"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!"

"Jason did a fantastic job! I hired him to repair my deck and he fixed everything beyond my expectations! I also had him assemble a shed for me. His team was quick and built the shed perfectly. I’m planning on hiring him for some future projects! His prices are also very fair, his quote was accurate, and he clearly explained all the charges."

"Tyler was great to work with. All communications were prompt and courteous. He kept me updated throughout the project. When some unforeseen issues arose he stayed on the job until it was complete rather than rescheduling and delaying completion. Will definitely call Tyler in the future."

"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!"

"If you’re deciding between contractors, stop what you’re doing and hire TriState Complete Home and Repair. It’s a no brainer. Tim and his team bring level of experience and car far above those that’s we’ve worked with trying to remediate our home that was subjected to a fire. Even before hiring, Tim saved us over $20k by giving simple advise. We’ve so far worked with them to repair our ceiling and attic framing. They continued to save by being create and flexible. More importantly, their quality of work and care speaks for itself. This is the first of many repairs they have lined up for us so stay turned as we will report back. You won’t be disappointed working with Tim and his team."

"Joe did a fantastic job replacing & wrapping our porch posts. He put decorative molding on top & bottom of posts exactly how we described it to him. He did the job four days earlier than we expected. It took him about four hours in 95 degree heat without taking any breaks. He was on time, courteous & cleaned up after the work was finished. He charged us exactly what was quoted to us. We thought his estimate was more than fair. Definite 5 stars for his work. We are going to use him for future projects. Craig & Maryann H."

Deck Repair questions, answered by experts

Most building codes require that railing spindles (also known as balusters) on decks or stairs be spaced no more than four inches apart. This safety standard is often called the '4-inch sphere rule,' which means a sphere with a 4-inch diameter should not be able to pass through the opening between balusters. This rule is in place to prevent small children and pets from slipping through the railing. For the same reason, the space between the bottom rail and the deck or floor surface 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 essential to check your local building codes to ensure compliance before starting your project.

Yes, it is possible to add an under-deck drainage system to an existing deck by retrofitting it to the structure. This process may require some prep work. For example, many drainage systems are installed on top of the deck joists, which would require you to remove the decking boards and railings first. To avoid this, you could opt for a below-the-joist drainage system. For best results and to ensure proper installation, it is recommended to consult a professional. A pro can inspect your deck, make any necessary repairs, and then install the drainage system correctly.

Pressure-treated wood contains preservatives that give the material internal protection from rot and pests. Untreated lumber won’t last more than a few years unless you choose a more expensive wood, like cedar, that naturally stands up well to moisture. Composite decking can outlast wood but is more expensive and doesn’t look as natural. Keep in mind that you’ll need to seal any exterior wood product to protect it from the elements and other forms of external damage.

It is possible to build your own deck, but it’s typically better to leave the work to a decking professional. Decks can be exceptionally complicated, especially if you want a wrap-around or second-story deck, and you don’t want to risk making an expensive or dangerous mistake. It’s usually better to hire a decking pro who can pull permits and build a structurally sound deck that will last for decades and provide the maximum return on investment.

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.
