"Excellent job repairing our deck! The job was to power wash, replace boards as needed, and paint. The power wash and replacement of boards was well done. Two coats of paint were applied well. Our unhappiness stems from the finished project's paint not looking at all like the paint chip. We get that the actual paint job won't be a perfect match to the chip, but this was way off and way too light. We noticed as they were going into the second coat and said that it didn't look right. Even after it dried, the color was very much too light. I wish they'd had enough knowledge (?) to advise us of this before they got the paint. They kind of shrugged off our complaint because "this is the shade you ordered." We paid in full for the work they did. Then went to Menard's and found a darker shade of the same paint line that we applied ourselves. The deck looks great now."

"My experience with Moe was incredible. He was such a welcoming and kind person from the moment I talked to him. He made sure he understood exactly what I wanted before getting started on anything and I could tell he was really paying attention and wanting to give me what I asked for. His work was incredible and amazing. I needed my deck repaired and fixed before my family came from out of town and he was able to make that happen efficiently and perfectly. I couldn't have asked for anyone better as a worker and as a person. He really did amazing and I wouldn't hesitate to hire him again in the future!!!!"

"I needed to have a new countertop, kitchen sink, and install gas cooktop. So based on reviews we trusted. We choose Slip Proof. This company certainly delivered a good product. When the work was completed I sent my out of the area daughter pictures. She was equally impressed, as we are. I didn't know Frank before we hired him. Hired him on the great reviews. So here I am adding what he earned. Project came out beautifully. On schedule and budget. Frank is a very pleasant person, sincere and I felt he cares about his work and people. He listens, cares, and gets the project completed. Will we hire him again? Most definitely, will I recommend him to family and friends? Most definitely. My first thoughts were “Oh he's a bit far from us”. Not a problem at all. Our project was finished on schedule. Also this company works all over. So… Glad we hired Frank and his team. You will not be disappointed with their work and he is very customer oriented as well."

Deck Repair questions, answered by experts

Staining and sealing the underside of a deck creates a moisture barrier but traps water in the boards, quickly leading to rot. No matter how well you seal the above deck, water still gets through via nails and screw heads on the surface. Allow this water to flow naturally under the deck, where it is routed through the drainage system.

For the best results, stay off of your deck for at least 48 hours after sealing it. Giving the sealant at least two full days to cure ensures it can fully penetrate the wood, giving you the most protection from sun and weather damage later on. Walking on the deck too soon can prevent it from properly curing and cause your deck to weather prematurely.

Both deck footings and deck posts help prop up your deck. However, footings are the bottommost parts of a deck that touch the ground. They’re usually made of concrete. Posts are pieces of wood that attach to the top of the footings with brackets. They run upwards and connect to the underside of your deck to support its weight.

Building codes for deck railings can vary by location, so it's important to consult your local regulations before construction. Generally, a guardrail is required for any deck that is more than 30 inches above the ground.

For residential properties, the standard minimum height for a deck railing is 36 inches. However, some states and municipalities have stricter requirements; for example, California and Washington mandate railings that are at least 42 inches high. Therefore, a 42-inch railing is not considered too high and may be required in your area or chosen voluntarily for additional safety.

In addition to height requirements, codes also specify other safety features, such as the maximum spacing between balusters to ensure they are close enough to prevent a child from squeezing through.

Decks require several inspections during and after the building process, but the specifics vary depending on where you live. Most areas mandate that decks comply with local building codes and safety regulations for the foundation, framing, and structure. Some pros recommend a footing inspection, which verifies the depth, width, and location of the various footings to ensure they offer enough foundational support.
