"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."

"The job was just to replace the panels on the fence in the backyard. Robert came out for an estimate and told me that the posts were fine and I only had to get new panels and he'd put them up. We set an appt for 8:00. At 8:45 that morning, I had to call to see if he was coming. He said he was on his way. Having made special arrangements to be here at 8:00, this lack of communication and punctuality really irritated me. Rob finally showed after 9:00. He didn't stop in to say he was here - he just got to work. I'm glad I didn't have any special instructions for the job! In the end, the fence looks nice. It is almost all level side to side but not really front to back. I assume that this is because the posts are no longer square - a fact that I would have appreciated having been notified about and given the opportunity to rectify. All in all, this is a passing job because you really can't tell by looking at the fence that there is anything wrong. And the cost was so much lower than any other estimate that I got that it's hard to complain."

"The project turned out great! Progressive Restoration was awesome to work with. They were decisive, efficient, and skilled. Marc was super responsive, and the pricing for the job was more than fair. They will be our 1st call for any future carpentry work that comes up at our house. Highly recommend!"

"We HIGHLY recommend Andy and Seasonal Landscape Solutions. The block retaining wall that Andy installed is beautiful and the quality is excellent. The retaining walls turned out so much better than we expected. Andy and his crew also tied the new block wall into the existing block wall perfectly. Andy is both professional and personable."

"The owner, Robert Buehler met me very early in the day making it convenient for me and provided an E-mailed quote by that evening. His schedule was  followed as promised, finishing on the day agreed. His people were skilled, neat and polite. Their trim work was virtually perfect and repairs to look indistinguishable from new. They installed a new ceiling  over plaster flawlessly. The room shows completely as new. Extra care was extended for fixtures but its the repair to the vaulted ceiling that truly separates R.F.B. A Complete Drywall Co. from the rest. The result was just fabulous. We need to have the deck done and some other outside work and wouldn't consider using anyone but RFB"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Yes. Freestanding or floating decks are exactly what the name implies—structures with their own support beams. You can build a deck yourself and place it next to a house for the illusion of a connected deck without the hassle. Or you can construct it in a separate part of your yard for a dedicated outdoor entertainment space. For the purpose of removing a freestanding deck, the steps are the same as an attached deck, but you don’t have to cut the deck away from the home.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

PVC decking might be long-lasting, but this synthetic material lacks​​ the natural aesthetic or sustainability of wood decking. If you want to match your decking to your new garden furniture or just freshen up the faded surface, it’s not usually possible to paint PVC decking. When comparing PVC to composite decking, PVC is pricier and more prone to warping in hot regions.

That depends on the condition of your deck. An older deck that looks drab, worn, or has multiple damaged boards might be worth replacing before selling. However, if your deck is in good condition, you can simply clean, repaint, or stain it.

As with patios, there are many types of deck choices to choose from to add personalization to your home. Some common deck options include:

  • Attached decks are anchored to the home and include simple ground-level options or multi-level structures with stairways and separate landings. 

  • Detached island decks are not attached to the home; they’re a freestanding structure in the yard. 

  • Wraparound decks connect the back of the house with at least one other side and often are built with railings for safety. 

  • Multi-level decks connect your deck through varying levels of elevation, featuring landings that are attached to stairs.
