"Rusty was incredible to work with and I have been referring him to everyone I know. After searching for a reliable service and requesting quotes, Rusty was the only company that got back to me within the same day of my request, coming out to my home, working around my schedule to provide me a detailed consult which led to expanding services from my gutters to restoring my deck. Rusty and his crew take care to complete the work well and timely, requesting feedback and providing updates along the way. I couldn't be more pleased and will refer to him again for any future projects."

"Jay and Nichole did an outstanding job on my house. Roof Shampoo, siding, stone work, 3 decks, two sets of stairs, driveway and all exterior windows. Jay took extra care of plants, flowers and landscaping to make they were protected. My house is 23 years old and now looks like new again. I couldn't be more pleased and would highly recommend them."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

When sourced responsibly, the most sustainable wood decking options are timber trees like redwood, pine, Douglas fir, Nootka cypress, and Western red cedar. These tree species are fast-growing with low carbon emissions. Plus, most timber woods make durable deck materials because of their resistance to rot and decay over time. 

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. 

Building a deck isn't too hard if you’re handy with carpentry, have the necessary tools, and are willing to put effort into it. However, other factors, such as plans, permits, and design, can be hard if you don’t have experience in those areas.

Note: You’ll need another person to help you build the deck (especially for framing and setting the beams). Building a deck yourself will be very difficult if you don’t have an extra set of hands to help.

While experienced DIYers may take on the challenge, hiring a licensed professional is often the best route, especially for larger or elevated structures. A local deck contractor is typically the best pro for the job, as they have specialized experience and are knowledgeable about local building codes, ensuring your deck is built safely and designed to last. Other professionals who can build a deck include general contractors and carpenters, who may be more readily available in some regions.

Putting lattice under a deck will create a polished look that allows for air ventilation. You can also store items underneath as the lattice provides privacy and protection from the weather. You can also put lattice under a porch to create a polished look in the front of your house.
