"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

A cedar deck can increase your home's value if the project is executed well. The value added by a deck is influenced by factors such as location, materials, and craftsmanship. In regions with warmer climates, decks are particularly desirable, enhancing outdoor living spaces.

The key to getting the most value out of your investment, both in terms of home value and personal enjoyment, is to make sure your deck is built to exacting standards. You should consult with a professional deck builder to get the best results and the highest ROI.

The best time to paint your deck is when temperatures are neither too cold (below 60 degrees) nor too hot (above 85 degrees). Always paint your deck when there’s no risk of rain. For fast-drying paint like acrylic or latex, ensure your deck can dry for at least four hours. Oil-based paints take longer to dry and may require 48 hours to completely cure.

Most building codes require that railing spindles (also known as balusters) on decks or stairs be spaced no more than four inches apart. This safety standard is often called the '4-inch sphere rule,' which means a sphere with a 4-inch diameter should not be able to pass through the opening between balusters. This rule is in place to prevent small children and pets from slipping through the railing. For the same reason, the space between the bottom rail and the deck or floor surface should also be no more than four inches. As a general guideline, professionals often install three balusters per foot of railing. However, since specific requirements can vary by location, it is essential to check your local building codes to ensure compliance before starting your project.

As with patios, there are many types of deck choices to choose from to add personalization to your home. Some common deck options include:

  • Attached decks are anchored to the home and include simple ground-level options or multi-level structures with stairways and separate landings. 

  • Detached island decks are not attached to the home; they’re a freestanding structure in the yard. 

  • Wraparound decks connect the back of the house with at least one other side and often are built with railings for safety. 

  • Multi-level decks connect your deck through varying levels of elevation, featuring landings that are attached to stairs.

What goes under your floating deck depends on your preferences. Some homeowners put landscaping fabric underneath their decks to prevent weeds from popping up through the boards. Others choose to build a floating deck over grass or gravel. However, it’s best not to set your deck directly on the ground. Instead, set your deck on blocks to keep it elevated enough to prevent moisture from rotting the wood.
