Q: What maintenance is necessary for new decks?

• <div><p>Routine cleaning, sealing/staining, and inspection prolong deck life and appearance.</p></div>

Q: How do I find a reputable deck builder?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-hire-deck-building-contractor.htm">Finding a reputable deck builder</a> should start with speaking with a local company and asking for samples of past work and references. You can review the company&rsquo;s workmanship and speak with past customers to learn what the customer service was like throughout the process. It&rsquo;s also a good idea to read online reviews and check the Better Business Bureau (BBB) website to see if the company has a history of customer complaints. If you can get a referral from a family member or friend, that&rsquo;s another great option.</p></div>

Q: How many coats of stain on a deck?

• <div><p>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. </p></div>

Q: How do I flatten a cupped deck board?

• <div><p>To flatten a cupped deck board, start by ensuring it&rsquo;s dry. Then, try flipping the board over so the cupped side faces down and reattach it. If that&rsquo;s not possible, you can use screws to pull it tighter to the joists or plane the edges slightly to reduce the cup. It&rsquo;s best to replace severely cupped boards.</p></div>

Q: Do you nail or screw composite decking?

• <div><p>You can nail or screw composite decking, but 3-inch decking screws are the better fastener choice. Unlike nails, decking screws won&rsquo;t back out of the composite material over time. There&rsquo;s also little danger of splitting composite material when driving screws, so you don&rsquo;t need to pre-drill holes unless otherwise recommended by your decking manufacturer. </p></div>
