"He was cleaning up on his last job for the day before heading home. Came straight over; saw what I wanted and went right to work on it. Because of the framing it took a little forethought, but the job was performed to our satisfaction. He is a true handyman and we would highly recommend him."

"Mark personally was very attentive to detail, he made sure the job was completed in a timely manner. Our house was kinda dirty to begin with, but upon completion of the job, his crew went above and beyond to clean up not only their mess but sweep the place clean. It was perfect. Couldnâ t ask for better service. We will definitely use their services again for exterior painting next year. Thank you Mark"

"I called back in June, I think, and got scheduled for mid-August. Before the scheduled date Brendan drove by to see our house. He said the driveway did not need to be done, the roof would be $300 and the lanai $75. He called to confirm the date and time he would arrive. Got here around 10 am, worked for 6 and 1/2 hours. He works very methodically, and did a great job. He is very professional, did more than we asked for, and pointed out a few things that need maintenance. Definitely will use him again."

"Marco and his crew are amazing. It was a pleasure to have them installing the pavers to our pool deck. The crew is extremely talented and very particular about the quality of their finished job. We had pavers installed 11 years ago by a different company and after watching this crew we realize what a terrible job the first crew did. There is no comparison in the quality of work and their dedication to perfection that Penedo Pavers will do at your house. My husband did a lot of comparison shopping with several companies both big and small. Penedo Pavers was at least $2,000 lower on the bid and still installed the same quality pavers as the other companies. We now have a beautiful paved patio for entertaining company. Oh yes if you decide to have Penedo Pavers complete your job make sure they finish the job with the wet look sealer. Totally a marvelous finish. Thanks Marco for your fantastic crew and my gorgeous new pool deck!"

"Wonderful! There was a build up of green mold and moss on screens. The pool deck had years of ground in dirt. All was cleaned to perfection leaving even the deck ready to repaint. Very reasonably priced and very professional."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

In general, you need a footing at each corner of your deck, and within 8 feet of each other. So, how many you need depends on the size and shape of your deck, plus any local building codes. It also depends on factors like the load capacity of your soil and the weight of your deck. You can find a footing calculator online or contact a pro for support.

There are several methods for attaching stair stringers to a deck. The best way is to bolt the stringers to the deck joists using three carriage bolts in a triangular pattern. This method offers the sturdiest fit for stairs that won’t budge. Alternatively, attach the stringers to the deck rims using lag bolts or to the posts using adjustable slope hangers.

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.

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. 

The best base materials for a ground-level or floating deck are typically gravel and crushed stone (also known as landscaping rocks). These options are inexpensive, provide excellent drainage, prevent weeds, and help minimize moisture buildup, which reduces shifting and rotting. For added stability and to evenly distribute the weight, you can use concrete deck blocks or pavers. While more expensive, concrete blocks and pavers offer a sturdier base than gravel or crushed stone alone.
