"Excellent! DeckMaster clearly a first class, professional, customer-focused company. Office coordination excellent, Trey very good estimator and all worked well planned and communicated timely. Most of all, Selvin and crew were awesome. The deck is 40 years old and I've had repair/washing/staining done but never at this level. Selvin ensured the repair work was perfect and even fixed a railing support that was loose (found the issue) and didn't charge extra. Selvin & crew then stained 2 months later, and the deck now looks new. I would highly recommend DeckMaster to friends, colleagues and HOA."

"Kurt was easy to reach via email or telephone. Apprised us of his approach to stripping our deck of its horrible paint coating and was upfront of the general cost during his first visit. He did need to be reminded to provide a specific contract upfront. Otherwise, deck restoration work progressed quickly once weather conditions permitted start and Kurt finished the large project within a few days."

"Two level deck needed minor surface rot repair, power washing, and staining. Flores Enterprises LLC quoted and completed the work in the same business week. Attention to detail on staining is excellent. Provided photos of repairs and completed work and kept me informed on any issues which arose. Would definitely hire again."

Customers say: Terrific value

"Vtile did an amazing job replacing the brackets on my deck that were rusty and old. It was a small project but important to me that my deck remained safe for me and my guests. The price was reasonable, they showed up on time, did an excellent job and left the work area spotless! Iâ m a very happy customer!"

"I couldn't be more pleased with the deck repair that Jose and Melvin of JW Home Improvement performed for us. The attention to detail, beautiful joints, use of screws instead of nails, and the particular attention appearance and completeness. The site was left spotless. A special thanks for your dedication to working in such cold weather. Thanks."

"Our experience with Mr. Handyman of South Montgomery County was excellent all around. They have a good answering service and scheduling system and are very good at communicating with the customer. We had a leak in our first floor ceiling with water apparently coming out of the tub in the master bath through the ground and out of the ceiling fan on the floor underneath. We had a similar leak several years ago, which had resulted in us having to renovate the bathroom upstairs (bc the precise source of the leak could not be found) and we feared that it would be as big a job again. Dan Hastings, who is the proprietor of Mr. Handyman of SMC, came out himself to do an insurance estimate for diagnosing the leak and fixing it if the issue was in the pipes or between floors. (Not including possible tilework or major renovations of the bathroom upstairs.) The estimate was quite reasonable and we agreed that Mr. Handyman of SMC would start first by cutting open the ceiling and trying to fix the leak from below. Antonio came to do the work yesterday and he is great. He was on time, respected COVID-19 protocols, works quickly, and is nice and friendly, but most importantly he found the source of the leak and fixed it! When he first cut into the ceiling, he learned that the water wasn't coming from any of the pipes and it appeared to be coming from the wall above. (Our two bathrooms and showers/bathtubs are back to back and share a wall meaning that there is no place to cut into the wet wall without cutting tile.) Before cutting any tile, however, he investigated the area from within the bathrooms and correctly deduced that there was a broken metal/brass fitting behind the tub spout. How he figured that out, I have no idea. But he was able to replace the fitting and address the leak through the spout opening. No more leak and no expensive tile work! Antonio also moved the ceiling fan that was downstairs (which he discovered was incorrectly installed and not anchored in a stud when he removed it to investigate the leak) and installed it in a bedroom upstairs and took down the old ceiling fan in that bedroom. The ceiling fan is working great. Antonio also drywalled the ceiling, not only where he had to cut the hole to investigate the leak, but also because the water had led to a seam line in other parts of the ceiling. We're going to paint the whole house soon, so we didn't ask him to paint, but he was willing to do that as well. The drywall and mud look very flush to the ceiling and he left the ceiling ready for painting. Finally, Antonio gave us some good advice on other electrical matters while he was here, which helped us to address an issue with a light fixture that we had. Overall, this was a great experience and a major relief that we don't have to retile parts or all of our master bath. Thank you, Antonio and Mr. Handyman!"

Deck Repair questions, answered by experts

Footings for ground-level decks need to be at least 12 inches deep, and some areas require them to be even deeper. A standard range for deck footings is anywhere from 12 to 48 inches. The minimum footing depth is determined by an area’s frost line and soil conditions. If you’re unsure how deep to install deck footings, check local building codes to find the minimum footing depth in your area. 

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.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

Applying too much sealer to a deck might seem like extra protection, but it can cause more harm than good. Wood is a porous material with a limited capacity to absorb liquids. When you go overboard with sealer, the excess can't soak in and instead forms a film on the surface. This leftover layer is prone to peeling, cracking, and trapping moisture, ultimately defeating the purpose of sealing in the first place. 

You can add a roof to most decks, but you need to have it inspected first. If your deck didn’t come with a roof initially, it may not be able to handle the weight without some structural changes. You can add additional supports to your existing deck to safely add a roof, and tying your deck’s roof to an exterior wall can help add some structural stability, but remember these aren’t DIY projects and need to be left to a pro.
