"RICARDO IS AMAZING. AMAZING IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT. He did the paint for the inside of our house and everyone that has been in our house says it looks brand new!!! I can’t recommend this guy enough!!! He is very honest and straightforward. We are first time homebuyers and not at all handy in terms of maintenance but Ricardo helped us with our interior painting, broken door, deck, and so many other little things!!! I had a bunch of quotes from other painters but went with Ricardo because he was so honest what will look good for our house. Very responsive and friendly!! Very trustworthy!! Thanks, Ricardo!!! You helped us so much!"

"Brennan and team did an amazing job constructing our new pool deck and repairing the existing decks. They were very professional and always communicated when they would be onsite. They did great work installing cable railing which modernized the whole look of the deck. We are very happy with the results and would hire B. Lagrassa Construction again!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.

The best and fastest way to remove paint from a deck often involves combining a chemical stripper with a pressure washer. Gel-based paint strippers are highly recommended because their thick consistency makes them less messy and easier to apply than liquid strippers. After applying the stripper to loosen the paint, you can use a pressure washer to efficiently wash away the residue. When using a pressure washer for this task, it's important to use a low pressure (under 1000 PSI) to avoid forcing too much moisture into the wood, which could lead to mildew or rot.

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.

Yes. Freestanding or floating decks are exactly what the name implies—structures with their own support beams. You can build a deck yourself and place it next to a house for the illusion of a connected deck without the hassle. Or you can construct it in a separate part of your yard for a dedicated outdoor entertainment space. For the purpose of removing a freestanding deck, the steps are the same as an attached deck, but you don’t have to cut the deck away from the home.

Building codes for deck railings can vary by location, so it's important to consult your local regulations before construction. Generally, a guardrail is required for any deck that is more than 30 inches above the ground.

For residential properties, the standard minimum height for a deck railing is 36 inches. However, some states and municipalities have stricter requirements; for example, California and Washington mandate railings that are at least 42 inches high. Therefore, a 42-inch railing is not considered too high and may be required in your area or chosen voluntarily for additional safety.

In addition to height requirements, codes also specify other safety features, such as the maximum spacing between balusters to ensure they are close enough to prevent a child from squeezing through.
