"5-Star Review for Ellis Construction LLC – Outstanding Work and Professionalism! I recently had the pleasure of hiring Ellis Construction LLC, owned and operated by Mr. Patrick Ellis, to complete a much-needed structural repair on my upper deck and tiki bar. I had no prior connection to the company, but after reading numerous positive online reviews highlighting Mr. Ellis’s hands-on approach, 20+ years of experience, and pride in craftsmanship, I decided to give him a call—and I’m incredibly glad I did. The project involved replacing a critical 6x6 support post that had rotted at the base and was causing the deck to lean. As you can imagine, this situation had me seriously concerned about both safety and potential long-term damage. Mr. Ellis understood the urgency and approached the job with confidence, professionalism, and care. From start to finish, Mr. Ellis and his assistant were prompt, courteous, and incredibly knowledgeable. He took the time to cut out the old concrete, inspect and secure the footers, and replace the post properly—restoring both the structural integrity and my peace of mind. The quality of his work and attention to detail was obvious. It’s clear he takes great pride in what he does, and he’s not satisfied until the job is done right. It’s rare these days to find a contractor who is as skilled, honest, and personally involved as Mr. Ellis. His friendly demeanor, clear communication, and deep expertise made the entire process easy and stress-free. As of July 2025, the work has been completed and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. I highly recommend Ellis Construction LLC to anyone in need of deck repairs or general construction services. If you want the job done right by someone who truly cares, look no further than Patrick Ellis."

"We are pleased overall with the composite deck we received. It took a little longer than was initially communicated to begin the project, but once work started they finished in less than a week. Great quality and responsive customer service. I would use this company again in the future."

"What more can I say about Berith Builders that hasn't already been said. Believe the hype!!! Deane, Tony and all of the crew are Awesome!!! I truly feel that they treated my home like it was their own. They were always on time and the job site was always clean. It was a joy to watch and listen to this Father and Son team work together. I can tell they enjoy their work. From the initial meeting with Deane to go over the job, to the job completion, the attention to detail and level of service was top notch. We didn't have to worry about a single thing. Deane took care of all permits and inspections. They went way above and beyond by doing several extras for us like continuing the vinyl flooring from the new addition to the bathroom I was renovating. They also did some drywall finishing and painted the bathroom I was renovating. It's these kind of things that make Berith Builders stand above the rest. We initially had Berith Builders put an addition to our home as well as replace the roof, gutters, windows and siding. Everything went smooth and on schedule. I was so impressed with their work that I hired them again a few months later to finish my kitchen and replace my 12'x20' deck, which also turned out great! I recommend Berith Builders 1000%. Thanks again Deane and Tony for making this whole renovation experience so painless for us"

"Henry and his crew were great and did an excellent job on my deck. They went way beyond what we talked about but didnâ t increase the quote by a penny. My initial project was the wash, and stain my deck and replace a few boards. I ended up with practically a brand new deck. I highly recommend them and will use them again in the future for other projects. Oh, everyone maintained social distancing."

"They havenâ t yet completed my new deck; however, from the start of meeting and discussing with Eddie my deck project, I was impressed. Not only with his professionalism, but also his true interest and kindness making sure he understood all I was requesting-he also offered helpful advice. I would hire them again and have already passed along his info to my family and friends!"

Deck Repair questions, answered by experts

It's okay to walk on a newly painted deck after about four to six hours as long as the weather has been dry. Be sure to wait at least 24 hours before you place any outdoor furniture or grills on a freshly painted deck, though.

Pressure-treated decks last 15 to 20 years on average, but with proper maintenance, you could get 40 to 50 years of value from yours. Reseal your deck every one to two years, and replace old or rotted wood as soon as possible to avoid structural damage. Where you live plays a role in the lifespan of your deck. Intense sunlight, rainfall, wind, and hail can reduce the deck’s lifespan.

Yes, deck footings typically require an inspection before laying down concrete. While not all local building codes require footing inspection, proper placement ensures a safe and structurally sound deck. An inspector will verify that the deck can adequately hold what you put on top of it., and that the footings have been dug to the correct dimensions.

It is definitely worth sanding a deck to ensure the wood absorbs new stain. Sanding a deck removes the outer layers of aging wood, allowing the stain to penetrate. It also gives a fresh look to the entire surface as part of the deck refinishing process. Without sanding, your stain or sealant is less likely to absorb into the wood. While sanding a deck is a time-intensive project, the rewards are noticeable and long-lasting.

The life expectancy of deck boards varies widely based on the material, climate, and maintenance. Untreated wood boards typically last 10 to 30 years with proper care, while pressure-treated boards can last up to 50 years. Hardwoods generally outlast softwoods. Composite boards also tend to last longer than natural wood. Environmental factors like arid or humid climates can shorten a deck's lifespan. To extend the life of wood decking, it's important to consistently clean and seal it to protect against moisture, UV light, and insects.
