"Great Finishes did a great job. They showed up on time and did what they said they would do, and more. And they followed up a few days later to do some minor touch up work. Our floor had grown a bit tired and dingy over the years as kids and grandkids tracked in dirt, but Wes and his experienced crew brought it back to life. And they were also helpful with advice on how to keep the floor looking great going forward. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Great Finishes. Old fashioned customer service and professionalism are not dead. I recommend them highly."

"We just had our pool deck and backyard completely redone by Anthony. Anthony and his crew are truly artistic in their approach to paver restoration. They took our 23 year old pavers and made them look brand new. Though this is a very labor intensive project, Jack, Craig, and Anthony took their time and never missed a detail. The preparation was remarkable. Everything in our yard was protected, the pool, fence, and landscaping was never in danger of being touched. After the work was done they left our yard in immaculate condition. When the project was completed, our friends were at our house and thought we had totally replaced our pavers with new, artistic pavers. I highly recommend Colorback Paver Pros."

"Mike Nucci and his "crew" are the consummate professionals. They had a question about the paint color selection; questioned me; helped pick the right color and even went to get the right one. When another contractor (not recommended by Home Advisor) "goofed up" Mike's work, Mike fixed it. He had several situations like this but my best interest was always his concern. He and crew were courteous, diligent, reliable. If this is what Home Advisor provides the public, I will never start a project without their advice. Mike is the best. He left the work area spotless. The entire project was completed in May. "Atta Boy" Mike and Home Advisor."

Deck Maintenance FAQs, answered by experts

Most building codes require that railing spindles (also known as balusters) on decks or stairs be spaced no more than four inches apart. This safety standard is often called the '4-inch sphere rule,' which means a sphere with a 4-inch diameter should not be able to pass through the opening between balusters. This rule is in place to prevent small children and pets from slipping through the railing. For the same reason, the space between the bottom rail and the deck or floor surface 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 essential to check your local building codes to ensure compliance before starting your project.

In most cases, there should be a small gap between the house and the deck, usually no more than ½ to ¾ of an inch. This space allows water and moisture to flow through instead of pooling against the side of your house. It also lets flashing protect your siding from runoff, which is one of the most common issues with decks.

While you can use various materials like sand or even just soil, gravel is widely considered the best option to put under a deck. It provides excellent drainage and is resistant to water, fire, and pests. Gravel also helps anchor the soil to prevent erosion during heavy rain and acts as a built-in weed blocker, reducing regular upkeep. Furthermore, it is simple to spread, available in various textures and tones, and adds a polished look that complements any deck design.

The best way to sand a deck is by cleaning it, sanding the boards and stairs with 60- or 80-grit sandpaper, and sanding the railings and posts with 80-grit sandpaper. You should sand in the direction of the wood grain to avoid damaging the timber. When sanding your deck, use medium pressure and aim for an even sand. Pressing too hard with a sander can damage decks, as most are softwoods.

Footings for ground-level decks need to be at least 12 inches deep, and some areas require them to be even deeper. A standard range for deck footings is anywhere from 12 to 48 inches. The minimum footing depth is determined by an area’s frost line and soil conditions. If you’re unsure how deep to install deck footings, check local building codes to find the minimum footing depth in your area.
