"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

While the terms deck and porch are often used interchangeably, they are two distinct structures. A porch is a covered structure, usually attached to the front of a home, that offers protection from the elements. In contrast, a deck is an open, uncovered platform, often attached to the back or side of a home. Because porches have a roof, they typically require less maintenance than decks, but both features need regular cleaning and repairs to stay in good condition.

Composite decking may never warp, or it may warp quickly. Several factors can influence the rate of warping, including the material's quality, installation method, and installation location. Generally speaking, high-quality materials that have been installed properly are drastically less prone to warping.

Most building codes require that spindles or balusters on deck and stair railings be spaced no more than four inches apart. This safety standard, often called the '4-inch sphere rule,' is designed to prevent small children or pets from slipping through the railing. A good way to visualize this is that a 4-inch sphere should not be able to pass between two spindles. For the same safety reason, the space between the bottom rail and the deck floor 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 crucial to check your local building codes to ensure compliance before starting your project.

Many composite decking manufacturers, including the popular Trex brand, offer warranties that protect against warping under specific conditions. These warranties typically last between 20 and 50 years, but they usually exclude claims related to improper installation of the product. Some manufacturer warranties only cover decks built by certified professionals.

A covered deck can be a good investment that increases your home value—especially if you live in a hot region with a lot of sun. A covering over the deck means you can get more use out of it, even on the hottest summer days. With a permanent deck covering, you can even add ceiling fans to help cool down your deck for added comfort.
