"Greg Mikre did beautiful work. He's a perfectionist. He powered my deck and Patio under the deck. And he stained the deck and everything that he did. Looks like new. He takes pride in everything he does. And he always arrived on time. He cleaned up the area before leaving. I would highly recommend it. This man could get your job done, right."

"I have engaged Tyler on multiple projects and in all of them he was prompt, thorough, and professional. for small simple jobs and more extensive jobs like constructing my deck in my backyard. The project was a complicated large deck 30 ft off the ground with track building materials and cable and rail system and the result was awesome. His prices are reasonable and I am about to seek his service again for two jobs this summer."

"Contractor is courteous, knowledgeable, and trustworthy about refinishing wood decks. They performed their work in an exemplary fashion from the initial cleaning, power washing, sanding, and stain application. They also masked off the house exterior facing the deck. And they made sure I got to fully inspect the results at the end."

"Jesse is a multi-talented and enthusiastic guy who has an excellent work ethic. He installed a new screen door, finished our basement ceiling and caulked our kitchen countertops. He was prompt and efficient. There was a small problem with the caulk job and he returned the very next morning and made the necessary alterations. No excuses, no extra charges, just pure professionalism. Heâ s the kind of guy youâ d love to have as a neighbor!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Deck stairs should have at least three stringers rather than two. The recommended minimum width for stairs is 36 inches, and the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors recommends at least three cut stringers to provide sufficient support on wood decking stairs of this width. Generally, stringers should be a maximum of 16 inches apart for wood decking and 12 inches apart for more flexible composite decking.

The cost to build a second-story deck averages $4,800, though the actual price could range as low as $420 to upwards of $16,000. While labor costs range between 35% and 50% of the total project cost, the materials and complexity of design will ultimately lead you to save or spend more money on this home addition.

Most building codes require that railing spindles (also known as balusters) on decks or stairs be spaced no more than four inches apart. This safety standard is often called the '4-inch sphere rule,' which means a sphere with a 4-inch diameter should not be able to pass through the opening between balusters. This rule is in place to prevent small children and pets from slipping through the railing. For the same reason, the space between the bottom rail and the deck or floor surface should also be no more than four inches. As a general guideline, professionals often install three balusters per foot of railing. However, since specific requirements can vary by location, it is essential to check your local building codes to ensure compliance before starting your project.

There are several methods for attaching stair stringers to a deck. The best way is to bolt the stringers to the deck joists using three carriage bolts in a triangular pattern. This method offers the sturdiest fit for stairs that won’t budge. Alternatively, attach the stringers to the deck rims using lag bolts or to the posts using adjustable slope hangers.

The most likely causes of a deck leaning to one side are damaged deck posts, soil erosion, and inadequate deck footings. If you’re not sure about the exact cause, the best option is to call a contractor who can build a deck to inspect the damage and recommend the best way forward.
