"Dennys redid the concrete footings of my deck. He and his crew came out quickly, and finished the job in 2 days. I am very happy with the results. They also did a good job cleaning up the job site. I highly recommend DC Carpenter."

"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"

"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."

"A very friendly and efficient company. Brad (the owner) was on the job every day making sure everything was going smoothly and answering any questions. Absolutely no surprises, all work was done as promised and on time. Carpentry issues were discussed with us and resolved quickly. After painting was completed in early June we had the carpenters back to rebuild our deck and were again extremely happy with the results. I would highly recommend this company and have already."

Deck Repair questions, answered by experts

A deck that isn’t attached to a house is called a floating or freestanding deck. These standalone decks are built near ground level, so they usually don’t need deck stairs. Some don’t even require permits. Generally speaking, building a floating deck is faster and more DIY-friendly than constructing one that’s connected to your home.

Ultimately, overapplication of stain can compromise the deck's appearance, durability, and longevity. It may result in an uneven finish, with excess stain pooling, dripping, or drying into thick patches. It can also obscure the wood's natural grain and texture, detracting from the desired aesthetic. Moreover, excessive staining may not fully penetrate the wood, leading to poor adhesion and premature wear. Additionally, thick layers of stain are prone to peeling, cracking, and blistering as they struggle to bond with the surface. 

Both deck footings and deck posts help prop up your deck. However, footings are the bottommost parts of a deck that touch the ground. They’re usually made of concrete. Posts are pieces of wood that attach to the top of the footings with brackets. They run upwards and connect to the underside of your deck to support its weight.

Composite decking is the best material for individuals living with disabilities who want to age in place. The material is anti-slip, which increases safety throughout the year. It’s also highly durable and requires minimal maintenance, so it doesn’t add another item to the individual’s to-do list. It’s also a good option for improving wheelchair accessibility at home, as it can easily manage a wheelchair ramp.

You can build an outdoor kitchen on a deck, but you should choose composite decking since it's more heat-resistant. Metal deck materials like steel and aluminum are also good choices because they're less flammable than wood. You should also consider the weight of the kitchen—make sure your deck can support it and any appliances you plan to use. You should consult a structural engineer to confirm exactly how much weight your deck can safely support when building an outdoor kitchen.
