Q: Will decking rot under artificial grass?

• <div><p>No, your deck will not rot under artificial grass as long as it is installed properly. When installed correctly, the artificial grass features a drainage system that prevents rotting. Simply laying artificial grass on top of the decking without proper installation will not lead to an effective drainage system that prevents rotting.</p></div>

Q: Is it worth sanding a deck?

• <div><p>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 <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-refinish-deck.htm">deck refinishing process</a>. 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.</p></div>

Q: Does the underside of a deck need to breathe?

• <div><p>Any wood deck provides some ventilation to the area below, as is the nature of that type of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-often-should-i-inspect-my-deck.htm">deck design</a>. However, areas that experience excessive humidity and associated moisture benefit greatly from a dedicated ventilation system in the form of strip vents. This addition helps the various wood boards contract and expand evenly throughout the years and reduces the chances of twisting, warping, and buckling.</p></div>

Q: Can you build a deck when the ground is frozen?

• <div><p>Yes, and in some cases, frozen ground may improve the digging process for footings due to sturdier conditions. It&rsquo;s easier than working in muddy conditions, which are more common in the spring. Contractors may use machinery that makes this step a breeze, so harder ground shouldn&rsquo;t affect the building process. </p></div>

Q: What are the different types of decks?

• <div><p>As with patios, there are many types of deck choices to choose from to add personalization to your home. Some common deck options include:</p><ul><li><p><b>Attached decks </b>are anchored to the home and include simple ground-level options or multi-level structures with stairways and separate landings. </p></li><li><p><b>Detached island decks </b>are not attached to the home; they&rsquo;re a freestanding structure in the yard. </p></li><li><p><b>Wraparound decks </b>connect the back of the house with at least one other side and often are built with railings for safety. </p></li><li><p><b>Multi-level decks </b>connect your deck through varying levels of elevation, featuring landings that are attached to stairs.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

I hired this company to stain my deck. It was a big project. They did a top notch job and got in done just in time for our family gatherings. They worked really well with our schedule and I loved that they moved all my patio furniture back onto the deck upon completion. It looks so good!!!

Justin was very honest about how I should go about fixing my mold problem. It s hard to find honest people to do work needed. Women, especially, have it worse because some men think we are easy targets when it comes to repair work and buying cars. So tired of being taken advantage of as I am old...

"Element Elite Construction LLC James I recently moved to Pocatello from Logan Utah, which also included some home repairs that would be needed on the home purchase I made. After hiring two different handy men, which I won't go into details, but it was not a good experience, financial, or emotionally; I was taken advantage of, but the flip side one of my coworkers at my new job heard of the trouble I was having and referred me to the people that worked on her mom's place and did an exceptional job. I went online to read some reviews as I already was out money and the work still needed to be fixed and finished. Great reviews this company had, so I took a chance. I have to say it has been a wonderful experience with James and his crew Tim and Kevin. These guys really know what they're doing and they go above and beyond for you. I was only hoping to not be taken advantage of again, but received so much more from James. Even before he started my job, I had a different issue arise that need"
