"Rick is a Master Craftsman and artist. He built me a 740 sq ft deck, to replace an aging smaller deck. His eye for detail is impeccable. I described a picture in my head and he built it. I will enjoy the deck and remember the time he took to make sure EVERYTHING was right, He provided a detailed quote so I could see where my money was going. Worth every cent !"

"Cody and his crew of three built a beautiful new deck for me! Canâ t stop looking at the new deck which replaced the one built in 1995. Cody updated the deck to code put railing all around even on the steps. Itâ s just beyond my expectations. The new deck looks fancy compared to the old one. I would definitely recommend Cody and his boys for a quality deck I can now enjoy using again!!!! Hats off to Cody and the boys.. quality workâ ¦ canâ t ask for more"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Whether you need a permit depends on the deck design and local regulations. Most areas mandate a building permit if the deck is over a specific height or if it's attached to a pre-existing structure. Shorter, freestanding decks may not require a permit, but you should check with local zoning ordinances and your homeowners association for specifics.

You typically don’t need a railing and handrails on a deck that’s less than 30 inches from the ground. However, consider adding them regardless. Railings provide additional safety for you and your guests who use your deck—plus, railings give the deck a more finished look than it would have without them.

Yes, you can build a deck around a fire pit, as long as it is safely enclosed, meets code requirements, and is at least 15 feet away from your home. You’ll want to ensure you have a heat-resistant barrier between the fire pit and your deck to prevent any structural damage and fires. A galvanized ring surrounded by pavers, brick, or stone makes for a beautiful, safe, and sturdy design.

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.

To flatten a cupped deck board, start by ensuring it’s dry. Then, try flipping the board over so the cupped side faces down and reattach it. If that’s not possible, you can use screws to pull it tighter to the joists or plane the edges slightly to reduce the cup. It’s best to replace severely cupped boards.
