"What a great experience! Bill kept us in the loop throughout the whole job explaining each step and where he was at each day until complete. We had new porch posts and railing installed along with our deck power washed, sanded and repainted and other areas on the house repainted. His work is impeccable and we would definitely hire him again. In fact, our neighbors were so impressed with his work they intend to hire him also!! Thx you Bill"

"A+ promptly kept the estimating appointment. I was impressed with the way Mr. Eicher described how they would prep the surfaces for the best long term job. He was honest about wood that needed to be replaced. Their estimate was not the cheapest but, as I said, I was impressed with the good job that was described to me. It was not a good job, but a most excellent job. I could not imagine a better outcome. The crew was very thorough and meticulous with their work as well as courteous. They went above and beyond to give me a perfect outcome. They also completed the project in what I consider ahead of schedule. The work area was cleaned up daily and in the end you could barely tell they had to do extensive scraping of the wood areas. They worked very hard to clean up all the chips that fell from the paint they scrapped off. I would give them the highest rating in all areas of the job. I wish all my repair and updating jobs were done as expertly as this one.

"Outstanding results. He made my Travel Trailer look brand new again. Everyone who saw it before couldn't believe same Trailer. I also had him do my deck, awning, and roof of camper (low pressure) to get all the pine needles & debri off I told him to reserve a day in April 2024 to come back because I sold that trailer and bought a bigger one next door to my sister's that I want to get the works done to... so I start next years season off on the right foot. The price was also a very good Value for all that he did. Thanks So Much Lorry Hood Jasper,Al"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

A random orbital sander is best for sanding a deck because it is easier to handle than other power sanders and is less likely to damage the wood. Most decks are made of types of softwood, so a gentler sanding process is essential to prevent permanent blemishes. For example, belt sanders can gouge softwoods.

It’s best to prime composite decking before painting. This promotes better paint adhesion, helps create a smooth finish, and can mean the paint job will last longer. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application, allow ample primer drying time before painting (typically 24 to 48 hours), and thoroughly clean the deck boards to promote the best adhesion.

While experienced DIYers may take on the challenge, hiring a licensed professional is often the best route, especially for larger or elevated structures. A local deck contractor is typically the best pro for the job, as they have specialized experience and are knowledgeable about local building codes, ensuring your deck is built safely and designed to last. Other professionals who can build a deck include general contractors and carpenters, who may be more readily available in some regions.

The life expectancy of deck boards varies widely based on the material, climate, and maintenance. Untreated wood boards typically last 10 to 30 years with proper care, while pressure-treated boards can last up to 50 years. Hardwoods generally outlast softwoods. Composite boards also tend to last longer than natural wood. Environmental factors like arid or humid climates can shorten a deck's lifespan. To extend the life of wood decking, it's important to consistently clean and seal it to protect against moisture, UV light, and insects.

When installing deck boards, screws are generally a better option than nails. Screws offer superior holding strength over time, keeping the boards securely in place. In contrast, nails are more likely to pop out, which can create a tripping hazard. While you can use either, we recommend using 3-inch galvanized deck screws. To minimize the risk of cracking the wood, it's a good practice to drill small pilot holes before driving the screws into the deck joists.
