Hello, I am a recently retired educator and coach. I learned building trades from my father as a child and worked with him in construction for 8 years building houses from the ground up including plumbing, wiring, concrete, cabinetry, etc. from framing to finish. I have completed my own additions, remodeling, and repairs for the last 30 years. I'm a detail oriented perfectionist that enjoys working with my hands and providing a quality, reasonably priced service.

"James with Done Right Company is very professional and extremely hard working. James refinished my old tired deck into a vibrant looking deck. James far exceeded my expectations. I expected a cleanup and apply new stain. NOPE! James completely removed all the old stain and sealed the deck with clear sealer. My deck hasn't looked this great in years! James is reliable, courteous, and gets the job done right! He certainly chose the correct name for his company. I could not be more happier with Done Right Company. In these days where it's hard to find someone that will work, James was so refreshing. I would recommend James for any project someone may need. From a very satisfied customer. Craig Johnson"

"I highly recommend Wilson LLC for any deck and fence project. The quality of their work, attention to detail and craftsmanship were excellent. They were professional, hardworking, and took pride in making sure everything was done right. Our deck & fence turned out beautiful and exceeded our expectations! It's refreshing to find a company that truly cares about the quality of its work and customer satisfaction. If you're looking to have a fence or deck built or remodeled, I would definitely recommend Ethan. Thank you for a job well done. We absolutely love our fence and new deck."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

Yes, you can build a pool deck yourself, but it takes precision, a lot of time, and many specific tools. You’ll need to create a deck plan, be careful with measurements, cut each piece of wood, secure the pieces properly, and ensure the deck meets building codes. Building a deck around a pool is a rewarding DIY, but it’s time- and labor-intensive, so thoughtfully consider your abilities and the time you have before embarking on this DIY.

Wood decks need to be replaced every 10 to 15 years on average. Natural wood is highly vulnerable to infiltration and damage from moisture, which can occur rapidly due to exposure to outdoor elements. You can protect your deck and maximize its lifespan by sealing it every year or two.

The “best” material is in the eye of the beholder, as each common decking material boasts its pros and cons. Poured concrete is the best budget-friendly option, but composite wood brings high-grade aesthetics without breaking the bank. Wood is the most traditional material, but it requires more maintenance than some other materials. In other words, do your research before settling on a deck material to find the one that’s best for your pool.

The proper and most comfortable height for a deck stair riser, also called a step, is between four and seven inches. A height of seven inches is often considered ideal for a strain-free step that minimizes the risk of trips and falls. While it is possible to have risers up to 12 inches, this height can be challenging for children, pets, or individuals with mobility issues. For optimal safety and comfort, pair a seven-inch riser with a tread depth (or run) of at least 10 to 12 inches. Always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements that differ from these general recommendations.
