"Outdoor Advantage did an amazing job with all three projects. They were punctual and professional, kept good open communication, advised us on all phases of the projects. The workmen were polite and accommodating. We had one issue with the stairs off the new deck which they promptly rectified. I would highly recommend Outdoor Advantage for any projects you might have similar to the ones they did for us."

"We contacted Home Deck Inc. for an estimate to build a deck off of the back of our house, where there was currently a small concrete landing and stairs. We also needed a small length of railing built for safety reasons (requested by our insurance company), so that no one could fall in to our basement stairwell. We had someone from Home Deck out to estimate the jobs. When I initially called, he could not come out for a couple of days due to scheduling and sounded very concerned about "losing the job" because of timing. I told him it was not a problem and scheduled for a few days later. The morning of the estimate, he called to reschedule for another day. When we finally were able to connect, he seemed knowledgeable and said we would have a written estimate within a couple of days. When we didn't receive that estimate, I contacted him by email, and he emailed it shortly after. The price was on-par with other estimates that we had gotten for the job but was still more than we had hoped to spend. The only thing we *needed* to have done was the safety railing (the deck was just something we wanted to have done), so I emailed back and asked him how much it would be to just do the safety railing. Another company quoted me about $1200.00, so this was not exactly a *small* job. Nevertheless, Home Deck Inc. never responded to my email. So they lost the job."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

A random orbital sander is best for sanding a deck because it is easier to handle than other power sanders and is less likely to damage the wood. Most decks are made of types of softwood, so a gentler sanding process is essential to prevent permanent blemishes. For example, belt sanders can gouge softwoods.

Yes, you can build a pool deck yourself, but it takes precision, a lot of time, and many specific tools. You’ll need to create a deck plan, be careful with measurements, cut each piece of wood, secure the pieces properly, and ensure the deck meets building codes. Building a deck around a pool is a rewarding DIY, but it’s time- and labor-intensive, so thoughtfully consider your abilities and the time you have before embarking on this DIY.

The average cost to professionally clean or pressure wash a deck is around $150, with prices typically ranging from $100 to $600. Several factors influence the final price, including the deck's size, material, condition, and how long it has been since its last cleaning. For a smaller deck of about 300 square feet, you might pay around $100. For a larger deck of 1,000 square feet or more, the cost could be closer to $300 to $400. Decks that are very dirty or haven't been cleaned in years may require more time and special detergents, which will increase the price. The deck's material also plays a role. Wood decks often cost more to clean because they require a gentle power washing technique to avoid damage. Composite decks are typically less expensive to clean, and cleaning a metal deck may cost around $100.

What goes under your floating deck depends on your preferences. Some homeowners put landscaping fabric underneath their decks to prevent weeds from popping up through the boards. Others choose to build a floating deck over grass or gravel. However, it’s best not to set your deck directly on the ground. Instead, set your deck on blocks to keep it elevated enough to prevent moisture from rotting the wood.

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.
