"We received excellent planning advice from the owner, John, on selecting the color and type of stain and on what work was necessary to blend recent deck repairs with the existing 15 year-old deck. His estimate was detailed and easy to understand and his price was fair. Both John and the installer, Nate, were good communicators and delivered on the results predicted. Nate’s carpentry and his skill at applying several types and colors of stain was noteworthy. He showed pride in his work and was very responsive to our requests for small modifications as the work took shape. Five Star delivered results that exceeded our expectations and we will certainly go to them again when ready to do more deck upgrading."

"Antonio did an amazing job with adding stairs to our deck! Thorough and meticulous, always punctual, great communication, and answered all our questions. Perfect job! Gary was extremely helpful with the cleanup, removing excess materials, moving soil to different parts of the yard, and making sure the backyard was back in order. Really appreciate everyone's hard work and highly recommend!"

Customers say: True professional

"Exceptional work! I hired FAMB Construction, LLC after interviewing quite a contractors (large and small companies) to replace my wood deck with Trex composite decking. Noel and Claudia are extremely professional from start to finish of the project and clearly communicated in detail what work was going to be done. Noel provided a variety of actual samples choose from and provided helpful details on how the project would be completed. My deck looks amazing and Noel even corrected some deck issues that were not within the scope of the project. I would highly recommend FAMB Construction for their high level craftmanship, professionalism, timeliness, and cost efficiency in completing my project. Truly a Five Star ***** contractor, no exaggeration."

"Henry and his professional work team do an outstanding job. They are on time, clean up and are extremely professional. Henry visits to make sure the job is done to the client's satisfaction before the job is completed and while his team is still on the job. This particular job was to paint the outside areas requiring fresh paint, caulk all the outside widows and other areas requiring caulk, power wash the back deck and repair deck lattice. I have used Apex before and will use them again. I highly recommend them."

Deck Maintenance FAQs, answered by experts

The best way to clean your decking is to clear debris from the gaps between the boards, sweep the surface, rinse it, apply cleaner, rinse again, and let it dry fully. A homemade deck cleaner made of two gallons of warm water and 1/2 cup vinegar is a simple cleaning solution for both wood and composite decking. You can sprinkle baking soda on any spots with mold or mildew, then scrub the area and rinse clean. 

Composite decking might cost more upfront, but it delivers value in terms of durability. Unlike wood, composite material resists common deck problems such as rotting, fading, warping, and all the other things you don’t want a deck to do. The extra processes lead to a higher price tag, but you’ll save big in maintenance costs down the road.

As with patios, there are many types of deck choices to choose from to add personalization to your home. Some common deck options include:

  • Attached decks are anchored to the home and include simple ground-level options or multi-level structures with stairways and separate landings. 

  • Detached island decks are not attached to the home; they’re a freestanding structure in the yard. 

  • Wraparound decks connect the back of the house with at least one other side and often are built with railings for safety. 

  • Multi-level decks connect your deck through varying levels of elevation, featuring landings that are attached to stairs.

You can use a few different tactics to prevent your deck gate from sagging. Aside from using strong, rot-resistant woods, introducing a diagonal element—such as a tension rod or solid piece of wood to act as a brace—across the gate will offer better support. You can also use rigid joists to prevent the gate from sagging.

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.
