"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

The best base materials for a ground-level or floating deck are typically gravel and crushed stone (also known as landscaping rocks). These options are inexpensive, provide excellent drainage, prevent weeds, and help minimize moisture buildup, which reduces shifting and rotting. For added stability and to evenly distribute the weight, you can use concrete deck blocks or pavers. While more expensive, concrete blocks and pavers offer a sturdier base than gravel or crushed stone alone.

Before installing any materials under the deck for removing moisture, you should perform some prep work on the ground. Work the dirt under the deck to create a grade away from the home. A grade of at least six inches for every 10 feet works well. Do not leave a gap between the dirt and the home’s foundation where water could pool. Once you or a contractor regrades the dirt under the deck, you then can add materials over the top.

It’s important to make sure the wood on a new deck is properly seasoned. Seasoning a deck is simple: Once you build it (or have a pro do so), just leave it alone so it can acclimate to the environment. If you don’t give the deck proper seasoning time before staining, the stain can lock in any lingering moisture and cause mold, rot, and other moisture issues down the road. Give the wood at least four to eight weeks to season before you stain.

You do not have to dig footers for a deck as long as it meets local code and holds up to weather in your area. If you live somewhere that experiences high winds and earthquakes, you may need to dig for your deck posts. Deck blocks, post anchors with base plates, and helical pile systems are the three no-dig deck post options you can choose from if local code permits.

Some elevated decks require stairs that lead to the ground level per the local fire codes in some municipalities. In other regions, a staircase is an optional feature that can increase accessibility and convenience for homeowners who want ground-level access to their deck. Additionally, a staircase is necessary if your home doesn't have an existing door leading to the deck.
