"Clear communications in arranging service, as well as confirming the work to be done and prior to day of arrival. Technician Dennis Jennings was outstanding: reviewed the work to be done, promptly completed the work within the specified time including an additional task, and cleaned up. Communications with the office were responded to quickly and highly professionally. Highly recommend."

"The concrete patio was laid expertly in my backyard. I contractor stayed to make sure the concrete set properly. The carpentry work was very well done. I now feel comfortable walking and sitting on my deck. I am having additional work done that is not yet complete.. ."

"If anyone is in need of any type of deck work I highly recommend Mr. Frank Oliva and his Deck Solutions Team at 301-792-1117. They recently restored my deck expertly and was very pleased with every aspect of their work, (reviewing products, installation, pricing and warranty). They were extremely courteous, responsive, punctual and professional!"

"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."

"All this in a matter of a few shorts weeks, not months. 
Then when everything was said and done and Deck Cetera had already been paid all of their money the front door was damaged and they came out in record time and repair it. 
I would recommend Deck Cetera to anyone and everyone.  In fact we did on Memorial Day, anyone who wanted to know we told them.  That?s Deck Cetera you all.  Thanks Deck Cetera for making a big project pain free for us.  You rock!!!

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

A wood deck requires annual cleaning and regular inspections for loose or broken boards, nails, and screws. It should be refinished by applying a stain or sealer every two to three years to protect the wood from water damage, rot, mildew, and sun fading. The exact frequency can depend on the climate and the deck's exposure to sun and moisture. If your deck is painted, it will need repainting approximately every 10 years. Signs that your deck needs refinishing include faded, splintering, or warping boards.

While you can use various materials like sand or even just soil, gravel is widely considered the best option to put under a deck. It provides excellent drainage and is resistant to water, fire, and pests. Gravel also helps anchor the soil to prevent erosion during heavy rain and acts as a built-in weed blocker, reducing regular upkeep. Furthermore, it is simple to spread, available in various textures and tones, and adds a polished look that complements any deck design.

Your deck may pop, and your neighbor’s deck may not for a number of reasons. Whether or not a deck pops will depend on how it was made, the conditions it’s exposed to, and the materials. Improper spacing is a common reason for increased pressure between deck boards. Moisture penetration is another.

Yes, it’s definitely possible to build a pergola on an existing deck. All you need to do is attach the pergola support beams to the deck’s joists and build up from there. Beware that mistakes can damage your deck, so if you’re at all unsure of the process, play it safe and hire a pro for your custom build.

There are more pros than cons when staining a deck. Deck stain is more affordable than paint, it protects the wood and allows the natural textures to shine through, and it can revive the appearance of your home. However, deck stain also requires prep work (sometimes days or more), carries more upkeep than a painted deck, and can fade over time if not cared for.
