"It went extremely well. The work involved extensive spackling due to headboards having been mounted on the walls. That work was expertly done. The interior walls look wonderful and the trim and cornice boards were beautifully done as well. In addition, the place was left in immaculate condition. The cost was very reasonable, competitive, and I feel that every penny was well-spent. I will certainly hire Roxine and her crew again and, without hesitation, recommend her to my friends."

"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."

"I needed a deck built for my pool in time for summer. Mr.Kellom was recommended to me by a friend who also had their deck done by him and his team. He was very kind and got everything done in a timely manner. Reasonable pricing as well, I strongly recommend him."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

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.

Cutting the boards directly is one of the fastest ways to remove deck boards with hidden fasteners. Mark two parallel lines that are one-third of the total measurement on both ends and cut out the centerpiece. Then, remove the end of the board that doesn’t have a fastener. Finally, pry open the fastened side and pull it up to pop out the screw or access the fastener. This also allows you to salvage portions of boards for other projects.

You can nail or screw composite decking, but 3-inch decking screws are the better fastener choice. Unlike nails, decking screws won’t back out of the composite material over time. There’s also little danger of splitting composite material when driving screws, so you don’t need to pre-drill holes unless otherwise recommended by your decking manufacturer.

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.

You can add a roof to most decks, but you need to have it inspected first. If your deck didn’t come with a roof initially, it may not be able to handle the weight without some structural changes. You can add additional supports to your existing deck to safely add a roof, and tying your deck’s roof to an exterior wall can help add some structural stability, but remember these aren’t DIY projects and need to be left to a pro.
