"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

Staining and sealing the underside of a deck creates a moisture barrier but traps water in the boards, quickly leading to rot. No matter how well you seal the above deck, water still gets through via nails and screw heads on the surface. Allow this water to flow naturally under the deck, where it is routed through the drainage system.

Typically, most residential wooden decks are designed to support approximately 40 pounds per square foot, including the deck’s weight and any items placed on it. While this is fine for typical use, it is usually not enough to hold the weight of a hot tub filled with water and people. To safely support a hot tub, your wood deck will likely require reinforcement. Therefore, it’s best to have a contractor or a structural engineer assess it before hot tub installation.

Most building codes require that spindles or balusters on deck and stair railings be spaced no more than four inches apart. This safety standard, often called the '4-inch sphere rule,' is designed to prevent small children or pets from slipping through the railing. A good way to visualize this is that a 4-inch sphere should not be able to pass between two spindles. For the same safety reason, the space between the bottom rail and the deck floor 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 crucial to check your local building codes to ensure compliance before starting your project.

Building a deck is often worth the investment, not only because it provides more utility to your yard and gives you more space to entertain but also because decks tend to add value to your home. Keep in mind that second-story decks often require concrete footings, which means they will bump up your property taxes, while decks built on the first story generally don’t require a permanent foundation and won’t affect your taxes. Even with the tax increase, decks are usually a good investment in the long run.

No, your deck will not rot under artificial grass as long as it is installed properly. When installed correctly, the artificial grass features a drainage system that prevents rotting. Simply laying artificial grass on top of the decking without proper installation will not lead to an effective drainage system that prevents rotting.
