"Excellent experience from start to finish. The team was professional, punctual, and communicated clearly throughout the repair. They completed the deck repair with quality workmanship, cleaned up after the job, and made sure everything was done right. I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing deck or porch repairs."

"Good value and good communication. Marco was able to start our re-decking project early due to weather conditions. He was very flexible with respect to keeping costs low, but refused to sacrifice quality. Late on a Friday he ran out of full length boards, and even though Iâ d approved allowing him to piece boards together, he decided to go back and get more wood since he didnâ t think weâ d be satisfied with the end result. He did this even though he knew it would delay the start of his weekend. Weâ re very pleased with the end result! Weâ ve recommended him to a number of people in the homeowners association."

"I found them to be extremely professional! They did amazing work and fit right in with my budget! They kept me in the loop prior to any change or additional recommendationsb I had to be at work while they completed my deck! They emailed me when they were done and they waited until my son took a picture so I could approve the project! I would definitely use them again !"

"Haven Landscape did a great job. After they completed the project you would have never known that a trench and drains were installed in the yard. Everything was restored perfectly. They identified the problem and resolved the issue."

"I don't know where to start. I wish all carpenters were like Daniel Garcia. I must admit I had reservations trusting estimates after my last experience with the contractor that stained my deck a couple years ago. Daniel took time to explain to me the areas that needed extra care and how he could fix what the other company did wrong. He wasn't pushy and understanding my prior experience, he confirmed my comfort throughout each step of his process. Although it took more time and work, Daniel and his team took their time to sand the whole deck to ensure they did a great job, were proud of their work, and would have a satisfied costumer. Not only are we satisfied, my deck looks even better than we were expecting. I will definitely hire Daniel again, and please trust his expertise, he knows what he's doing. 10 🌟's if the rating was possible!!!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Some elevated decks require stairs that lead to the ground level per the local fire codes in some municipalities. In other regions, a staircase is an optional feature that can increase accessibility and convenience for homeowners who want ground-level access to their deck. Additionally, a staircase is necessary if your home doesn't have an existing door leading to the deck.

If you want to make a deck cleaner from products already in your home, there are various options. The most common is to use a gentle blend of 1 gallon of warm water and 2 tablespoons of ammonia-free dish soap. You can also mix water with distilled vinegar. Sprinkling on some baking soda can help to remove mold and mildew. You can add oxygen bleach (but never damaging chlorine bleach) to the water and ammonia-free dish soap solution for something a bit stronger. 

A deck doesn’t have to be perfectly level. Many pros even recommend a gentle slope to ensure proper drainage and increase longevity. The ideal gentle slope is about 1/8 to 1/4 inch per foot away from the property, leading water away from the home to prevent pooling and reduce the risk of damage. It also minimizes rot, mold, and other moisture-related problems. 

Whether composite decking is better than wood depends on your priorities, especially regarding budget and maintenance. Composite decking offers superior longevity (30 to 50 years) and durability, and it is low-maintenance, requiring no sanding, staining, or sealing. In contrast, wood decks typically last 10 to 30 years and need refinishing every few years. While the upfront cost of composite is higher than wood, the reduced maintenance can lead to long-term savings. If a lower initial cost is the primary factor, wood is the more affordable choice.

While the terms deck and porch are often used interchangeably, they are two distinct structures. A porch is a covered structure, usually attached to the front of a home, that offers protection from the elements. In contrast, a deck is an open, uncovered platform, often attached to the back or side of a home. Because porches have a roof, they typically require less maintenance than decks, but both features need regular cleaning and repairs to stay in good condition.
