"Ben is a hardworking, polite and extremely detailed oriented young man. He arrived when scheduled and worked hard to complete the task. He was cleaned up his work space and left everything straight and neat. We thought there wasnâ  t another year left for the surface of our deck. Ben removed much of the original coating and helped us select a product to repaint/stain the surface, rails, steps, lattice & trim. We would gladly recommend Ben to anyone for this type of project."

"We had our fence replaced and although it took a little longer than expected (reason for 4 1/2 stars) it was a hard project as we had a Captains fence built and we are extremely pleased with it. Rob and Mike are meticulous with their work and we appreciated them being as picky as we are and doing the job right. We can’t say enough about how hard Rob and Mike worked, they are definitely dedicated to doing a good job and didn’t hesitate in listening to what we asked for and wanted. They even had some great suggestions of their own. The fence is beautiful and the talk of our subdivision. Donald is easy going and willing to work with you for your needs and budget. I definitely recommend Quality Home Improvements!"

Deck Maintenance 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.

It's okay to walk on a newly painted deck after about four to six hours as long as the weather has been dry. Be sure to wait at least 24 hours before you place any outdoor furniture or grills on a freshly painted deck, though.

It’s important to make sure the wood on a new deck is properly seasoned. Seasoning a deck is simple: Once you build it (or have a pro do so), just leave it alone so it can acclimate to the environment. If you don’t give the deck proper seasoning time before staining, the stain can lock in any lingering moisture and cause mold, rot, and other moisture issues down the road. Give the wood at least four to eight weeks to season before you stain.

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.

In general, you need a footing at each corner of your deck, and within 8 feet of each other. So, how many you need depends on the size and shape of your deck, plus any local building codes. It also depends on factors like the load capacity of your soil and the weight of your deck. You can find a footing calculator online or contact a pro for support.
