"Built to Last Construction was recommended to my husband and me by his brother. They remodeled my bother-in law's kitchen and built him a beautiful deck, which is featured on their website at https://www.b2lconstruction.com. We hired them to remodel our kitchen. It turned out beautiful. Tom even built pull out drawers for my cupboard panty and added a heat vent along the floor. The extra time and detail they took to get it just right was amazing. I recommended them to a friend who is keeping them busy with projects at her home. My friend recommended them to someone else who has had a hard time finding someone to update her deck. She will not be disappointed."

"All the work performed for the coupon was done very well. Doug is a good worker and was quick as well as professional. I did try to book additional work with Terry, the owner, but he did not get back to me with a quote to remove and rebuild two decks along with a landing and 14 stairs. I called him several times, emailed, and texted, but he said he was waiting for quotes from places like Home Depot and Lowe's I believe. Finally we went with another contractor who was able to give us a quote within a day, and completed the work over the next week and a half. By the time Terry contacted me again, four weeks later, our deck was done. Terry said he had an emergency in Florida and was unable to contact us during that time. Having been in customer service for years, it seems to me if you had an emergency, you'd give your open items to someone in your company so that they could call all the customers and explain what happened instead of making them wait in limbo, stupidly thinking you are interested in doing their little project. I notice in an earlier post a few months ago, Terry had another emergency in Florida and did not return phone calls for quite awhile. Before this all happened, Terry was the one we wanted to go with for our decks, but he made it impossible to do so. Even Doug, the worker, asked if I had gotten a quote yet...turns out Doug would have been one of the ones building our deck so he was looking forward to the work.

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Always sand a deck before repainting so the wood is smooth and ready for paint. While you do not need to fully remove paint before repainting, sanding helps remove any areas with weather and sun damage. Sanding also helps remove chipped or flaking paint and opens the wood pores to improve paint adhesion.

Because adding a deck will yield a higher property value, you may have higher insurance costs. It’s important to follow the codes and regulations set by your local and state governments, so your insurance rates can be properly calculated. You may need an insurance revaluation after your deck is completed. The best course of action is to speak with an insurance professional to understand how adding a deck will impact your home’s insurance costs before you begin.

A random orbital sander is best for sanding a deck because it is easier to handle than other power sanders and is less likely to damage the wood. Most decks are made of types of softwood, so a gentler sanding process is essential to prevent permanent blemishes. For example, belt sanders can gouge softwoods.

You typically don’t need a railing and handrails on a deck that’s less than 30 inches from the ground. However, consider adding them regardless. Railings provide additional safety for you and your guests who use your deck—plus, railings give the deck a more finished look than it would have without them.

While you can use various materials like sand or even just soil, gravel is widely considered the best option to put under a deck. It provides excellent drainage and is resistant to water, fire, and pests. Gravel also helps anchor the soil to prevent erosion during heavy rain and acts as a built-in weed blocker, reducing regular upkeep. Furthermore, it is simple to spread, available in various textures and tones, and adds a polished look that complements any deck design.
