"Josh did an amazing job with my new deck project. The demolition and disposal of the old deck and construction of the new deck was top notch. He is very reliable, works quickly, and communicates well."

"I really liked him.  He did a little bit of electrical work but was more of a handyman. I wanted him to look at the lights on my deck and he kind of messed around with it for a few minutes and he got it working.  He was very good.  He charged by the hour.  Whatever you wanted done he basically just charged by the hour."

"Recommend. Had a deck built. Very quick and efficient. Awesome customer service. Need to work on better clean-up. A year later, I am still finding unused screws by the deck area. And also screws were screwed in crooked in some areas making the wood chip."

"I have been so blessed to have found Jose and have DLR Construction help me renovate my family farmstead. They did demolition, built a new garage,built a beautiful greenhouse, renovated a crib and a shop building and even cut down a tree for me! I am having him do a foundation repair and improvements on our farmhouse that is over 100 years. I never could have accomplished the transformation of my family farm without Jose. He will do anything!"

Deck Repair questions, answered by experts

What goes under your floating deck depends on your preferences. Some homeowners put landscaping fabric underneath their decks to prevent weeds from popping up through the boards. Others choose to build a floating deck over grass or gravel. However, it’s best not to set your deck directly on the ground. Instead, set your deck on blocks to keep it elevated enough to prevent moisture from rotting the wood.

No, termites do not eat Trex or any other composite decking brand. Termites eat cellulose, of which composite decking like Trex contains very little compared to natural wood. This feature can help justify the higher Trex decking costs if you live in an area with abundant termites.

There are several methods for attaching stair stringers to a deck. The best way is to bolt the stringers to the deck joists using three carriage bolts in a triangular pattern. This method offers the sturdiest fit for stairs that won’t budge. Alternatively, attach the stringers to the deck rims using lag bolts or to the posts using adjustable slope hangers.

To flatten a cupped deck board, start by ensuring it’s dry. Then, try flipping the board over so the cupped side faces down and reattach it. If that’s not possible, you can use screws to pull it tighter to the joists or plane the edges slightly to reduce the cup. It’s best to replace severely cupped boards.

Yes, you can build a deck around a fire pit, as long as it is safely enclosed, meets code requirements, and is at least 15 feet away from your home. You’ll want to ensure you have a heat-resistant barrier between the fire pit and your deck to prevent any structural damage and fires. A galvanized ring surrounded by pavers, brick, or stone makes for a beautiful, safe, and sturdy design.
