"B&K Home Improvement took my breezeway from “Wow.” in a bad way to“WOW!” in a good way. When we bought our house, it was being sold as a tear down. We gutted and updated the living areas but the breezeway was a job that was too big for us to take on ourselves. B&K tore up the crumbling concrete floor and poured a beautiful, dyed and polished one. They took our outdated, brittle window wall and updated the entire front of our house by replacing it with an entry door and windows that give a cozy cottage vibe. The back wall of the room now boasts an oversized sliding door that provides a clear view to our colorful backyard gardens. From the first point of contact, B&K have provided efficient, cost effective service that leaves no detail to question. They were incredibly patient with me as I took my time making decisions and were super helpful when I requested guidance. The men who provided the skilled labor were always laughing which made having them around a pleasure. B&K is unmatched."

"They were efficient, hard working and congenial. They identified additional work that could be accomplished at a lessor expense since the equipment was already here. They respected my property and cleaned up when done. I will have them back next year for additional work."

Deck Cleaning questions, answered by experts

The life expectancy of deck boards varies widely based on the material, climate, and maintenance. Untreated wood boards typically last 10 to 30 years with proper care, while pressure-treated boards can last up to 50 years. Hardwoods generally outlast softwoods. Composite boards also tend to last longer than natural wood. Environmental factors like arid or humid climates can shorten a deck's lifespan. To extend the life of wood decking, it's important to consistently clean and seal it to protect against moisture, UV light, and insects.

In most cases, there should be a small gap between the house and the deck, usually no more than ½ to ¾ of an inch. This space allows water and moisture to flow through instead of pooling against the side of your house. It also lets flashing protect your siding from runoff, which is one of the most common issues with decks.

You do not have to dig footers for a deck as long as it meets local code and holds up to weather in your area. If you live somewhere that experiences high winds and earthquakes, you may need to dig for your deck posts. Deck blocks, post anchors with base plates, and helical pile systems are the three no-dig deck post options you can choose from if local code permits.

Deck repairs cost around $800 to $3,500 . However, your cost depends on the type and severity of the repair, as well as the type of decking material you have. Other factors, like location and labor costs, impact the price, too. Boards and railings are the priciest parts of a deck to repair, while loose stairs are less expensive to fix.

A deck that isn’t attached to a house is called a floating or freestanding deck. These standalone decks are built near ground level, so they usually don’t need deck stairs. Some don’t even require permits. Generally speaking, building a floating deck is faster and more DIY-friendly than constructing one that’s connected to your home.
