"The estimate was completed within the time stated by Brad. When Brad arrived we inspected the deck and he understood what needed to be fixed. SKM provided a fair quote and we agreed on the start date. The employee, Damián did an outstanding job of repairing the deck and also rebuilding the steps. He also painted the deck and new steps. He is an excellent worker and communicator. I would definitely hire SKM again and would ask to have Damian do the work."

"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."

"I input a rating of 5 stars only because the system wouldn't let me give a higher rating. Mark hit the ground running to completely remove and replace my aging deck stairs and railings, remove and install a new kitchen faucet. He also installed a new outdoor faucet as well as repair a 2 story downspout. Just so you know, quite a bit of this was completed in the rain and done with amazing expertise. My wife will certainly be finding new projects so we can hire The Fix It Friends again! See you soon, Mark."

"We had a wonderful experience with the whole team at In and Out Floors. From the sales person, to the install team that completed our large hardwood flooring project, we could not be happier. They were a pleasure to do business with. They cleaned up everything and I would recommend them highly."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Be careful when choosing a product to help you remove ice from your wood deck. Never use sand, gravel, or salt, since these items can damage and scratch the wood. Instead, look for chemical de-icers that are marked as safe for wood decks or use hot water to melt snow and ice.

Composite decking is the best material for individuals living with disabilities who want to age in place. The material is anti-slip, which increases safety throughout the year. It’s also highly durable and requires minimal maintenance, so it doesn’t add another item to the individual’s to-do list. It’s also a good option for improving wheelchair accessibility at home, as it can easily manage a wheelchair ramp.

Yes, Ipe is more expensive than Trex decking—both in terms of materials and installation (plus, Ipe trees are endangered). On average, Ipe decking costs $10 to $25 per square foot, while Trex decking costs $5 to $12 per square foot. Because Ipe is harder to work with, the price of installation is higher, too. For Ipe decking, you’ll pay between $20 and $45 per square foot for labor. However, with Trex decking, the labor costs range from $8 to $22 per square foot.

Building codes for deck railings can vary by location, so it's important to consult your local regulations before construction. Generally, a guardrail is required for any deck that is more than 30 inches above the ground.

For residential properties, the standard minimum height for a deck railing is 36 inches. However, some states and municipalities have stricter requirements; for example, California and Washington mandate railings that are at least 42 inches high. Therefore, a 42-inch railing is not considered too high and may be required in your area or chosen voluntarily for additional safety.

In addition to height requirements, codes also specify other safety features, such as the maximum spacing between balusters to ensure they are close enough to prevent a child from squeezing through.

Both composite and PVC decking are excellent alternatives to wood. However, while composite is moderately priced and lasts around 30 years, PVC costs more and lasts longer. PVC is also more durable, though both materials are more durable than wood decking. Ultimately, the choice between composite and PVC decking will come down to your budget and preferences.
