"I enjoyed Mark’s polite demeanor and how he showed me unanticipated issues that surfaced based on the original construction of the deck. The repairs were of excellent quality both visible and the under pinning support. I will definitely be calling Mark in the future."

"Brian did a fantastic job. Immediately understood I wanted an easy quick fix. Had two other bids who wanted to do major rework to the deck despite me telling them I just wanted it leveled out as much as we could without it turning into a big job. Was quick and cleaned up after. Good price. Will work with him for all future exterior projects."

"A huge storm damaged most of the siding on just one side of my home. Multiple houses in my area had been damaged so siding companies were coming through and giving free estimates. All of those companies said my siding would need to be replaced. Since they wouldn’t be able to perfectly match the color, they suggested I replace the siding on my entire home. McCoy Exteriors was able to repair my siding at an affordable cost and was able to get it done the same week. I highly recommend this company and am very pleased with the work they’ve done for me."

Deck Repair questions, answered by experts

When installing deck boards, screws are generally a better option than nails. Screws offer superior holding strength over time, keeping the boards securely in place. In contrast, nails are more likely to pop out, which can create a tripping hazard. While you can use either, we recommend using 3-inch galvanized deck screws. To minimize the risk of cracking the wood, it's a good practice to drill small pilot holes before driving the screws into the deck joists.

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.

The proper height for a stair riser or deck step is between four and seven inches, with seven inches often considered the most comfortable. Building your stairs to this height ensures a strain-free step position and minimizes the risk of trip and fall injuries. For optimal safety and comfort, especially on deck stairs, a rise of around seven inches should be paired with a tread depth (or run) of at least 10 to 12 inches. While it is possible to design stairs with risers up to 12 inches, this height can be challenging for children, pets, or individuals with mobility issues. Always check with your local building codes, as they may mandate specific dimensions that differ from these general recommendations.

Decks are generally more expensive to build because they require elevating and railings. The difference between decks and patios is that decks are elevated, while patios are usually on the ground level. Plus, decks are usually made of wood and need more maintenance than most patios. However, decks and patios serve the same purpose, providing outdoor space for you to enjoy.

You can use a few different tactics to prevent your deck gate from sagging. Aside from using strong, rot-resistant woods, introducing a diagonal element—such as a tension rod or solid piece of wood to act as a brace—across the gate will offer better support. You can also use rigid joists to prevent the gate from sagging.
