"Jaimie and his crew did a great job on replacing all my deck boards and building a privacy wall. They were here on time every day and were very accommodating and meticulous and seemed to take pride in their work. Communicated very well. I would definitely recommend them for any project."

"Excellent work! I had a garden entry door that had shifted in the frame after I had brick work done overhead. The door was sticking at the top on the latch side requiring a lot of force to open and close. Abraham removed the door and shaved down the hinge side at the top and middle to even out the door so that it smoothy opened and closed on the latch side. He took the initiative to touch up the work area with white paint for a clean finish before I had to ask. Abraham also installed a new lock on another door, which required him to shave out the latch frame to be flush. Would highly recommend."

"Filmon was a pleasure to work with. Very disciplined, professional, and punctual. I contacted him to repair my exterior door but he ended up painting my bedrooms, mending my closets and fixing many things around the house. I recently purchased a house and he was considerate of that with his prices too. Filmon also gave me valuable advices in regarding to house maintenance which made things very easy. As a first time homeowner, i felt very supported. Iâ m already recommending him to family and friends, and i wouldnâ t hesitate to work with him again."

Deck Repair questions, answered by experts

Footings for ground-level decks need to be at least 12 inches deep, and some areas require them to be even deeper. A standard range for deck footings is anywhere from 12 to 48 inches. The minimum footing depth is determined by an area’s frost line and soil conditions. If you’re unsure how deep to install deck footings, check local building codes to find the minimum footing depth in your area. 

An above-ground pool with a deck can increase your home's value by as much as 4% to 7%, but it depends on your local climate, potential buyers, and the size and condition of your pool. Some buyers see a pool as a liability instead of a luxury, especially if it's at the end of its life span. In general, it's best to add a pool and deck to your property if it will bring you enjoyment—not because it raises the value of your home.

A sunroom will add more value to your home than a deck, but with a much higher up-front cost. Depending on its construction and function, a sunroom may be counted as additional living space, while a deck is strictly an outdoor feature. Both will increase your home’s value, but the sunroom will have a much bigger effect.

The best material for your deck depends on several factors, including your budget, location, aesthetic preferences, and the level of maintenance you’re willing to do. Wood decking, like redwood, ipe, cedar, and pine, lasts the longest, but it’s more expensive and requires more upkeep than composite and synthetic decking.

Liquid rubber is great for waterproofing, but it can damage your deck if it’s not applied correctly. First, it can trap moisture in the wood if the deck isn’t completely dry before application.  Second, applying it too thickly can create a heavy, rubbery surface layer that peels and cracks under fluctuating temperatures. For the best results, ensure the wood is completely dry before application, and apply the liquid rubber in thin, even coats. A quick inspection every now and then will help you catch any issues early, keeping your deck protected and looking its best.
