren’t as slip-resistant as most paver materials. However, not all pavers are equal in terms of durability, maintenance, and performance. Pavers also have their own cons that may encourage homeowners to opt for stamped concrete instead, such as higher upfront costs.
