"This is the second time True Decks has done repair/maintenance/refurbish work on our deck. The work is consistently done well and is reasonably priced. The techs (Eduardo and Luis) who completed our recent work (4/15/26) were OUTSTANDING. They were professional, courteous and efficient and the final work product exceeded our expectations. WELL DONE...thank you!"

"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."

"It went really well. Luis and his team did a thorough job of my pretty large house, he did the deck, patio, walkway and a couple of extra requests (oops, didn’t think I’d need those).! He even threw in washing of deck chairs and storage box that were moldy from being outside! All in all, he was very reasonable for pricing, and my walkways and patio look bright and ready for summer!"

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!"

"Needed to have my deck stained. They provided a reasonable price. They cleaned and sanded deck. I?m glad they educated me on the oil stain. The oil stain, Ready Seal, looks great. The man who stained the deck did an outstanding job. He was very detailed in ensuring the stain was evenly spread. Great Job Leonpro!"

"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."

"Georgeâ s crew did an excellent job removing and replacing our roof. They showed up when expected on Saturday morning but then the weather took an unexpected turn and it had to be postponed. Back they came, again on time, the next morning. Work was completed very efficiently. They cleaned up afterward, making sure there were no random pieces of shingle around, and cleaned off my front porch and back deck beautifully. They even fixed a piece of siding that came off in the storm for me, no charge. This is not the first time we have hired Plomari. They installed the roof on my daughterâ s house a year or so ago. And they remodeled two of my bathrooms two years ago. Prices are very reasonable. I would absolutely hire them again if another project came up."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Always sand a deck before repainting so the wood is smooth and ready for paint. While you do not need to fully remove paint before repainting, sanding helps remove any areas with weather and sun damage. Sanding also helps remove chipped or flaking paint and opens the wood pores to improve paint adhesion.

Because adding a deck will yield a higher property value, you may have higher insurance costs. It’s important to follow the codes and regulations set by your local and state governments, so your insurance rates can be properly calculated. You may need an insurance revaluation after your deck is completed. The best course of action is to speak with an insurance professional to understand how adding a deck will impact your home’s insurance costs before you begin.

The best direction for a gate to swing depends on its location and purpose, but swinging inward is the general rule. An inward swing is often considered safer, prevents the gate from opening into public spaces like a sidewalk, and may be required by local building codes.

There are exceptions and specific considerations. If your property is on a slope, an inward swing might not be possible. For a deck gate, it's safest to have it swing away from any steps. In a backyard, the direction can be a matter of preference, though an inward swing can be helpful when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

Regardless of direction, ensure the gate can open fully without hitting any objects or blocking spaces. While an inward swing is standard, a gate that can swing both in and out offers the most flexibility if your setup allows for it.

The proper height for a stair riser or deck step is between four and seven inches, with seven inches often considered the most comfortable. Building your stairs to this height ensures a strain-free step position and minimizes the risk of trip and fall injuries. For optimal safety and comfort, especially on deck stairs, a rise of around seven inches should be paired with a tread depth (or run) of at least 10 to 12 inches. While it is possible to design stairs with risers up to 12 inches, this height can be challenging for children, pets, or individuals with mobility issues. Always check with your local building codes, as they may mandate specific dimensions that differ from these general recommendations.

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.
