"Work took some time to get scheduled but was performed diligently and results were high quality and in-line with estimate and expectations. The deck required a large amount of stripping before resealing which was done successfully. If you have a deck needing rework I recommend Deck Rescue as an option."

"Jay came out to meet with me soon after I submitted my project. He offered up some great options and came back with a great price. Tim and John came out and took great care to demo the old decking and rails quickly. They did a great building the new rails, installed a new privacy wall on the upper deck, and laying down the new decking. I had issues with the stability of stairs and they provided solutions to secure the stairs and prevent any further movement when I walk up and down the steps. They are a hard working, professional, and approachable team."

"Everything looks good. They said their process would be to pressure wash to remove any dirt before painting a day before; did so. They suggested replacement of some rotten wood. They replaced it and painted some cedar siding, soffits and the gutters all the same color. Marcos said that he wouldn't sell the job to another contractor and that he would be there for the job. As far as I could tell, he was not present for the entire job and I had a bit of trouble with one of the painters, but I let Marcos know about it later. If I hadn't been home, I wouldn't have know of any of the problems with the painter, so it was no big deal in the long run. I would hire him again. His quote was a lot less than the other painter's quote. They were able to do the job much sooner than the other painter offered to do it. Marcos was even nice enough to offer some advice on some DIY deck painting we were going to do, and that was awfully nice of him."

"This is the most helpful and professional landscaping company. They did everything very neatly and with great knowledge of different types of plants and trees. Owner Jason is extremely friendly and helpful. They even asked if there was anything else we needed to make sure what they did was fine with me. I wish all other companies were as personal and very talented as this. Will ask them to do more work again because they are so great to work with.

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Building codes for deck railings can vary by location, so it's important to consult your local regulations before construction. Generally, a guardrail is required for any deck that is more than 30 inches above the ground.

For residential properties, the standard minimum height for a deck railing is 36 inches. However, some states and municipalities have stricter requirements; for example, California and Washington mandate railings that are at least 42 inches high. Therefore, a 42-inch railing is not considered too high and may be required in your area or chosen voluntarily for additional safety.

In addition to height requirements, codes also specify other safety features, such as the maximum spacing between balusters to ensure they are close enough to prevent a child from squeezing through.

The best way to sand a deck is by cleaning it, sanding the boards and stairs with 60- or 80-grit sandpaper, and sanding the railings and posts with 80-grit sandpaper. You should sand in the direction of the wood grain to avoid damaging the timber. When sanding your deck, use medium pressure and aim for an even sand. Pressing too hard with a sander can damage decks, as most are softwoods.

There are several methods for attaching stair stringers to a deck. The best way is to bolt the stringers to the deck joists using three carriage bolts in a triangular pattern. This method offers the sturdiest fit for stairs that won’t budge. Alternatively, attach the stringers to the deck rims using lag bolts or to the posts using adjustable slope hangers.

Liquid rubber is great for waterproofing, but it can damage your deck if it’s not applied correctly. First, it can trap moisture in the wood if the deck isn’t completely dry before application.  Second, applying it too thickly can create a heavy, rubbery surface layer that peels and cracks under fluctuating temperatures. For the best results, ensure the wood is completely dry before application, and apply the liquid rubber in thin, even coats. A quick inspection every now and then will help you catch any issues early, keeping your deck protected and looking its best.

Putting lattice under a deck will create a polished look that allows for air ventilation. You can also store items underneath as the lattice provides privacy and protection from the weather. You can also put lattice under a porch to create a polished look in the front of your house.
