"Derek was on time, professional, courteous. He installed two grab bars; one into ceramic tile and one into wallboard-both going into studs for safety. He cleaned up afterwards and left everything as he found it. Excellent work! Will use him again."

"First off, communication was very important, and was very good. They showed up when they said they would. And the job was completed pretty much in the time frame they said it would take, even though the weather didnâ t cooperate and had to put some of it off for a week. Dave, the owner kept me advised of how things were going. I will definitely keep his name and number for future use."

Deck Maintenance FAQs, answered by experts

Both deck footings and deck posts help prop up your deck. However, footings are the bottommost parts of a deck that touch the ground. They’re usually made of concrete. Posts are pieces of wood that attach to the top of the footings with brackets. They run upwards and connect to the underside of your deck to support its weight.

Pressure-treated decks last 15 to 20 years on average, but with proper maintenance, you could get 40 to 50 years of value from yours. Reseal your deck every one to two years, and replace old or rotted wood as soon as possible to avoid structural damage. Where you live plays a role in the lifespan of your deck. Intense sunlight, rainfall, wind, and hail can reduce the deck’s lifespan.

Routine cleaning, sealing/staining, and inspection prolong deck life and appearance.

In most cases, there should be a small gap between the house and the deck, usually no more than ½ to ¾ of an inch. This space allows water and moisture to flow through instead of pooling against the side of your house. It also lets flashing protect your siding from runoff, which is one of the most common issues with decks.

Be careful when choosing a product to help you remove ice from your wood deck. Never use sand, gravel, or salt, since these items can damage and scratch the wood. Instead, look for chemical de-icers that are marked as safe for wood decks or use hot water to melt snow and ice.
