"Angel did an AMAZING job! He tore down an old pool deck and rebuilt an entirely new lower and upper deck, with 2 sets of stairs. From start to finish, working with Cassandra and Angel was easy. They kept constant communications and updates, kept the process moving, and were very knowledgeable when we had questions. Angel was timely, efficient and prompt; there were extremely hot or rainy days, where I thought it wouldn’t be possible to work in those conditions, but he made it work! I can’t praise them enough for their hard work and dedication to making our dream deck come true and making the process seamless. We had several quotes from competitors and the vibe of the others either didn’t understand what we wanted or just always tried to upsell. Minquiz came in with a reasonable & affordable quote that didn’t compromise what we envisioned. They made adjustments and recommendations to the plan as needed, with clear communication. We plan to hire them for future home projects!"

"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."

"Daniel is a hard conscientious worker. He is very easy to work with and shares his ideas when asked. I totally trusted him with cleaning and staining my deck. I wanted a product used to strip and brighten the deck and he said he was happy to do the deck that way. I was extremely pleased with how the deck looked when finished. Daniel was very neat and precise in his work. I will totally use him for other projects."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

No. In most cases, it’s not colder or freezing temperatures that affect decking materials but the amount of moisture that seeps into the materials as a result. For example, wood decking material is more likely to suffer from rot or decay when exposed to excess moisture from snow or ice. An extreme change in temperature can cause wood to expand or contract, but only if it’s not properly treated beforehand.

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.

Yes, it’s definitely possible to build a pergola on an existing deck. All you need to do is attach the pergola support beams to the deck’s joists and build up from there. Beware that mistakes can damage your deck, so if you’re at all unsure of the process, play it safe and hire a pro for your custom build.

Space deck handrail posts four to six feet apart. If the posts are more than six feet apart, the railing will be less able to withstand lateral forces and is more susceptible to breaking. Additionally, railing posts that are more than six feet apart may not be up to code, and you may face fines and be required to reinstall the posts to bring them up to code.

Yes, deck footings typically require an inspection before laying down concrete. While not all local building codes require footing inspection, proper placement ensures a safe and structurally sound deck. An inspector will verify that the deck can adequately hold what you put on top of it., and that the footings have been dug to the correct dimensions.
