"Len contacted me the same day that I requested a quote for a new fence and powerwashing. Within a week or so the new fence was installed and the house was powerwashed and all looked great. He even replaced several boards on the deck for no additional cost. I am very happy with the work that was done and would highly recommend this company to anyone who needs a fence or deck, and already have."

"We needed a home exterior painted along with soffit/facial amd shingle repairs done. They found a color that closely matched what we wanted, pressure washed the entire house (hadn't been painted for decades), performed the repairs and did the painting within our time frame. They did excellent work, left no mess amd provided updates regarding progress. We subsequently hired them to rebuild the front steps of the same house . Again, excellent work. I highly recommend them."

"I had Ralph build a 10X12 ground deck as a base for a gazebo. I like the idea that he does all his own work and is very detail oriented. He also offered suggestions on what steps I should take to prolong the life of my newly created deck. He is straight forward and easy to talk to. I will definitely use Ralph again as needed. Great job! Thanks Ralph"

Deck Repair questions, answered by experts

Most building codes require that railing spindles (also known as balusters) on decks or stairs be spaced no more than four inches apart. This safety standard is often called the '4-inch sphere rule,' which means a sphere with a 4-inch diameter should not be able to pass through the opening between balusters. This rule is in place to prevent small children and pets from slipping through the railing. For the same reason, the space between the bottom rail and the deck or floor surface should also be no more than four inches. As a general guideline, professionals often install three balusters per foot of railing. However, since specific requirements can vary by location, it is essential to check your local building codes to ensure compliance before starting your project.

Any wood deck provides some ventilation to the area below, as is the nature of that type of deck design. However, areas that experience excessive humidity and associated moisture benefit greatly from a dedicated ventilation system in the form of strip vents. This addition helps the various wood boards contract and expand evenly throughout the years and reduces the chances of twisting, warping, and buckling.

It is possible to build your own deck, but it’s typically better to leave the work to a decking professional. Decks can be exceptionally complicated, especially if you want a wrap-around or second-story deck, and you don’t want to risk making an expensive or dangerous mistake. It’s usually better to hire a decking pro who can pull permits and build a structurally sound deck that will last for decades and provide the maximum return on investment.

Many composite decking manufacturers, including the popular Trex brand, offer warranties that protect against warping under specific conditions. These warranties typically last between 20 and 50 years, but they usually exclude claims related to improper installation of the product. Some manufacturer warranties only cover decks built by certified professionals.

That depends on the condition of your deck. An older deck that looks drab, worn, or has multiple damaged boards might be worth replacing before selling. However, if your deck is in good condition, you can simply clean, repaint, or stain it.
