"Job was done when scheduled. Had to have a large covered deck leveled. The foreman Ron was excellent. Originally scheduled for 1-1/2 days got it all done by finishing after 5:30 p.m in one day. Sean Gleason came by while the job was being done to check on things and made recommendations to make sure everything was perfect and oversaw what was happening. He came back again the next day and checked the work one last time to make sure the job was completed and I was satisfied. Said that in the spring after any other movement of the deck to check and make sure it was level. Had a level on the deck while doing the job to make sure it was completely level. Doors and windows all open and close easily now. Job well done!"

"Andy did an excellent job of cleaning 20 years of bottom paint off the bottom of my 21 foot fiberglass boat. Paint was removed to the boot stripe and there was no damage to the glass. The work was completed in my yard which was left clean with no residue. Great job"

"They were really great to work with and very accommodating! What we thought was going to be a small job turned into a much larger one once they opened up the frame and we saw the water damage not only to the door but to the joists and floor underneath it! The extensive rot and ants didn't faze them at all. They have us time to think about how we wanted to proceed at each major junction and executed our plan to a T. They were very budget conscious and pleasant to work with. Great communication via text, phone, and face-to-face."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

For a 12x20-foot (240-square-foot) deck, you can expect to pay between $7,200 and $14,400. This cost is based on a general price of $30 to $60 per square foot. The final price will depend on factors such as the decking material, design complexity, deck type, location, and local labor costs. Keep in mind that add-ons will increase the total; for example, adding an under-deck drainage system to a deck of this size could cost an additional $7,700.

Hangers are one way of attaching stair stringers to a deck. These metal hangers are usually adjustable, allowing you to find the ideal angle for a secure installation. They’re the best choice for installing longer staircases, such as one on a two-story deck, to reduce the load on the deck frame while keeping the stairs stable.

Homeowners should build their floating decks at least 18 inches off the ground. Having it at this height will allow for better airflow underneath and help prevent moisture-related problems like warping or rot. That being said, local guidelines for deck heights may vary depending on where you live.

Composite decking is the best material for individuals living with disabilities who want to age in place. The material is anti-slip, which increases safety throughout the year. It’s also highly durable and requires minimal maintenance, so it doesn’t add another item to the individual’s to-do list. It’s also a good option for improving wheelchair accessibility at home, as it can easily manage a wheelchair ramp.

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.
