"Overall great experience hiring Barefoot painting & renovations! His team was hard working, punctual and respectful. Took about three days for the project to be completed from tearing down old deck to a new rebuild. I'm satisfied with the job done."

"Shingle Pros was a first class service! Stanley was on time, did a walk around with me, and got the job done well and quickly. He took the time to tape over all my outlets and key holes to make sure they didnâ t get corroded. He was very personable, showed great attention to detail, and did a perfect job. I will absolutely be a returning customer."

"Very reasonable, respectful team of professionals. My house is gleaming and my deck railings are finally mildew free. They're coming out again in a couple days to stain the deck railings of two 16 x 30 decks for a very reasonable charge. Also, am having them replace the wax ring of a toilet and fix the indented floor. I'm delighted to have found Davon. He'll be my first call for all my house repairs."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Putting lattice under a deck will create a polished look that allows for air ventilation. You can also store items underneath as the lattice provides privacy and protection from the weather. You can also put lattice under a porch to create a polished look in the front of your house.

Yes, adding a composite deck, such as one made from Trex, can significantly increase your home's value. It is a valuable home renovation for recouping costs, with some estimates for return on investment (ROI) ranging between 60% and 70%. More recently, Remodeling's 2024 Cost vs. Value Report suggests a deck addition has an ROI of 82.9%, with an average resale value of nearly $14,600. A new deck makes your yard more functional, enhances the landscape's aesthetic, and can entice prospective buyers. The investment may have a higher return if the deck adds usable square footage to the property.

When installing deck boards, screws are generally a better option than nails. Screws offer superior holding strength over time, keeping the boards securely in place. In contrast, nails are more likely to pop out, which can create a tripping hazard. While you can use either, we recommend using 3-inch galvanized deck screws. To minimize the risk of cracking the wood, it's a good practice to drill small pilot holes before driving the screws into the deck joists.

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.

Building codes for deck railings can vary by location, so it's important to consult your local regulations before construction. Generally, a guardrail is required for any deck that is more than 30 inches above the ground.

For residential properties, the standard minimum height for a deck railing is 36 inches. However, some states and municipalities have stricter requirements; for example, California and Washington mandate railings that are at least 42 inches high. Therefore, a 42-inch railing is not considered too high and may be required in your area or chosen voluntarily for additional safety.

In addition to height requirements, codes also specify other safety features, such as the maximum spacing between balusters to ensure they are close enough to prevent a child from squeezing through.
