"Ben also painted my deck. He was meticulous in protecting surrounding structures from any damage or overspray. He was efficient, well organized, and personable. He cleaned up when the job was completed and removed the trash. My deck has been in place for many years and looked terrible. When Ben completed the work the deck took on new life. I am very happy with his work and would use him again."

"We hired Mr. Jimmy Strunk to assemble our daughter's Backyard Discovery wooden swing set. He was very kind and responsive, and he completed the assembly safely and in a timely manner. Our toddler now has a sturdy swing set of her own! I definitely recommend Cornerstone Property Maintenance for your home projects!"

"Cory and Eli arrived at my home at the exact time they had given me. I had several small repairs needed on my deck. A piece of my gutters had blown off and other parts were loose due to high winds. I also needed to switch out a motion light. They fixed both quickly and then checked the rest of my gutters to make sure they were stable. They were both personable, polite, and professional. I would highly recommend them and more importantly, I will call them again wirh any future project I may have."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Before installing any materials under the deck for removing moisture, you should perform some prep work on the ground. Work the dirt under the deck to create a grade away from the home. A grade of at least six inches for every 10 feet works well. Do not leave a gap between the dirt and the home’s foundation where water could pool. Once you or a contractor regrades the dirt under the deck, you then can add materials over the top.

It is definitely worth sanding a deck to ensure the wood absorbs new stain. Sanding a deck removes the outer layers of aging wood, allowing the stain to penetrate. It also gives a fresh look to the entire surface as part of the deck refinishing process. Without sanding, your stain or sealant is less likely to absorb into the wood. While sanding a deck is a time-intensive project, the rewards are noticeable and long-lasting.

Decks require several inspections during and after the building process, but the specifics vary depending on where you live. Most areas mandate that decks comply with local building codes and safety regulations for the foundation, framing, and structure. Some pros recommend a footing inspection, which verifies the depth, width, and location of the various footings to ensure they offer enough foundational support.

Two coats of stain are ideal for the best protection and aesthetic appeal. However, if your decking is made of particularly dense hardwood, you may only need one coat. If you want an intense color, two coats are ideal.

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.
