"Tripp was amazing. I am very impressed with the quality of his work. I needed my deck power washed, sanded, repaired and stained. He showed up when he said he would be here and he just was a very nice gentlemen. I will definitely be hiring him again to do work at my home, he is a true gem!"

"The day that I filled out the online form on Home Advisor for contractors, I was immediately contacted by Abel of AJs Home repairs. He came over the same day and had a written quote for my deck within 24 hours. He kept in constant contact with me throughout the whole process. The price was very fair, he finished on time, and the work is top notch. There are some wishy washy outfits that are registered on Home Advisor. AJs Home Repairs is probably the most efficient and professional company I've met with to date. I'm a guaranteed repeat customer."

"Denis and his team did an excellent job. Great communication and feedback. They demoed the existing deck and replaced it with a new frame with Trex Decking. The difference is amazing! His employees were courteous and professional."

"Eric called me within minutes of me requesting a quote on HomeAdvisor. He spent 30 minutes on the phone patiently educating me on the best products, as well as the best method to clean and stain a deck that was built 2 years ago, but never protected. He showed up right on time for our scheduled appointment a couple of days after the call and gave me an excellent quote. He cleaned the deck the same day and stained it the very next day. I cannot say enough good things about Piedmont Power Washing, the quality of customer service, or the value received for the amount of work completed. I highly recommend them!!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

An above-ground pool with a deck can increase your home's value by as much as 4% to 7%, but it depends on your local climate, potential buyers, and the size and condition of your pool. Some buyers see a pool as a liability instead of a luxury, especially if it's at the end of its life span. In general, it's best to add a pool and deck to your property if it will bring you enjoyment—not because it raises the value of your home.

In general, you need a footing at each corner of your deck, and within 8 feet of each other. So, how many you need depends on the size and shape of your deck, plus any local building codes. It also depends on factors like the load capacity of your soil and the weight of your deck. You can find a footing calculator online or contact a pro for support.

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.

A deck doesn’t have to be perfectly level. Many pros even recommend a gentle slope to ensure proper drainage and increase longevity. The ideal gentle slope is about 1/8 to 1/4 inch per foot away from the property, leading water away from the home to prevent pooling and reduce the risk of damage. It also minimizes rot, mold, and other moisture-related problems. 

When staining a deck, don’t skip surface prep, avoid staining damp or dirty boards, and don’t apply stain in extreme heat, cold, or wet conditions. Never overload the wood with a stain, as too much can cause tackiness or peeling. Also, don’t forget to test a small area first to ensure the color and finish look right.
