"In four days my old unstable deck was transformed into a beautiful new deck I cannot stop admiring. Julio and his team were top notch, friendly, fast working and the quality of their skills will be admired for years to come. I have many repairs needed for my home and you can bet I will be calling on Julio again and again. My family and I thank you so very much for giving us back our deck. Choose this company, you won't be disappointed. I am so happy to have contracted with Rio Bravo Construction. Thanks again Julio, God Bless you and your workers."

"This professional did a wonderful job. I wanted my deck thoroughly repaired and provided specific instructions, and everything was followed to the letter. He arrived on time, worked extremely hard, and paid attention to every detail. In fact, He worked harder than I have ever seen anyone work in my home. She stayed until everything that needed attention was taken care of. I truly appreciate the effort and professionalism. The work was excellent, and my house looks great. I highly recommend her services."

"I had Bill come out and look at my deck which was around 25 years old. Parts of the deck were rotten to the point that I had almost fallen through a rotten area. Bill took his time and described what he would do, giving me a choice of composit decking or pressure treated material. I had his detailed estimate the same day and we agreed that he would do the work He and his crew arrived at the agreed upon time and had the deck stripped down just after noon. They cleaned up all the boards that they removed and showed me any changed that they would recommend. They started the rebuild that afternoon. The work was finished in the two day period that we had agreed upon. All the building materials and debris were removed and there was no damage to my house or surrounding landscape. I would not hesitate to recomend Bill and his "Building For More" company"

Deck Cleaning questions, 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.

The proper and most comfortable height for a deck stair riser, also called a step, is between four and seven inches. A height of seven inches is often considered ideal for a strain-free step that minimizes the risk of trips and falls. While it is possible to have risers up to 12 inches, this height can be challenging for children, pets, or individuals with mobility issues. For optimal safety and comfort, pair a seven-inch riser with a tread depth (or run) of at least 10 to 12 inches. Always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements that differ from these general recommendations.

How long it takes to install composite decking depends on the size of the decking material, the skills of the person installing the deck, the number of people helping, and how much prep work needs to be done before you can begin. Generally speaking, it takes anywhere from a few days to several weeks to build a composite deck.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

It is possible to build your own deck, but it’s typically better to leave the work to a decking professional. Decks can be exceptionally complicated, especially if you want a wrap-around or second-story deck, and you don’t want to risk making an expensive or dangerous mistake. It’s usually better to hire a decking pro who can pull permits and build a structurally sound deck that will last for decades and provide the maximum return on investment.
