"Legacy Home did a fantastic job with installing a brand new fence. I told them of long and wide the fence should be and they built exactly what I asked for. Overall I am extremely excited for my brand new fence."

"Ten years ago we had our already large deck expanded and upgraded from wood to composite. Earlier this year we noticed that our deck began to sag, and within weeks it almost collapsed. Marco to the rescue! He was able to show us why the deck collapsed. I was clearly poor workmanship by the previous company. Our deck was beautifully rebuilt using a majority of the existing composite material, thus keeping our costs to a minimum. We plan to use Marco for additional changes to the deck. We would highly recommend him!"

"I caught Donnie when he was doing the neighbors fence and asked him to quote what he would charge for a 12' fence with a 4' gate that would match the neighboring fence. He gave me the bid and said he could do it in tandem with the neighbors fence. I accepted and could not be happier. I expected to have to await my turn in line after previous bids, but they did it at the same time. My family is very happy since we have grandkids and granddogs that will benefit being able to be in the backyard. Oh, and they also cleaned out some old vines and brush that I did not even ask them to do. I only gave 5 stars because you cannot give any more."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

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.

There are more pros than cons when staining a deck. Deck stain is more affordable than paint, it protects the wood and allows the natural textures to shine through, and it can revive the appearance of your home. However, deck stain also requires prep work (sometimes days or more), carries more upkeep than a painted deck, and can fade over time if not cared for. 

What goes under your floating deck depends on your preferences. Some homeowners put landscaping fabric underneath their decks to prevent weeds from popping up through the boards. Others choose to build a floating deck over grass or gravel. However, it’s best not to set your deck directly on the ground. Instead, set your deck on blocks to keep it elevated enough to prevent moisture from rotting the wood.

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.

Unless you’re using a 2-in-1 formula or painting over an existing coat of paint, it pays to apply a coat of primer ahead of your new paint. Decks see a lot of footfall and exposure to extreme and sudden temperature changes and moisture levels. The primer promotes better paint adhesion, moisture repellency, and a smoother finish, which means you’ll often need fewer coats of paint.
