"Darren completed the work within two days after giving us an estimate and reviewing the materials to be used. He was professional and finished the job in the timeframe anticipated. The porch deck fits beautifully into the design of the house. We are really pleased with the results."

"Shawn came to work on my washing machine that wasn’t operating. When the first repair didn’t fix the problem, he did more research and came back with another part that fixed the problem. I appreciate his communication about scheduling and about ordering necessary parts. I appreciate his commitment to solving the problem. And, I appreciate his work ethic. I would recommend Shawn to anyone in need of handyman type repair."

"G Pinter Construction turned a very rundown challenging outside space into something to make me proud of my home. They took a flat old leaking deck that had been covered with tarps for years, into a water tight grearge roof and private living space. They always showed when they said they were going coming. Very easy to communicate with and respect of my space. I plan on using them for future projects. Only wish I had better before pictures to show you all. Thanks guys!!"

Deck Repair questions, answered by experts

Typically, most residential wooden decks are designed to support approximately 40 pounds per square foot, including the deck’s weight and any items placed on it. While this is fine for typical use, it is usually not enough to hold the weight of a hot tub filled with water and people. To safely support a hot tub, your wood deck will likely require reinforcement. Therefore, it’s best to have a contractor or a structural engineer assess it before hot tub installation.

Floating decks are a cost-effective and versatile option, but they come with some compromises. Since they sit on smaller footings instead of being deeply anchored, they’re more likely to shift over time, especially in areas with heavy rainfall or freeze-thaw conditions. Their low-to-the-ground design makes them more susceptible to moisture buildup and potential water damage.

You do not have to dig footers for a deck as long as it meets local code and holds up to weather in your area. If you live somewhere that experiences high winds and earthquakes, you may need to dig for your deck posts. Deck blocks, post anchors with base plates, and helical pile systems are the three no-dig deck post options you can choose from if local code permits.

Pressure-treated wood contains preservatives that give the material internal protection from rot and pests. Untreated lumber won’t last more than a few years unless you choose a more expensive wood, like cedar, that naturally stands up well to moisture. Composite decking can outlast wood but is more expensive and doesn’t look as natural. Keep in mind that you’ll need to seal any exterior wood product to protect it from the elements and other forms of external damage.

If you want to make a deck cleaner from products already in your home, there are various options. The most common is to use a gentle blend of 1 gallon of warm water and 2 tablespoons of ammonia-free dish soap. You can also mix water with distilled vinegar. Sprinkling on some baking soda can help to remove mold and mildew. You can add oxygen bleach (but never damaging chlorine bleach) to the water and ammonia-free dish soap solution for something a bit stronger.
