"You can stop looking right now. You won't find a more professional, skilled, efficient, focused, hard-working painting team than Ryan and Trudy. They care about their work and it shows. They did out decks this summer and just finished painting most of the interior of our house. We couldn't be more pleased with the results - they did an excellent job (and we're pretty darn picky). Plus, they listen, they follow through, they're meticulous about cleaning up every day, and they're prompt and kind. We already have them booked for two more projects next year."

We originally found Nyboer through a roof inspection deal on Angie's list in 2014.  They were able to setup the inspection within a week or two and really worked with me on my availability.  We had Nyboer back in 2015 to correct some issues on a home inspection report.  They responded quickly and did an outstanding job!  I found their rates to be very reasonable and the workmanship was very good.  The recent projects they worked on was adding additional brackets and supports to our deck, as well as repairing the foundation of our outdoor A/C compressor unit and leveling it. 

Not only was I pleased with the work of this company, but also felt very safe having them in my home and around my children.  Highly recommend.

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

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.

Two coats of stain are ideal for the best protection and aesthetic appeal. However, if your decking is made of particularly dense hardwood, you may only need one coat. If you want an intense color, two coats are ideal.

A deck doesn’t have to be perfectly level. Many pros even recommend a gentle slope to ensure proper drainage and increase longevity. The ideal gentle slope is about 1/8 to 1/4 inch per foot away from the property, leading water away from the home to prevent pooling and reduce the risk of damage. It also minimizes rot, mold, and other moisture-related problems. 

Choosing whether your deck should be lighter or darker than your house is a matter of personal preference, as there is no right or wrong answer. However, considering the pros and cons of each can help guide your decision. Darker colors are often chosen because they show less dirt, footprints, and marks from daily wear, making them easier to keep clean. On the other hand, lighter deck colors tend to stay cooler in the summer. From a design perspective, using a deck color that contrasts with your home's exterior can help make the deck a more defined and distinct feature. Consulting color theory can also make the process of choosing a complementary house and deck color combination easier.

Any wood deck provides some ventilation to the area below, as is the nature of that type of deck design. However, areas that experience excessive humidity and associated moisture benefit greatly from a dedicated ventilation system in the form of strip vents. This addition helps the various wood boards contract and expand evenly throughout the years and reduces the chances of twisting, warping, and buckling.
