"Alexander and his team are outstanding! They brought my old sad deck back to life and I love it! It totally transformed by back yard. Alexander took the time to work with me on choosing and matching the stain color and that was a process and he was so accommodating and patient. The team worked hard to prepare the deck before staining by installing new handrails, securing planks, sanding, and moving my furniture. He even fixed my gate which was not installed properly. I can not say enough about how beyond thrilled I am with their work, professionalism, and ease of working with them. I am looking forward to working with Alexander on my next project."

"Stan’s quick response to provide an estimate for my deck was greatly appreciated. His price was reasonable for the work and he was able to schedule me within a week. The deck looks great! He even came back to touch up an area. His work crew were excellent and cleaned up perfectly. Stan communicated with me as needed and checked on the progression of the work throughout the day. I would HIGHLY recommend Stan’s Home Improvement!!!"

"Jamie and his guys were great. They were efficient. They built our deck stairs, added a gate and replaced the decking. It looks great and is also stable. He even added material underneath so the rain water goes away from our house. From our experience, Jamie seems experienced, knowledgeable and was easy to work with. We highly recommend him for your next project."

"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."

"The crew that replaced the deck was prompt and did a high quality job. They evidently though did not speak fluent English. The project manager and office manager of Deck Soldier answered all of my questions, but could have done a better job communicating on their own initiative what the crew was planning to do the next day when they left for the day while the job was in progress. All in all, though, we're very pleased with the new deck and I would Deck Soldier an A grade for the job. It was expensive, but you get what you pay for and I would recommend them"

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."

"We were looking into redoing our old deck and got a quote which we thought was reasonable for our large deck. Then for another estimate, we called 7th State Builders. They explained that for the same cost, we could get a paver stone patio (which in the long run is far less maintenance). The owner worked with our budget and the gentlemen who laid our pavers were extremely professional and worked within our wishes. They removed the deck and finished the patio in about a week. Awesome job! After a week or so, it had rain for a period of time and we noticed that a small dip in the patio was collecting a puddle. After a call, they came out and fixed the problem. We would definitely recommend this company for a patio."

"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."

Deck Maintenance FAQs, answered by experts

A ground-level deck is a great idea for an outdoor space because it’s easy to access and doesn't require stairs or railings. You can install a ground-level deck near your home or farther away on your property. You can place a ground-level deck around a pool, fire pit, or near a view such as a lake, pond, or area of trees.

In the majority of cases, you don’t need regulatory permission or permits to remove decking components and materials. However, the exception is if you live in or near a wildlife conservation area, which could require permits and consent prior to beginning the demolition. Check with a local regulatory agency for more information.

The best time to paint your deck is when temperatures are neither too cold (below 60 degrees) nor too hot (above 85 degrees). Always paint your deck when there’s no risk of rain. For fast-drying paint like acrylic or latex, ensure your deck can dry for at least four hours. Oil-based paints take longer to dry and may require 48 hours to completely cure.

Materials for a second-story deck must be weather- and rot-resistant, though the specific choices will largely be determined by your budget and style preference. Pressure-treated wood is on the lower end of the price scale, but it can be customized and stained the way you like it. Composite, on the other hand, is pricier for installation and has fewer options for customization, but you’ll save money and time in the long run because it requires little maintenance.

Cutting the boards directly is one of the fastest ways to remove deck boards with hidden fasteners. Mark two parallel lines that are one-third of the total measurement on both ends and cut out the centerpiece. Then, remove the end of the board that doesn’t have a fastener. Finally, pry open the fastened side and pull it up to pop out the screw or access the fastener. This also allows you to salvage portions of boards for other projects.
