"It was fantastic! Jim was prompt in scheduling the work we needed done (before other interior patio fixes we had scheduled). He and his team did a great job and were very understanding with what work we needed done. They were very thorough, but also worked very efficiently. Didn't take them very long. Great service, great team! We can't wait to utilize our "new" patio!!!"

"DO NOT hire this company. I hate my $13,000 deck!! Worse experience I ever had with a contractor. As a 70 year old woman acting alone, I contracted with Four Seasons to replace a wooden deck with same. A deposit was made for 1/2 in June 2023 with a start date of August. After that date passed with their delays, I requested to cancel. They had my money. I was assured with a new start date and agreed. The deck wasn’t completed until October 2023. The deck has issues. Pieces falling off at screw points, bowing and lifting boards. I emailed them this July with a very nice request for repairs along with photos of my concerns. No demands, no foul language, no hurry. Can you fix this? The phone call I received from Don Stanley was not pleasant. He was argumentative and defensive of the workmanship and wanted to charge for repairs. I did say, “that’s ridiculous”. He claims I was rude and because of that he could but would not replace the board for free. Who does that ? What a childish and immature way to run a business let alone a way for a grown man to act. He then said, “ I’m done’ and hung up. I called back and was threatened. I connected with Mrs. Stanley and was told it costs too much to send someone over and they didn’t have a crew for small jobs. I told her I would pay for the repairs, I pleaded. I just wanted this project done. She hung up. So what is it? Don’s world, Don’s way. No compromise no cordial, let’s make everyone happy. Don never inspected my completed deck. He’s complacent and only interested in the payout. You probably will never get service after the sale. Don Stanley is a miserable man with an angry disposition. Spiteful. He lacks in customer service, customer satisfaction and people skills. Veteran owned. Wow!! My veteran family members are appalled by your business practices. It’s been said, being a veteran doesn’t give you license to be a jerk. The military should be ashamed of you. Look elsewhere for your deck and fence. Read other reviews."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Building codes vary by location, and you should always consult local codes before planning construction. Generally speaking, however, railing requirements stipulate that decks more than 30 inches off the ground need railings for safety purposes. These railings usually need to be at least 36 inches tall, although California and Washington require rails to be 42 inches or taller.

Ipe wood can last up to 75 years with minimal maintenance because its own oils help to preserve it. However, to get the most out of your Ipe wood deck, you should perform some routine maintenance, including regular cleaning, sweeping of leaves and debris, and rinsing spills with a hose. It’s also important to repair any deep scratches as soon as you spot them and reseal the deck annually to protect against scratches and scuffs.

Your deck may look or feel fuzzy after pressure washing because the high-pressure spray tears some wood fibers as it removes the outer layer of dead and discolored wood. This fuzzy effect is a normal part of the pressure-washing process and will go away on its own in a few weeks. You can opt to spot-sand your deck if you’d like to remove it more quickly.

While building your deck, you might come across something called the four-inch sphere rule. Essentially, this railing requirement for a deck states that a four-inch ball should not be able to fit through any gap in the deck railings. The gap between spindles and between the decking and the bottom of the railing must be less than four inches to prevent small children or pets from squeezing through the gap.

If you want to use the space beneath your second-story deck, then yes, an under-deck drainage system is worth it. Having a drainage system in place lets you run power to the area, so you can install a ceiling fan, lighting, TV, or other appliances to create a comfortable outdoor living space.
