"Deck Renewal Systems delivered a beautiful, quality deck for our home! We are pleased with the outcome. The team was responsive, helped us to select a great material, was able to leverage existing framing (saved us money) and ensured the new deck was reinforced with updated support posts. They even flexed to accommodate our last minute decision to add a patio with another vendor so that the deck and patio worked together. The team was hard working and a pleasure to work with. Definitely recommend if you're looking to add a beautiful deck to your home!"

"Abe is incredibly efficient in his work. He did an outstanding job building my deck, and got everything done just how I wanted it and described. He inspects his own work as well to make sure it is up to his standards and if he notices something he doesn’t like, he will fix it immediately! He wants you to enjoy the space you have created in your mind and give you the very best of that work. He is a proud, hard worker, that loves what he does. I promise you that if you go with Abe he will give you the most excellent work!"

"Prior to the work, Tyler responded to all phone calls immediately. Upon commencing the work, he was well organized, efficient with his time and was very polite. He was one of the most professional contractors to do work in our home and is a very skill craftsman. Without reservation, I would highly recommend him to family and friends as we were pleased with every aspect of his services."

"I dealt with Tim for the price and project details and then Jeff was the man who came out to do the job. The deck had previously been done by a guy who did not know what he was doing so Jeff power washed the entire deck and let it dry for 24 hours, then he sanded the deck and scrubbed it down with denatured alcohol to help remove any remaining paint from before. When the deck was dry, Jeff taped off everything and proceeded to edge everything before he rolled a nice thick layer of paint on the deck. We waited another 24 hours and Jeff returned to apply a nice second coat of paint on the entire deck. Tim and Jeff are very easy to work with and I will most certainly come back to them for future projects."

"Joe was great to work with, he was on time and kept me informed on all steps of the process. The finished product ( sidewalk and steps) looks amazing and adds so much curb appeal. He takes pride in his work. I would definitely recommend him for concrete work."

"Job was done perfectly. Passed the main test being my wife. She was very pleased. Steve also gave us a quote to attach a gate to our deck which was also done perfectly. Braden did a great job of finishing the work. I would use them again in a heartbeat! Thanks again to Steve and Braden. Quality work. Timely. Cleaned up after. You could tell they care about what they do."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

You can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.

Costs depend on desk size, labor, included features like drawers or motorized height adjustments, and required wall anchoring.

Duration varies by project size, but average-sized homes typically take a weeks.

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.
