"I really appreciated that Brandon Pasley provided a written quote stating exactly what services he would provide: how many boards would be replaced, the type of material he would use and how many coats of stain would be applied. No one else did that. He also noted that the corners of the deck were rotted and offered to replace the perimeter board, not just the 15 of the top boards. No one else did that either. After removing the perimeter board he showed me that the ends of many of the boards were rotted and covered in very happy carpenter ants. I was offered 2 solutions to remove the rot. I chose the very reasonable one involving leaving a few cuts in the deck. These are barely noticeable. The workmanship is outstanding as was the communication. I could not be happier with the results and I feel the quote was very reasonable for the amount of work that was done. The wood deck was here when I moved in in 2013 and looks newer than it has since then. Arlene Reed"

"Went so so. There was an issue with the installation. The company came back out to fix their mistake. The initial install of the chair rail was too low. So the chairs were still hitting the wall and damaging it. They had to come back out to take it down and reinstall. During the take down of the original installation the contractor ripped the top layer of drywall along the entire length of the chair rails. Which damaged the walls. After this company performed the work I needed to pay another contractor to repair the walls that were damaged during this project. The damaging of the walls was not communicated to me during the rework. It was unexpected. During the rework I also had to go buy additional materials and then return unused additional materials. So this project caused me unexpected time having to spend time explaining the mistake, having to make a couple extra trips to the hardware store for materials for rework. As well as unexpected additional costs to pay a drywall contractor to mud and sand the unexpected tears in the wall. This company said the tears were because there was wallpaper that was covered up. However the drywall repair contractor I hired to fix the damage said that was not the case."

"We had an eleven year old cedar deck that needed sanding and restaining as well as replacing some rotting boards. We received several estimates for the work and Minquiz Construction came in with a quote that was very reasonable. We are so glad we chose them to do the job. Angel is a craftsman. Our deck stairs had an interesting design and Angel replicated that design and it actually looks better than it did originally. He ended up having to put several coats of stain on the base and he worked on it until it was perfect. We would definitely use Minquiz again."

"I hired Scott to repair structural rot and replace siding on my shed. He was practical, professional and easy to talk with. He understood the scope & scale of the project and got it done in a timely manner. This was a smaller, filler type project for him, but I could tell that he approached my project in the same manner he would for his larger projects. I am happy with his work and would not hesitate to call him again."

"Jaime did an excellent job! I hired another contractor who was doing a shoddy job and did not complete the project. Jaime stepped in and corrected the numerous issues and completed the deck. There was a lot of work that had to be corrected (added support underneath the deck, removed and added boards around the perimeter of the deck, added fascia, added stairs, fixing railing, adding posts, etc.). Wished I had hired him from the beginning! Would have saved myself a lot of headaches, time and money! Jaime fixed the issues and my deck now looks great! He was there everyday and worked long hours. He listened to my concerns and was very communicative. His rate was also very reasonable. Would definitely hire again! Thank you Jaime!!!!!"

"Scott is a one stop shop, he arrived to quote on ceiling drywall repair and ended up repairing siding faccia and a kitchen cabinet that had a big hole in it as well. He is personable, knowledgeable about home repair, his rates are fair and he completes the job in a timely manner. I will definitely hire him for future projects and have already recommended him to friends."

"Frank and the crew we had on our two projects (shower remodel and deck) were great to work with. They were professional, straight forward and helpful during the process. Jason and Miguel were great to work with and always left the work sites clean and tidy at end of the day. Both projects were completed timely and we are super satisfied with the results. We interviewed several contractors and Frank and his crew are the best! We will definitely be using Ultra Source Performance for future projects."

Deck Repair questions, answered by experts

The proper height for a stair riser or deck step is between four and seven inches, with seven inches often considered the most comfortable. Building your stairs to this height ensures a strain-free step position and minimizes the risk of trip and fall injuries. For optimal safety and comfort, especially on deck stairs, a rise of around seven inches should be paired with a tread depth (or run) of at least 10 to 12 inches. While it is possible to design stairs with risers up to 12 inches, this height can be challenging for children, pets, or individuals with mobility issues. Always check with your local building codes, as they may mandate specific dimensions that differ from these general recommendations.

Building a deck is often worth the investment, not only because it provides more utility to your yard and gives you more space to entertain but also because decks tend to add value to your home. Keep in mind that second-story decks often require concrete footings, which means they will bump up your property taxes, while decks built on the first story generally don’t require a permanent foundation and won’t affect your taxes. Even with the tax increase, decks are usually a good investment in the long run.

In many areas, a floating deck that isn’t connected to your home and stays under 200 square feet and below 30 inches in height may not need a permit. These freestanding structures are often considered low-risk, which can simplify the building process. However, building codes vary greatly based on location. Before investing in any home improvement project, check with your local permitting office for deck-building guidelines.

Building a deck isn't too hard if you’re handy with carpentry, have the necessary tools, and are willing to put effort into it. However, other factors, such as plans, permits, and design, can be hard if you don’t have experience in those areas.

Note: You’ll need another person to help you build the deck (especially for framing and setting the beams). Building a deck yourself will be very difficult if you don’t have an extra set of hands to help.

Ultimately, overapplication of stain can compromise the deck's appearance, durability, and longevity. It may result in an uneven finish, with excess stain pooling, dripping, or drying into thick patches. It can also obscure the wood's natural grain and texture, detracting from the desired aesthetic. Moreover, excessive staining may not fully penetrate the wood, leading to poor adhesion and premature wear. Additionally, thick layers of stain are prone to peeling, cracking, and blistering as they struggle to bond with the surface.
