"We did get off on the wrong foot when Boris did not show up for the appointment to review and quote on the fence repairs. I wasted half of afternoon waiting for him since he did not call to advise he wasn't coming and did not answer my call. He did show up the following day unannounced and did look to see what the project entailed. Boris was very polite and apologized for not contacting me about missing the first appointment. He provided me with a quote via email that evening. He agreed to schedule the work for some time late in the month but in the event he was able to get the work done within the week. Boris and his helper arrived at mid-morning and worked through the rest of the day to remove five rotted fence posts and repair/reattach a section that had blown out during a heavy winter wind. Their work was nicely done, sturdy, and the six work areas were well-cleaned when they were finished. Based the quality of work and a competitive price, I am glad I chose to have Boris do the work despite my irritation at the outset. I would certainly ask him again to repair the fence if the need arose."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

In most cases, your deck will need some form of deck footing to hold it in place, preventing moisture from rotting your wood and decreasing your deck’s lifespan. Concrete deck blocks are the most common type of footing for floating decks. Some homeowners use ground-level deck footings. For added security, consider digging and laying your ground-level footings below ground.

It’s best to prime composite decking before painting. This promotes better paint adhesion, helps create a smooth finish, and can mean the paint job will last longer. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application, allow ample primer drying time before painting (typically 24 to 48 hours), and thoroughly clean the deck boards to promote the best adhesion.

Constant exposure to inclement weather conditions can damage your deck, causing it to fade, warp, or crack over time. Regular maintenance keeps it looking and performing its best. That means giving it a good cleaning and applying a quality sealant or wood treatment to help defend against moisture, sun damage, and everyday wear.

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.

Decks require several inspections during and after the building process, but the specifics vary depending on where you live. Most areas mandate that decks comply with local building codes and safety regulations for the foundation, framing, and structure. Some pros recommend a footing inspection, which verifies the depth, width, and location of the various footings to ensure they offer enough foundational support.
