"Great experience with this company from start to finish. They were lower in price to a competitor and the salesperson was very knowlegable and professional in his approach. 3M products are what they use, high quality brand. Installation was scheduled very quickly and the job was done in a few hours with no fuss! Great company and I will recommend Total Shield Protection to my neighbors and friends!"

"I reached out and Scott responded within minutes. He came out the same day to provide an estimate and explain what needed to be done to fix my fence. From the moment we spoke he was not only knowledgeable but very detailed and meticulous, he clearly exceeded my expectations!. I can't describe what a reassuring feeling it is to have someone as kind and caring as Scott who takes so much pride in his work as well as his clients. You just dont' find that caliber of people who not only do their job but also reassures you by eliminating the burden and uncertainty that comes with repairs simply by knowing you are working with a professional who's assistance has been invaluable. "My gratitude goes beyond words—thank you for all your efforts Scott". Carol"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Homeowners should build their floating decks at least 18 inches off the ground. Having it at this height will allow for better airflow underneath and help prevent moisture-related problems like warping or rot. That being said, local guidelines for deck heights may vary depending on where you live.

Applying too much sealer to a deck might seem like extra protection, but it can cause more harm than good. Wood is a porous material with a limited capacity to absorb liquids. When you go overboard with sealer, the excess can't soak in and instead forms a film on the surface. This leftover layer is prone to peeling, cracking, and trapping moisture, ultimately defeating the purpose of sealing in the first place. 

You can build an outdoor kitchen on a deck, but you should choose composite decking since it's more heat-resistant. Metal deck materials like steel and aluminum are also good choices because they're less flammable than wood. You should also consider the weight of the kitchen—make sure your deck can support it and any appliances you plan to use. You should consult a structural engineer to confirm exactly how much weight your deck can safely support when building an outdoor kitchen. 

Rot loves moisture, so deck rot typically impacts the parts of a board that stay wet. This includes the underside of boards, in addition to support posts and joists. However, any part of a board can rot, given the right conditions. 

A quality, well-maintained PVC decking can last 30 to 50 years. It’s known for being one of the most durable types of decking materials, with composite decking having a 25- to 30-year average lifespan and some softwood deckings only lasting 10 to 15 years. Luxury hardwood decks like Ipe may last longer than PVC decking, but they can cost more and require more maintenance.
