"The work performed was outstanding. Cornerstone Hydro Wash was professional, knowledgeable & clearly experienced. I was looking for more expertise than a lawn company that had a pressure washer. Pressure washing, among other things, IS their business, and they had the equipment, chemicals, knowledge & a truckload of commercial equipment to get the job done right. Not only did I get my deck & my whole house washed, but Brian amazingly transformed my driveway, sidewalk & porch. They are reasonably priced - worth every dollar. I highly recommend them..."

"The service was provided on the scheduled dates. The work was completed thoroughly; the house and porch look great! All items on the porch and deck were removed and replaced after the work was complete. We would definitely use this company again!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

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.

Decks require several inspections during and after the building process, but the specifics vary depending on where you live. Most areas mandate that decks comply with local building codes and safety regulations for the foundation, framing, and structure. Some pros recommend a footing inspection, which verifies the depth, width, and location of the various footings to ensure they offer enough foundational support.

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.

Rotting wood, loose railings, or unstable stairs may indicate a need for expertise.

A deck that isn’t attached to a house is called a floating or freestanding deck. These standalone decks are built near ground level, so they usually don’t need deck stairs. Some don’t even require permits. Generally speaking, building a floating deck is faster and more DIY-friendly than constructing one that’s connected to your home.
