"The quality of the work was excellent. They cleaned up the work area every day after they worked and we are very pleased with the deck post replacement and trim board wrapping of the posts. Highly recommend and would employ them again if needed."

"We had our deck rebuilt by CRC builders and are very pleased with the new deck. Ted and his crew went above and beyond our expectations. From the initial start of the deck project, Ted was instrumental to seeing the final result, a beautiful well built deck that will last the test of time. His calm demeanor and expert advice and suggestions throughout the project made it easy to work with CRC builders. The detailed work that both crew members did was professional, they paid attention to detail and their precision craftsmanship was evident. They showed up and cleaned up every day until the project was completed. We highly recommend Ted, his craftsman and CRC builders for any construction project. thank you again, Robert & Sheri Boroda"

"The job to fix our deck was a very difficult challenge. There was a very tight space under the deck to shore up the decaying joice holding some floor boards. David & partner crawled under and placed a pressure treated joice against the non treated joice & nailed all of the floor boards to the new joice. He also placed perfectly colored tops over the new nails making them virtually invisable. I am very pleased with the solution and results. Especially given the very tight space they had to work in. I definately recommend All Season Construction. David & his partner were efficient friendly and easy to work with!!!! Gerry"

"Bob Pino did an excellent job on multiple handyman tasks in my home. He responded quickly, was very knowledgeable, thorough, professional and skilled in the work done. He completed smaller tasks and efficiently repaired an entryway ceiling, with a second person assisting to get it done quickly. His workmanship was skilled and he did a great job with numerous small repairs, installed an under cabinet TV and patiently explained pros and cons of different repair options. I recommend him highly."

"The Marcelo oversaw the entire project and worked with his team to ensure the best quality. We reviewed the whole project beforehand and agreed on all details. Then he gave us a proposed price which he achieved on time, exactly on the agreed price. The repair include some complex carpentry repair, much high-ladder work and detail painting. Everything was done perfectly.. Our final "punch-list" had only two small items which they took care of immediately. I strongly recommend PR Painting"

Deck Repair FAQs, answered by experts

Before installing a deck, you must build a base for the deck to rest upon, often made of compacted soil or gravel. While gravel is an optional material, it helps with drainage. Some contractors also recommend installing a weed control membrane, which helps provide a solid foundation for the frame. In the case of an elevated deck, a pro will often lay down a concrete slab as a foundation. 

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.

How long it takes to install composite decking depends on the size of the decking material, the skills of the person installing the deck, the number of people helping, and how much prep work needs to be done before you can begin. Generally speaking, it takes anywhere from a few days to several weeks to build a composite deck.

Rotting wood, loose railings, or unstable stairs may indicate a need for expertise.

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.
