"Marcus and his employees did a fantastic job on our house.  He totally prepped the house by scraping away old paint and rotted wood, power washing the exterior and removing broken windows and boards.  He worked with temperatures in the high 90's and finished in the time period he specified.  We contacted him from overseas and he made all arrangements with us in a prompt and professional manner.  I was 100% confident that he would produce a quality product and I was certainly not disappointed.  The house looks absolutely beautiful and crisp, well painted.  I am sure the house will look great for years to come.  Marcus also assured me that he used a top grade paint that will have longevity in all weather conditions for years to come.  I would highly recommend him to others and would use him again for future work.  He was friendly, professional, courteous and dependable.  It was exactly the type of service we expected from someone who could give us quality work from thousands of miles away!  TOP NOTCH!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Choosing whether your deck should be lighter or darker than your house is a matter of personal preference, as there is no right or wrong answer. However, considering the pros and cons of each can help guide your decision. Darker colors are often chosen because they show less dirt, footprints, and marks from daily wear, making them easier to keep clean. On the other hand, lighter deck colors tend to stay cooler in the summer. From a design perspective, using a deck color that contrasts with your home's exterior can help make the deck a more defined and distinct feature. Consulting color theory can also make the process of choosing a complementary house and deck color combination easier.

Although composite decking is extremely durable, it’s also susceptible to extreme heat. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause fading, warping, and cracking. Composite also retains heat more than wood, which makes it dangerous to walk on in the summer. You can help prevent heat damage by only building with composite in shaded areas or using rugs to cover the hottest spots.

To flatten a cupped deck board, start by ensuring it’s dry. Then, try flipping the board over so the cupped side faces down and reattach it. If that’s not possible, you can use screws to pull it tighter to the joists or plane the edges slightly to reduce the cup. It’s best to replace severely cupped boards.

Before installing a deck, you must build a base for the deck to rest upon, often made of compacted soil or gravel. While gravel is an optional material, it helps with drainage. Some contractors also recommend installing a weed control membrane, which helps provide a solid foundation for the frame. In the case of an elevated deck, a pro will often lay down a concrete slab as a foundation. 

Whether to paint or stain a deck depends on your personal preference for appearance and budget. Stain provides a natural look with a range of undertones, is typically less expensive, and may only require one coat, but it does not last as long as paint. Paint offers a sleeker finish with a virtually unlimited color palette. Both options will protect your deck from outdoor elements like rain, snow, and general wear and tear.
