"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, and in some cases, frozen ground may improve the digging process for footings due to sturdier conditions. It’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’t affect the building process.

A deck that isn’t attached to a house is called a floating or freestanding deck. These standalone decks are built near ground level, so they usually don’t need deck stairs. Some don’t even require permits. Generally speaking, building a floating deck is faster and more DIY-friendly than constructing one that’s connected to your home.

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.

Before installing a deck, you must build a base for the deck to rest upon, often made of compacted soil or gravel. While gravel is an optional material, it helps with drainage. Some contractors also recommend installing a weed control membrane, which helps provide a solid foundation for the frame. In the case of an elevated deck, a pro will often lay down a concrete slab as a foundation. 

The life expectancy of deck boards varies widely based on the material, climate, and maintenance. Untreated wood boards typically last 10 to 30 years with proper care, while pressure-treated boards can last up to 50 years. Hardwoods generally outlast softwoods. Composite boards also tend to last longer than natural wood. Environmental factors like arid or humid climates can shorten a deck's lifespan. To extend the life of wood decking, it's important to consistently clean and seal it to protect against moisture, UV light, and insects.
