"I have a deck that I neglected to maintain properly. I knew it needed repair, and I was putting it off and putting it off for more time than I'd like to admit to people who know me. I hooked up with Deck Fence and House through HomeAdvisor, as they were local and well-reviewed. They were able to come to my house the next day to review the job: repair of rotting steps and supports, power washing, and staining. We agreed on a fair price and they started work the next day. The job was probably more than Deck Fence and House initially envisioned, as the rot was severe in places, and involved a significant amount of cutting and fitting of new supports, baseboards, and steps. As a previous reviewer wrote, they did good work, took the time to get it right, and kept the original price. The crew was able to remove the damage and power wash and stain in about two days, in 90+ degree heat. Although I didn't expect it (and, quite frankly, forgot to ask for), they hauled the old rotted wood away, saving me the trouble of disposing it myself. I highly recommend Deck Fence and House. The crew was friendly and personable, they took precautions to protect my house and vegetation from any stray stain applied, they showed up on time, did the work as requested, charged a fair price, and cleaned the site. Isn't this how it should be all the time? ;)"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Yes, pressure washing a wood deck can be a good idea as it effectively lifts ingrained dirt, mold, and mildew, improving the deck's appearance and longevity. However, it must be done carefully, as it's easy to damage the wood, especially softwoods. To pressure wash safely, use a lower pressure setting and a wide, 40-degree fan pattern nozzle (often white). Keep the nozzle at least a foot away from the wood surface and maintain constant motion, avoiding hovering in one spot to prevent gouging.

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.

A deck doesn’t have to be perfectly level. Many pros even recommend a gentle slope to ensure proper drainage and increase longevity. The ideal gentle slope is about 1/8 to 1/4 inch per foot away from the property, leading water away from the home to prevent pooling and reduce the risk of damage. It also minimizes rot, mold, and other moisture-related problems. 

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.

It’s best to prime composite decking before painting. This promotes better paint adhesion, helps create a smooth finish, and can mean the paint job will last longer. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application, allow ample primer drying time before painting (typically 24 to 48 hours), and thoroughly clean the deck boards to promote the best adhesion.
