"Cosme and his crew work very hard and will work with your schedule. They installed composite decking and railing to an existing deck substructure (footings, frame struts, etc.) that required reinforcement to stabilize the deck. We also requested solar post lighting, which really enhances the nighttime looks of our new deck. They clean up after each day of work and offered valuable information to help us decide what was needed to have the deck that we wanted while staying within our budget. I would recommend DC Carpentry LLC without hesitation, to my friends and family!"

"Jonny and Nick with Hardscape Revival did a great job with my patio and walkway. They washed my patio, re-applied polymeric sand, and sealed my walkway and patio and it looks like a completely brand new outdoor space! I 100% recommend them for any outdoor space maintenance."

"Brennan is incredibly transparent, detail-oriented, and well-informed. He works really, really hard. For clarity: he installed a bulkhead for us, and this service alone was a little hard to for us to find. He gave us 2 options, both with VERY competitive quotes, and even threw in sealing up some basement leaks for free. He stayed true to his estimates. In all, amazing value and a guy that is serious about having a good relationship with the customer. I would say that customers should be patient, because it's basically Brennan and 2-3 younger kids. For us, the bulkhead was supposed to be a 1.5 day job, but it took longer than that because of summer vacations, uncooperative weather (lots of rain this year), and illnesses. Losing one guy on one job cascaded to other jobs. Hopefully his small business can grow to a point where this is less of a problem in the future."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

The best base materials for a ground-level or floating deck are typically gravel and crushed stone (also known as landscaping rocks). These options are inexpensive, provide excellent drainage, prevent weeds, and help minimize moisture buildup, which reduces shifting and rotting. For added stability and to evenly distribute the weight, you can use concrete deck blocks or pavers. While more expensive, concrete blocks and pavers offer a sturdier base than gravel or crushed stone alone.

Deck skirting shouldn’t touch the ground, especially if you have a wood deck, which is vulnerable to moisture. Ideally, you should leave at least 3/4 of an inch of space between the deck skirting and the ground for more ventilation. Pros also recommend that you incorporate about 1 square foot of space for ventilation for the underside of the deck to every 150 square feet of decking. Proper ventilation prevents mold growth and rot that can damage your deck.

The proper and most comfortable height for a deck stair riser, also called a step, is between four and seven inches. A height of seven inches is often considered ideal for a strain-free step that minimizes the risk of trips and falls. While it is possible to have risers up to 12 inches, this height can be challenging for children, pets, or individuals with mobility issues. For optimal safety and comfort, pair a seven-inch riser with a tread depth (or run) of at least 10 to 12 inches. Always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements that differ from these general recommendations.

Decks require several inspections during and after the building process, but the specifics vary depending on where you live. Most areas mandate that decks comply with local building codes and safety regulations for the foundation, framing, and structure. Some pros recommend a footing inspection, which verifies the depth, width, and location of the various footings to ensure they offer enough foundational support.

Most building codes list a minimum width of 36 inches and a maximum height of 7¾ inches. However, for the most comfort and spaciousness, you’ll want to aim for a width of at least 48 inches and a height of 7 inches. Again, it’s always a good idea to base your numbers off steps that you already use comfortably.
