"We had a very positive experience working with Five Star Deck Services. From the initial consultation to the final walkthrough of the finished work, their team was professional, transparent with pricing, and incredibly thorough. They inspected, recommended replacement boards, cleaned the entire deck (even the spaces between the boards), sanded and then stained the deck in “ rustic oak” which blended in perfectly. They were meticulous in paying close attention to every detail—from structural repairs down to the final staining. The crew was timely, personable, and left the worksite spotless. If you need deck repairs and/or restoration, you need not look any further than this company. They take pride in their work. I will be using them from now on. I highly recommend them!"

"The contractor did a great job. He and his crew were respectful and efficient. The only problem that I had was with the bidding process. I accepted his bid of $1,500, but when he arrived, the contract that he wanted me to sign was for $2,000. I did not have a problem with the $2,000 price. That was what I fe;t that job should have been priced from the beginning. My problem was with proces. I like him and wished he had been upfront."

"They cleaned all walls, decks, gutters and also fixed a couple areas of siding on my house and installed gutter guards on my barn plus a few extra items and never asked for a dime more on the original very fair price. Everything looks great, they were very respectful and professional and I would recommend them to all 😊"

Deck Maintenance FAQs, answered by experts

Pressure-treated decking may be worth it if you want a natural, insect- and rot-resistant decking material that will last for decades with proper maintenance. As such, it’s a much better option than untreated pine. Alternative wood decking materials like cedar and redwood tend to be less durable and more expensive. Some homeowners prefer composite decking, which is a low-maintenance alternative to wood but is also more costly.

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.

It’s important to make sure the wood on a new deck is properly seasoned. Seasoning a deck is simple: Once you build it (or have a pro do so), just leave it alone so it can acclimate to the environment. If you don’t give the deck proper seasoning time before staining, the stain can lock in any lingering moisture and cause mold, rot, and other moisture issues down the road. Give the wood at least four to eight weeks to season before you stain.

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.

The problems with composite decking include a high rate of expansion and contraction from temperature swings. This characteristic can cause boards to split, delaminate, or peel. In addition, significant movement can cause shrinking, warping, twisting, and bending. For this reason, you should minimize moisture and ensure proper airflow below your deck.
