"I tried calling a number of plumbers on Friday night for work to be done first thing Monday morning. They were all just answering services. Angiâ  s List estimated $420. One of the others wanted $89 just to come to the house. It was 10:00 at night and Gabe answered the phone. He asked me a few questions and gave me a probable diagnosis right over the phone. He came to the house first thing Monday morning no charge. The job turned out to be bigger than either of us expected. He showed me everything that was wrong. He and his crew fixed it beautifully. They were very respectful of my home and cleaned up after themselves. (They even cleaned up after the handyman who was there the day before!) It only ended up costing $150 but it was well worth it. Way better than Angiâ  s estimate of $420. I hope I donâ  t need a plumber ever again but if I do, Iâ  m calling Gabeâ  s Construction and Restoration. Thanks Gabe!"

Deck Cleaning questions, answered by experts

In many areas, a floating deck that isn’t connected to your home and stays under 200 square feet and below 30 inches in height may not need a permit. These freestanding structures are often considered low-risk, which can simplify the building process. However, building codes vary greatly based on location. Before investing in any home improvement project, check with your local permitting office for deck-building guidelines.

The best way to sand a deck is by cleaning it, sanding the boards and stairs with 60- or 80-grit sandpaper, and sanding the railings and posts with 80-grit sandpaper. You should sand in the direction of the wood grain to avoid damaging the timber. When sanding your deck, use medium pressure and aim for an even sand. Pressing too hard with a sander can damage decks, as most are softwoods.

It is definitely worth sanding a deck to ensure the wood absorbs new stain. Sanding a deck removes the outer layers of aging wood, allowing the stain to penetrate. It also gives a fresh look to the entire surface as part of the deck refinishing process. Without sanding, your stain or sealant is less likely to absorb into the wood. While sanding a deck is a time-intensive project, the rewards are noticeable and long-lasting.

Whether you need a permit depends on the deck design and local regulations. Most areas mandate a building permit if the deck is over a specific height or if it's attached to a pre-existing structure. Shorter, freestanding decks may not require a permit, but you should check with local zoning ordinances and your homeowners association for specifics.

As with patios, there are many types of deck choices to choose from to add personalization to your home. Some common deck options include:

  • Attached decks are anchored to the home and include simple ground-level options or multi-level structures with stairways and separate landings. 

  • Detached island decks are not attached to the home; they’re a freestanding structure in the yard. 

  • Wraparound decks connect the back of the house with at least one other side and often are built with railings for safety. 

  • Multi-level decks connect your deck through varying levels of elevation, featuring landings that are attached to stairs.
