"Doug came out and surveyed job and gave us a fair price and suggestions on stain type, Behr Deck Over, to be used afterwards. After checking around we decided to go with his business on the stripping. His crew arrived on time and spent the day getting the deck pressure washed and stripped for staining. The crew did a good job. I ended up staining myself to save a little money. I would these guys again."

"This company is the best, hands down!!! I’ve done business with them on multiple occasions and will continue to do so. They bring their word to action. Honest, good, caring people, very professional and actually know what they are doing. I’ve tried other companies before but they never exceeded my expectations like One-stop does. They just do things “different” and I recommend the experience to everyone. You won’t regret it."

"Project was to demolish 2 decks (front and back). Back deck was huge! And we added a screened-in porch to back deck. From start to finish AGC was on time, fast, and efficient. Project was scheduled to last 4 weeks (I told you...huge deck). Eric (Puig) and his crew finished in 3 weeks. Yet they did not skimp on quality. EVERYTHING was done just as I wanted and I couldn't be happier with the results. I'm retired so I had time to constantly look over Eric's shoulder. Every time I suggested something or changed something, Eric took it in stride and GOT IT DONE... NO PROBLEM. The most pleasing experience I have ever had with anyone doing any maintenance or construction at my house. Thanks Eric."

"The Decka Team are just all around professional and great people. My Husband and I had a retractable awning installed on our patio and storage racks installed in our garage. Everything looks great and was completed in 2 days. We will definitely call on the Decka team for our future projects."

We placed new red oak stair treads over existing builder grade stair treads.  The new treads are concaved (cut out)  on the back to fit over existing treads without raising the height of step.  They can be refinished several times, or painted. Low cost way to enhance your stairway.
Screen was attached at the soffit point of patio roof.  It rolled down perfectly in front of the patio railing.

Such a pretty and relaxed looking patio.  This awning made it complete.

"Very well. The slight dip in the kitchen looks better and the doors trued up. The slight sag still in the kitchen floor is because of the sub floor plywood which I didn't want to get in to. They leveled the joist by shimming the tops of several cinder block posts and installing a pair permanent of steel posts under a section of joist the previous owner had cut in two."

"This was alright. The carpet was pretty bad so he couldn’t guarantee it could be cleaned by doing a normal cleaning so he had to get the brush out and do a scrub on it. The steam cleaner wouldn’t have cleaned it properly. He did a fine job on it and it the carpet cleaning. I wouldn’t use him again because he is far out of town."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Unless you’re using a 2-in-1 formula or painting over an existing coat of paint, it pays to apply a coat of primer ahead of your new paint. Decks see a lot of footfall and exposure to extreme and sudden temperature changes and moisture levels. The primer promotes better paint adhesion, moisture repellency, and a smoother finish, which means you’ll often need fewer coats of paint. 

Ideally, a gate should be able to swing both in and out. However, if it can only open in one direction, it is generally best for it to swing inward. This is often the safest option, especially for deck gates near steps, as you'll want the gate to swing away from the stairs. An inward swing also prevents the gate from opening into a public space, like a sidewalk, and can be more convenient when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

There are exceptions, however. The layout of your property may require a different approach. For example, if your property is on a slope, the gate may not be able to swing inward. You should also ensure the gate can open fully without colliding with any objects or blocking access to other areas. For a backyard garden gate where public access isn't a concern, the direction it swings is largely a matter of personal preference. Finally, always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements for which way a gate must swing.

Yes, it is generally safe to have a fire pit on a deck, but you must adhere to building codes and take several safety precautions. For both built-in and freestanding models, you must use a heat-resistant barrier, such as a fire pit pad or heat shield, between the pit and the deck. Additionally, consider the weight of the fire pit and ensure your deck can structurally support it, reinforcing it if necessary. The fire pit must also be positioned a safe distance from your house, particularly from materials like vinyl siding, to prevent heat damage.

You typically don’t need a railing and handrails on a deck that’s less than 30 inches from the ground. However, consider adding them regardless. Railings provide additional safety for you and your guests who use your deck—plus, railings give the deck a more finished look than it would have without them.

Typically, most residential wooden decks are designed to support approximately 40 pounds per square foot, including the deck’s weight and any items placed on it. While this is fine for typical use, it is usually not enough to hold the weight of a hot tub filled with water and people. To safely support a hot tub, your wood deck will likely require reinforcement. Therefore, it’s best to have a contractor or a structural engineer assess it before hot tub installation.
