"Noah Deck Repair did an outstanding job on repairing, power washing and staining my deck. They were professional and were able to accommodate my schedule. They also were able to expedite the process given that rain was in the forecast in the upcoming days. I highly recommend them for any deck repairs or staining project that you might have."

"I spoke with Daniel on 1st day, we conversed back and forth. Right away he stated they could fix the door to close properly. Sent pics, he gave quote and stuck by that amount. Later we wanted door plate done as well. Extra amount was fair. The worker was most efficient and no nonsense, didn't stop until he was done. Very happy. Will choose again for other projects for sure."

"Excellent! I honestly cannot say enough about Rob and his crew! The RFB team has to be the most friendly and detail oriented service team I have ever contracted. From quote to completion, the experience with these guys has been phenomenal! I received 2 quotes prior to start both from Angie's List and both A rated services. Quote #1: The first service to come in and quote was very reputable and friendly, but continued to make comments on how much detail work there was to be done and how any of the smaller patch areas would require a full wall, ceiling, etc repaint. The quote reflected those opinions and quite frankly, I don't think they wanted to job. Quote #2...enter Rob from RFB. Friendly, energetic and completely focused on me as the potential customer. His comments throughout walking the house and seeing the detail work that would be involved were simply "no problem". In addition and without me asking, Rob offered up that as long as had the original paint to color match they could very easily blend many of the patch ares on walls and ceilings without needing to do the whole thing. His comments..."we've been doing this a long time and I think we can save you money by doing this"...WHAT? THANK YOU ROB!! His follow up..."but if we find it's too noticeable or you don't like it, then we'll fix it to your satisfaction. Let me tell you, it all looks seamless! Another mention is that when Rob or the team were working an area and noticed something there that they didn't like or think would look good with the other fresh pain...they let me know and they addressed it...no charge. No to be confused with free work, but if they were already there they just took care of it. Again, THANK YOU ROB AND TEAM!! They tarped, they put plastic, they vacuumed and made sure the house was as livable as possible at the end of every day. Simply, top quality work and customer service. If you're reading this review, I highly encourage you to consider a quote from RFB for paint or drywall work. I will be hiring them again in the spring to re stain my deck. RFB will offer you great work at a fair price! Rob, Bob, Doug & Daryl - Thank you again! It was a pleasure having you here! Natha Green"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Wood decks need to be replaced every 10 to 15 years on average. Natural wood is highly vulnerable to infiltration and damage from moisture, which can occur rapidly due to exposure to outdoor elements. You can protect your deck and maximize its lifespan by sealing it every year or two.

Space deck handrail posts four to six feet apart. If the posts are more than six feet apart, the railing will be less able to withstand lateral forces and is more susceptible to breaking. Additionally, railing posts that are more than six feet apart may not be up to code, and you may face fines and be required to reinstall the posts to bring them up to code.

No. In most cases, it’s not colder or freezing temperatures that affect decking materials but the amount of moisture that seeps into the materials as a result. For example, wood decking material is more likely to suffer from rot or decay when exposed to excess moisture from snow or ice. An extreme change in temperature can cause wood to expand or contract, but only if it’s not properly treated beforehand.

No, you don’t need a permit to repair and replace a few boards on an existing deck. However, if you’re making structural changes to the deck or tearing down the old one and building a new one, you will likely need a permit. Check with your local municipality for the regulations and rules in your area, or ask a local contractor who builds decks for advice.

Because adding a deck will yield a higher property value, you may have higher insurance costs. It’s important to follow the codes and regulations set by your local and state governments, so your insurance rates can be properly calculated. You may need an insurance revaluation after your deck is completed. The best course of action is to speak with an insurance professional to understand how adding a deck will impact your home’s insurance costs before you begin.
