"Javier and his team with Eagle really build me a great deck on a difficult foundation. Their communication, quality of construction, and cleanup were very professional and much appreciated. The Work was done in a timely manner. I have worked with quite a few contractors as of late and there are very few who are reliable, responsible and take pride in what they do here in the north Georgia area! Highly recommended!"

"We hired Dereck and his crew for a small deck and steps with handrails, tongue and groove ceiling finishes, concrete patio entrance with steps, under deck skirting closure, small eyebrow roof over a door, corrugated metal siding some walls, and staining to complete our project. Dereck and his guys were easy going, knowledgeable, transparent, communicated well, respectful, and were there to make sure we were happy with the finished job. Looking forward to working with them again in the future! Thanks guys!"

"Reliable Remodel was not only professional and on time, they were worth every penny. When they started the repair job, a bigger issue relating to safety was noticed. We were provided with several options of resolution that were all cost effective. Despite the extra work needed for the safety issue, RR still completed the job on time. Every crew member was courteous and hard working. We will definitely use them again for projects as they come up."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

The best time to paint your deck is when temperatures are neither too cold (below 60 degrees) nor too hot (above 85 degrees). Always paint your deck when there’s no risk of rain. For fast-drying paint like acrylic or latex, ensure your deck can dry for at least four hours. Oil-based paints take longer to dry and may require 48 hours to completely cure.

Deck boards should be spaced no more than three-eighths of an inch apart. This is enough space to allow water and small debris to pass through without collecting on the surface, but not enough to create a tripping hazard. Certain materials, like pressure-treated wood, shrink over time, so they may need less space at installation.

When sourced responsibly, the most sustainable wood decking options are timber trees like redwood, pine, Douglas fir, Nootka cypress, and Western red cedar. These tree species are fast-growing with low carbon emissions. Plus, most timber woods make durable deck materials because of their resistance to rot and decay over time. 

Covering your deck with a breathable tarp can protect it from snow, ice, and cold winter temperatures. This is a good winterizing solution if you don’t plan to use your deck at all during the colder months. However, it might be best to skip the tarp if you’ll still be walking on your deck or using it in a limited capacity.

While the terms deck and porch are often used interchangeably, they are two distinct structures. A porch is a covered structure, usually attached to the front of a home, that offers protection from the elements. In contrast, a deck is an open, uncovered platform, often attached to the back or side of a home. Because porches have a roof, they typically require less maintenance than decks, but both features need regular cleaning and repairs to stay in good condition.
