"Outdoor Advantage did an amazing job with all three projects. They were punctual and professional, kept good open communication, advised us on all phases of the projects. The workmen were polite and accommodating. We had one issue with the stairs off the new deck which they promptly rectified. I would highly recommend Outdoor Advantage for any projects you might have similar to the ones they did for us."

"DVR was the best remodel work I have ever had. Did my upstairs, main floor and basement. The work was detailed and precise. Including new fireplace. Outside work included my pier, decks, stairs and paving work. They stand behind all their work as they responded quickly to any concerns I had. Price was by far the best I found. Lastly, they are good people too. That is what I liked the best."

"Initially, things went extremely well and I waited as long as I could before submitting the report in order to give them the opportunity to address an outstanding concern. I chose this provider because of the combination of reputation/price/scheduling. They were able to get the deck finished sooner than the other contractors. In fact, they were able finish before the contract date and we had use of the deck for labor day. However, there is a wobbly post that was brought to Marty's attention on 9/3. Not a major issue, and up to that point he had been very responsive so I didn't think too much about it when I gave him the final payment. He stated it was a 10 min fix and he would be by that next Tuesday to complete it. That week went by without a word so I called him and he promised that it would be complete by the next Wed. Not a word from him, so I sent him an email and he left me a voicemail stating it would be done the next Wed. Again, not a phone call/email, no communication. Essentially, I've had virtually no communication with Home Deck since they've received final payment. Being a sales professional myself, lack of communication is one of the fastest ways to erode customer confidence. This is a "10 min fix" and it's been almost a month. So naturally, there is concern that if there was a major issue with the deck, we'd be on our own. In their defense, they have stated that they stand by their work. We just haven't seen it in practice yet."

"We needed our deck power-washed and stained. The workman called and came the next day. I asked him if he could also power wash the siding. He gave me an estimate for all the work to be done, I agreed (in writing) and he set to work. He did all of the power washing that afternoon. We agreed on a stain color. He returned the next day to do the staining, which required several coats. Mr. McGavin also was there. The deck looks great and the siding is much cleaner. The men were both pleasant and careful about covering the windows and siding. I would use McGavin again."

"My deck is spotless and so is all the furniture. What typically takes me 2 days to do (a whole weekend!) they were able to knock out in around 6 hours. I was so happy I even bought the crew lunch. Highly recommended."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Be careful when choosing a product to help you remove ice from your wood deck. Never use sand, gravel, or salt, since these items can damage and scratch the wood. Instead, look for chemical de-icers that are marked as safe for wood decks or use hot water to melt snow and ice.

Footings for ground-level decks need to be at least 12 inches deep, and some areas require them to be even deeper. A standard range for deck footings is anywhere from 12 to 48 inches. The minimum footing depth is determined by an area’s frost line and soil conditions. If you’re unsure how deep to install deck footings, check local building codes to find the minimum footing depth in your area. 

The cost to repair a deck is between $900 and $3,500, depending on the cause and extent of the damage. For example, fixing a sinking deck caused by pest damage can cost between $200 and $600, while replacing sinking boards costs between $500 and $4,000.

Building codes for deck railings can vary by location, so it's important to consult your local regulations before construction. Generally, a guardrail is required for any deck that is more than 30 inches above the ground.

For residential properties, the standard minimum height for a deck railing is 36 inches. However, some states and municipalities have stricter requirements; for example, California and Washington mandate railings that are at least 42 inches high. Therefore, a 42-inch railing is not considered too high and may be required in your area or chosen voluntarily for additional safety.

In addition to height requirements, codes also specify other safety features, such as the maximum spacing between balusters to ensure they are close enough to prevent a child from squeezing through.

The “best” material is in the eye of the beholder, as each common decking material boasts its pros and cons. Poured concrete is the best budget-friendly option, but composite wood brings high-grade aesthetics without breaking the bank. Wood is the most traditional material, but it requires more maintenance than some other materials. In other words, do your research before settling on a deck material to find the one that’s best for your pool.
