"I have used Ericks Painting exclusively for the last 5 years because Erick is dependable and does great work. We started with replacing wood siding with Hardy plank and painting the exterior of my home. Erick did such a wonderful job that he and his wife have completed numerous other projects in my home from deck repair, pressure washing and staining to wallpaper removal, interior painting and even removing an exterior door and replacing with siding and drywall. Erick and his wife are skilled professionals who use quality products. I will continue to refer Ericks Painting to family, friends and neighbors and you will too!"

"Chris remodeled our bathroom last year, and it’s held up great. The workmanship was solid, everything was finished professionally, and we haven’t had any issues since the job was completed. He communicated well throughout the project, showed up when he said he would, and paid attention to the details. It’s been over a year now, and we’re still really happy with the results. I’d definitely recommend Chris to anyone looking for a reliable contractor for a bathroom remodel."

"Bob was on time and on budget. He pressure washed and stained my large deck in 2.5 days. Even if you just need to have your deck cleaned Iâ d recommend Bob as mine looked like new wood afterwards. Very pleased with the final results."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

That depends on the condition of your deck. An older deck that looks drab, worn, or has multiple damaged boards might be worth replacing before selling. However, if your deck is in good condition, you can simply clean, repaint, or stain it.

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. 

Composite decking requires a solid foundation, substructure, or subframe to ensure stability. This base is typically composed of posts, beams, joists, and footings. The frame's joists can be built from various materials like composite, plastic, timber, or metal, as long as the base can support the deck's weight without shifting. A professional deck builder might recommend installing the frame on a solid concrete base for added durability. The final design and materials for the substructure will depend on your budget, the type of deck, and environmental conditions.

Both deck footings and deck posts help prop up your deck. However, footings are the bottommost parts of a deck that touch the ground. They’re usually made of concrete. Posts are pieces of wood that attach to the top of the footings with brackets. They run upwards and connect to the underside of your deck to support its weight.

Generally, a patio is more accessible than a standard deck because patios are constructed at ground level. However, decks can be made accessible by adding a wheelchair-accessible ramp, a vertical lift, or a stair lift along the entry. An ADA-compliant deck ramp costs about $3,000 on average. The additional investment will provide a much friendlier experience for your guests with movement impairments.
