"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."

"Dave came in and talked to us about our options. He had several suggestions as to what he would be able to do. We discussed it and figured out which option we both felt was the best for us. He provided samples and photos to help us with our decision. The contract said all work would be complete by May 1. The entire job was completed the first week in April. Not only was Dave courteous, friendly and very well informed on all aspects of our work, but his entire staff was as well..

They started with our patio. Pavers were installed over our existing concrete which saved some time and money. Everything was regraded to allow water to drain away from the house. The yard was raked and graded. All existing drains were buried and french drains we installed to prevent any future flooding issues. Raised gardens and border was placed along both sides of the yard. We chose the AstroTurf option for the center of the yard which will allow us many maintenance free years of enjoyment.

This company is very knowledgeable, professional and will show you the utmost of respect. They are there when they tell you they will be and complete everything as promised. Communication lines are open and they are certain they are doing everything to your satisfaction. I was amazed at the transformation this made to my yard. I am looking forward to spending as much time as possible enjoying it myself as we'll as with family and friends."

"Thomas and Antonio were very accommodating and efficient with the work they performed on our house. They repainted our front porch, pressure washed the siding and deck, repaired loose panels around the deck, and repaired/painted the railing to the basement. The quality of the work was high and they were able to answer all of our questions along the way. Would definitely hire again."

"Worked with John at Five Star Deck Services on a recent project involving updating my already-in-place deck. From the start, John was thorough in assessing what needed to be done with the deck and was also transparent with pricing. Everybody working on the job was also knowledgeable, capable, timely, and personable. They are an excellent company to work with, and not to mention they do fantastic work. Highly recommend working with Five Star Deck Services if you need a deck or deck repairs."

"George and his team did two projects for me. They power washed my house, deck, porch and driveway and then they painted the exterior of my home. The did a great job on both projects. The team was efficient and courteous. George checked in constantly to make sure the project was going smoothly. There were several spots where the wood needed replacing before painting and this was done perfectly. Near the end of the project, I asked for one correction and George fixed the problem immediately. I will definitely use Plomari General Contractors again for any future projects such as interior painting."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

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.

To prepare a deck for a hot tub, start by thinking about safe and easy access in and out of the tub. Homeowners should plan for steps or consider built-in seating, a level surface around the perimeter, and a clear, slip-resistant path from the house. A hot tub requires sufficient space around it for comfortable entry and exit, ensuring no awkward squeezing or stepping over high edges. Good lighting and handrails can also make a big difference, especially for nighttime use.

Unless you’re using a 2-in-1 formula or painting over an existing coat of paint, it pays to apply a coat of primer ahead of your new paint. Decks see a lot of footfall and exposure to extreme and sudden temperature changes and moisture levels. The primer promotes better paint adhesion, moisture repellency, and a smoother finish, which means you’ll often need fewer coats of paint. 

Yes, designing builds to fit space constraints and meet functional needs.

While experienced DIYers may take on the challenge, hiring a licensed professional is often the best route, especially for larger or elevated structures. A local deck contractor is typically the best pro for the job, as they have specialized experience and are knowledgeable about local building codes, ensuring your deck is built safely and designed to last. Other professionals who can build a deck include general contractors and carpenters, who may be more readily available in some regions.
