"The O'Rourke team was a joy to work with. Sean came out, met us, listened to what we wanted in a deck, and came back with a very competitive estimate. He was happy to make some revisions, and we hired him. His team took care of obtaining permits, removing the old deck, preparing the ground (including a weed barrier), and building the new deck. Sean was easy to communicate with and kept us updated as things went along. We realized we had made an error in what we requested, and he was able to pivot and give us a beautiful deck that we use often. Our deck is the envy of the neighborhood and we love it! Thanks O'Rourke!"

"We hired Gerlyn to rebuild our deck, replacing old wood with composite material. Angel and his crew were very professional in their approach to the job and made sure they did everything right. The deck is beautiful, and frankly more solid than before. The price was very reasonable, they started the project within a week of our agreement, and were on the job 8 to 5 every day until the project was completed. I will gladly turn to Gerlyn Services for my home improvement projects in the future."

"Thomas was great to work with. He came the same day we call to give an estimate, and guided us on cleaning the deck. His price was very reasonable. Our date had to be changed because of the weather, but he kept us informed as to when he would be here. Started on time and worked through both days efficiently. He even repaired two boards without us even asking, and helped us move some furniture. Did a great job! We certainly recommend him and will call him for other projects!"

"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

Expect to spend around $10,000 to $11,000 to replace a 20-by-20-foot deck. Using high-end materials like composite or exotic hardwoods can drive up the cost, as can custom features and design elements. You can also expect to pay more than average if your deck replacement requires a site evaluation or if you need the work done during the busy season.

Deck boards should be spaced no more than three-eighths of an inch apart. This is enough space to allow water and small debris to pass through without collecting on the surface, but not enough to create a tripping hazard. Certain materials, like pressure-treated wood, shrink over time, so they may need less space at installation.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

Building a deck isn't too hard if you’re handy with carpentry, have the necessary tools, and are willing to put effort into it. However, other factors, such as plans, permits, and design, can be hard if you don’t have experience in those areas.

Note: You’ll need another person to help you build the deck (especially for framing and setting the beams). Building a deck yourself will be very difficult if you don’t have an extra set of hands to help.

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.
