"Brindley was incredible! I'm not sure I have ever seen anyone as industrious and thorough. He stayed true to his estimate. He prepped the deck, replaced the weather damaged planks and spindles. Everything was done in a timely manner. I could not be more pleased. Photos available."

"We are extremely please with Nagas Landscape and Design.  I found them through Angie's list and another person's review.  From the beginning Jason listened to what we needed and discussed options, especially in regard to the drainage into our crawlspace.  Last year we had mold work done in the crawlspace.  When the house was built a 5% grade was not put on the east side of our house.  Jason explained that a 5% grade would not really be helpful since we live on the downside of the house next to us (the whole street is pretty much on a decline down).  He suggested a digging a swell with river rock to catch most of the water.  He made it look quite nice.  He also put in a 3-4 ft flower bed, which I've wanted since we moved in 10 years ago, and planted the flowers we bought, plus mulched the flower beds, new and existing.  He took out a dead butterfly bush (cold winter and cut back too far killed it).  The deck had several places that needed repaired, all of it needed cleaned and stained. This took a little longer than expected as it hadn't been treated in a while, but not unduly so.  Also, the house siding needed power washed and Jason's crew also did this.  They were courteous the whole time,  We appreciated Jason taking the time to discuss what was happening and when they would be here.  He kept us informed of delays do to weather.  The whole experience was a pleasant one and we definitely would hire them again and recommend Nagas Landscape and Design.
Thank you, Jason and crew!

"Brandon and his crew were great. They did the work quickly, they rolled with several changes that I requested, their prices were fair, and they never exceeded the estimate. They took good care of our artwork and furniture. They moved things as needed (I didn't have to do that in advance), and everything is in good shape.
The house looks wonderful. We are putting it on the market, and we are delighted with the improvement that First Choice provided. We recommend them highly!

"The guy who built the deck did a really good job. He was very thorough and picked up good materials. He took a little bit longer than he said he was going to take, but I really didn?t mind that once I saw the work he was doing. He takes his time and does a good job. So it was worth waiting. We had to buy the lighting and he installed it for us. There was a day when he didn?t show up and we were wondering where he went. He then showed up the next day and told us what had happened. He spent the whole day from morning till night working here. That only happened once or twice. If need be, then I would hire him back."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Homeowners should build their floating decks at least 18 inches off the ground. Having it at this height will allow for better airflow underneath and help prevent moisture-related problems like warping or rot. That being said, local guidelines for deck heights may vary depending on where you live.

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.

In general, you need a footing at each corner of your deck, and within 8 feet of each other. So, how many you need depends on the size and shape of your deck, plus any local building codes. It also depends on factors like the load capacity of your soil and the weight of your deck. You can find a footing calculator online or contact a pro for support.

Wood decks need to be replaced every 10 to 15 years on average. Natural wood is highly vulnerable to infiltration and damage from moisture, which can occur rapidly due to exposure to outdoor elements. You can protect your deck and maximize its lifespan by sealing it every year or two.

Yes, you can attach a deck to a mobile home, but it’s important that the work be done correctly to avoid the potential for major damage to your home. Many building codes require that any additions to mobile homes—including decks—be either freestanding or have their own support structures. Getting permits may require submitting the home's original floor plan, the proposed floor plan, framing details, and more.
