"Sonny built two different decks for us at two different houses the last couple of decades. For both projects, he was exceptional! Great attention to detail, punctual, fantastic communication skills and a great sense of humor. I would recommend Sonny to anyone looking for a new deck, deck repair, or other projects."

"Brandon is by far the best contractor I have ever hired(and I have owned over 10 properties). Initially he did a second floor remodel for me, which included moving walls and remodeling bathrooms. the next project was a full kitchen remodel, plus building of a deck. Arrives on time, does what he says he will do when he says he will do it, the entire team is prompt, hard working and extremely knowledgeable. You really need to hire this company, you will not be sorr."

"Dan and crew gave me a price to repair my 36 foot deck that fell off my house due to big ice block coming from roof. Dans price was considerably less than the 2 fancy high priced guys. No lack in quality. Dan found my deck collapsed because it was not flashed and nails were used instead of lag bolts. My deck looks better than before and much safer"

Deck Repair questions, answered by experts

Decks require several inspections during and after the building process, but the specifics vary depending on where you live. Most areas mandate that decks comply with local building codes and safety regulations for the foundation, framing, and structure. Some pros recommend a footing inspection, which verifies the depth, width, and location of the various footings to ensure they offer enough foundational support.

Deck stairs should have at least three stringers rather than two. The recommended minimum width for stairs is 36 inches, and the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors recommends at least three cut stringers to provide sufficient support on wood decking stairs of this width. Generally, stringers should be a maximum of 16 inches apart for wood decking and 12 inches apart for more flexible composite decking.

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.

The best and fastest way to remove paint from a deck often involves combining a chemical stripper with a pressure washer. Gel-based paint strippers are highly recommended because their thick consistency makes them less messy and easier to apply than liquid strippers. After applying the stripper to loosen the paint, you can use a pressure washer to efficiently wash away the residue. When using a pressure washer for this task, it's important to use a low pressure (under 1000 PSI) to avoid forcing too much moisture into the wood, which could lead to mildew or rot.

Pressure-treated wood contains preservatives that give the material internal protection from rot and pests. Untreated lumber won’t last more than a few years unless you choose a more expensive wood, like cedar, that naturally stands up well to moisture. Composite decking can outlast wood but is more expensive and doesn’t look as natural. Keep in mind that you’ll need to seal any exterior wood product to protect it from the elements and other forms of external damage.
