"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

Whether to paint or stain a deck depends on your personal preference for appearance and budget. Stain provides a natural look with a range of undertones, is typically less expensive, and may only require one coat, but it does not last as long as paint. Paint offers a sleeker finish with a virtually unlimited color palette. Both options will protect your deck from outdoor elements like rain, snow, and general wear and tear.

It’s best to prime composite decking before painting. This promotes better paint adhesion, helps create a smooth finish, and can mean the paint job will last longer. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application, allow ample primer drying time before painting (typically 24 to 48 hours), and thoroughly clean the deck boards to promote the best adhesion.

Yes, you can draw your own deck plans in many cases. However, you must know your local building codes and be familiar with carpentry principles. Even then, it's always best to run your plans by a professional contractor with experience building decks, whether you choose to DIY some of the build or not.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

Composite decking requires a solid foundation, substructure, or subframe to ensure stability. This base is typically composed of posts, beams, joists, and footings. The frame's joists can be built from various materials like composite, plastic, timber, or metal, as long as the base can support the deck's weight without shifting. A professional deck builder might recommend installing the frame on a solid concrete base for added durability. The final design and materials for the substructure will depend on your budget, the type of deck, and environmental conditions.
