"I hired A&K decking fencing and more to replace my front and back porch. Prior to hiring them, the front porch steps were loose, the railing was ineffective (for the front porch) and there was no railing on the back porch leaving quite a bit of a drop-off, not to mention it was sloping and felt unsafe. They were quick to come out and give me a quote on the spot and were affordable. The longest part was getting the permit from the city and as soon as that was acquired, they were ready within 48 hours to do the job. They kept contacting me to follow up to check on if I had the permit, which I appreciated their responsiveness. They did an excellent job of replacing both porches, went above and beyond in helping with my fence issues (the gate install wasn't done right by a different contractor), and were affordable for making those repairs. They also noticed that the back porch roof wasn't secure to the wood block and replaced that for me as well. Every step of the way I felt confident in the work that they provided. I would hire them again in an instant (and wish I'd have known about them when I had my fence done because my fence contractor was a nightmare). These guys are reputable, dependable, affordable, and high quality. I'm extremely satisfied with the work they did, the end product, and their level of service. Highly recommend."

"Neil did the job fantastically and explained what he was doing throughout, always asked for an inspection to make sure it was done to my satisfaction. Pricing was extremely fair and he was timely and quick. Would highly recommend for any insulation work you need done. Can’t speak on the other work he does, but if it’s on par with what he did for me, then you’d be doing well."

Deck Repair questions, answered by experts

Deck skirting shouldn’t touch the ground, especially if you have a wood deck, which is vulnerable to moisture. Ideally, you should leave at least 3/4 of an inch of space between the deck skirting and the ground for more ventilation. Pros also recommend that you incorporate about 1 square foot of space for ventilation for the underside of the deck to every 150 square feet of decking. Proper ventilation prevents mold growth and rot that can damage your deck.

Yes, it’s definitely possible to build a pergola on an existing deck. All you need to do is attach the pergola support beams to the deck’s joists and build up from there. Beware that mistakes can damage your deck, so if you’re at all unsure of the process, play it safe and hire a pro for your custom build.

Yes, adding railing to a deck is a great way to improve safety and your home’s aesthetic appeal. Railings can be constructed from wood, metal, or composite, and there are plenty of choices regarding design and style. Always consult local building codes before starting any building project—there are often requirements regarding spacing and height that can differ slightly from place to place.

PVC decking tends to be cooler than composite because the material is less dense and absorbs less heat. However, it depends on the deck’s color. A dark-colored PVC deck may run hotter than a light-colored composite deck. If you’re concerned about your deck getting too hot, it’s best to stick to a light color such as beige or gray.

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.
