"Ashley restained our deck and painted the railings and spindles. She also repainted our front door and trim. She goes above and beyond with all of her work. She fixed and filled all the holes and gaps in our deck and weatherproofed it as well. She is knowledgeable and researches products and how to best use them. Ashley has excellent communication. She keeps you updated on the progress of your project every step of the way. She delivers as expected and the quality of her work is outstanding. This is the second project Ashley has worked on in my home and I highly recommend using her. I will definitely call her again in the future."

"I contracted with Hammer Time to install siding, gutters and windows on my mid 80's colonial. The entire experience was excellent from initial contact through the end. My home is fairly large and has unique features which required a great deal of custom work for all of the tradesmen… I am happy to say that they all performed well beyond expectation. We started with siding and gutters; the original wood siding was dated and needed an overhaul… the gutters were a total disaster. Hammer Time replaced where necessary, the decaying wood and relocated the gutters to a more efficient location which helped with functionality as well as aesthetics. Until the first big storm, I never knew just how much water a 6" commercial gutter could move. I am happy to say that after the install, my sump pump rarely runs and I am no longer concerned about drainage when a storm rolls in. A couple of month later, we had approximately 50% of our windows replaced with new high efficiency vinyl replacements. After hearing horror stories from others about how the window replacement process can be, I braced for the worse. The thought of having someone knocking out my windows and exposing my home to the elements just didn’t seem like something that I wanted to go through. Once again, Hammer Time sent their best guys who did full frame tear outs, moved quickly, did a first class job on the install and left zero mess. The carpet was protected, debris removed and even the existing moldings were preserved. The install looks better than what you would find in new construction and I love the noise reduction and efficiencies that have been gained. Bottom line here is that this was money very well spent. I have already talked with them on finishing the remaining windows next year and possibly look at some decking options the following year. You won't go wrong with these guys... a truly great company to work with."

"After Andrew built the ramp and deck extensions off of our existing decks in the spring of 2015, we hired him in May 2016 to clean, seal and stain the decks and ramp. We had concerns about drips and splatter onto the house and areas below the decks. Andrew eased our concerns and assured us he would tarp everything off and put plastic on the house to prevent and splatter and drips. Everything turned out great and there were no drips or splatter! Andrew's communication and professionalism were fantastic throughout all phases of the project. We highly recommend Andrew and his team."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

In general, you need a footing at each corner of your deck, and within 8 feet of each other. So, how many you need depends on the size and shape of your deck, plus any local building codes. It also depends on factors like the load capacity of your soil and the weight of your deck. You can find a footing calculator online or contact a pro for support.

Staining and sealing the underside of a deck creates a moisture barrier but traps water in the boards, quickly leading to rot. No matter how well you seal the above deck, water still gets through via nails and screw heads on the surface. Allow this water to flow naturally under the deck, where it is routed through the drainage system.

There are several methods for attaching stair stringers to a deck. The best way is to bolt the stringers to the deck joists using three carriage bolts in a triangular pattern. This method offers the sturdiest fit for stairs that won’t budge. Alternatively, attach the stringers to the deck rims using lag bolts or to the posts using adjustable slope hangers.

The best material for your deck depends on several factors, including your budget, location, aesthetic preferences, and the level of maintenance you’re willing to do. Wood decking, like redwood, ipe, cedar, and pine, lasts the longest, but it’s more expensive and requires more upkeep than composite and synthetic decking.

If you have wood decking, there are several common deck problems that you might encounter. For example, your natural wood boards may fade over time due to things like sunlight, weather, and debris. On top of that, some types of wood decking can rot, grow mold, and attract destructive pests—including termites, carpenter ants, and woodpeckers.
