"Sixto was extremely fair in his pricing and brought the crew to get a four day job done in two days since we were trying to get our house on the market. They did really good work and didnâ t miss anything even though it involved 7 rooms with different instructions for each (ceiling only here, trim there, whole thing over there). I would rehire without hesitation."

"I hired Allegro to repair a wooden fence. They also bid on, and completed, a refinishing of a wooden deck. I was VERY happy with their work, and with their customer service! Their communications (via email and smartphone text) were complete, providing a detailed estimate of the work, as well as letting me know when the work would be scheduled. Their pricing was favorable as well, especially considering the quality and knowledge of the work needed. I recommend them and will be happy to use them again for similar projects!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Before installing a new railing, check the condition of the deck frame and joists, especially around the perimeter where posts attach. If boards are loose, soft, or show signs of rot, the structure may need repair. A deck pro can inspect your framing to confirm it meets load-bearing requirements.

Yes, you can build a pool deck yourself, but it takes precision, a lot of time, and many specific tools. You’ll need to create a deck plan, be careful with measurements, cut each piece of wood, secure the pieces properly, and ensure the deck meets building codes. Building a deck around a pool is a rewarding DIY, but it’s time- and labor-intensive, so thoughtfully consider your abilities and the time you have before embarking on this DIY.

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.

PVC decking can get slippery when wet because it’s made from plastic. However, composite and wood decking can also be slippery when wet. It’s best to wear shoes with grippy soles when walking on a wet deck, no matter the material, and to be extra cautious not to slip and fall down.

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.
