"Excellent! DeckMaster clearly a first class, professional, customer-focused company. Office coordination excellent, Trey very good estimator and all worked well planned and communicated timely. Most of all, Selvin and crew were awesome. The deck is 40 years old and I've had repair/washing/staining done but never at this level. Selvin ensured the repair work was perfect and even fixed a railing support that was loose (found the issue) and didn't charge extra. Selvin & crew then stained 2 months later, and the deck now looks new. I would highly recommend DeckMaster to friends, colleagues and HOA."

"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."

"Two level deck needed minor surface rot repair, power washing, and staining. Flores Enterprises LLC quoted and completed the work in the same business week. Attention to detail on staining is excellent. Provided photos of repairs and completed work and kept me informed on any issues which arose. Would definitely hire again."

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!"

"I couldn't be more pleased with the deck repair that Jose and Melvin of JW Home Improvement performed for us. The attention to detail, beautiful joints, use of screws instead of nails, and the particular attention appearance and completeness. The site was left spotless. A special thanks for your dedication to working in such cold weather. Thanks."

"Chevy Chase Exteriors was my first experience with major home renovations and repairs and I am probably now spoiled. They are extremely responsive, kind, and flexible on timing (which was super important for me with a variable work schedule and two small children who were home sick a lot). As someone new to home work I had a lot of questions and they walked me through everything, helping me understand what should be a priority vs a nice to have. As my project grew and changed in different ways based on what I decided to do they took it all in stride, working with me and my schedule to accommodate all the things I wanted done. The other thing I would like to share about them is that I have an older house built in the 1920s. They were very knowledgeable about old house issues and quirks. I would definitely recommend them particularly if you need work done on a house in this area where there are many historic and older properties."

"Freddy is amazing! He is professional and trustworthy. I would say "Handyman" does not begin to cover what he does. He is an expert in all types of work, from repairs on a majorly damaged roof, to meticulous painting jobs, to appliance installations. I have hired Freddy many times for various properties and have him on speed dial - I wouldn't trust anyone else!"

Deck Repair questions, answered by experts

When installing deck boards, screws are generally a better option than nails. Screws offer superior holding strength over time, keeping the boards securely in place. In contrast, nails are more likely to pop out, which can create a tripping hazard. While you can use either, we recommend using 3-inch galvanized deck screws. To minimize the risk of cracking the wood, it's a good practice to drill small pilot holes before driving the screws into the deck joists.

Typically, most residential wooden decks are designed to support approximately 40 pounds per square foot, including the deck’s weight and any items placed on it. While this is fine for typical use, it is usually not enough to hold the weight of a hot tub filled with water and people. To safely support a hot tub, your wood deck will likely require reinforcement. Therefore, it’s best to have a contractor or a structural engineer assess it before hot tub installation.

The cost to build a deck around a pool typically ranges from $3,000 to $12,000, depending on the size, material, and whether you tackle the build yourself. Most people pay an average of $5,000 for their pool deck project. Hiring a pro to build a pool will cost you more for labor, but it will be worth it to ensure a safe and secure installation.

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.

There are more pros than cons when staining a deck. Deck stain is more affordable than paint, it protects the wood and allows the natural textures to shine through, and it can revive the appearance of your home. However, deck stain also requires prep work (sometimes days or more), carries more upkeep than a painted deck, and can fade over time if not cared for.
