"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."

"Very well. The two workers arrived on time and provided work of high quality. I tried to schedule this service for April and phoned in March. However, spring rain prevented the April work. Because of this the deck furniture and flower pots were in place--the workmen removed these items and one returned, after the paint was dry, to move these items back to the deck. Outstanding service! I have this company back every two years for this deck work; the service and work quality are always outstanding."

"This contractor did a superb job of restoring a deck which had been very poorly stained by another firm several years ago. The original stain had been irregularly applied with many large spots and a generally unsightly appearance. GUP not only cleaned and restained the deck but went the exta distance to sand out the overstained spots left by the original company. The result was a deck which looks perfect and shows no evidence of the earlier mistakes. GUP delivered on time, within the estimate and worked many extra hours to get the job done right. I would recommend them to everyone. They are true professionals."

"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."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Footings for ground-level decks need to be at least 12 inches deep, and some areas require them to be even deeper. A standard range for deck footings is anywhere from 12 to 48 inches. The minimum footing depth is determined by an area’s frost line and soil conditions. If you’re unsure how deep to install deck footings, check local building codes to find the minimum footing depth in your area. 

It is definitely worth sanding a deck to ensure the wood absorbs new stain. Sanding a deck removes the outer layers of aging wood, allowing the stain to penetrate. It also gives a fresh look to the entire surface as part of the deck refinishing process. Without sanding, your stain or sealant is less likely to absorb into the wood. While sanding a deck is a time-intensive project, the rewards are noticeable and long-lasting.

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.

It’s important to make sure the wood on a new deck is properly seasoned. Seasoning a deck is simple: Once you build it (or have a pro do so), just leave it alone so it can acclimate to the environment. If you don’t give the deck proper seasoning time before staining, the stain can lock in any lingering moisture and cause mold, rot, and other moisture issues down the road. Give the wood at least four to eight weeks to season before you stain.

The best base materials for a ground-level or floating deck are typically gravel and crushed stone (also known as landscaping rocks). These options are inexpensive, provide excellent drainage, prevent weeds, and help minimize moisture buildup, which reduces shifting and rotting. For added stability and to evenly distribute the weight, you can use concrete deck blocks or pavers. While more expensive, concrete blocks and pavers offer a sturdier base than gravel or crushed stone alone.
