It feels like we have added an additional amazing new room to our house!! Linda & Shedrick Berry S. Charlotte"
"Eric came by to give me a quote and it worked for me... And then he said, I got some time right now, and sure enough, he completed my back patio and the entire back deck, front and back, in 30 minutes! I even hired him to come back and retain it! Very courteous,professional and fast!"
"Needed fencing installed to keep groundhogs from taking up residence under our deck. Brady came up with a creative and complete solution that made sure the varmints were out and would not return. Would use again."
"Abel was extremely professional, timely with all the jobs he has done for me (put together a brand new treadmill, repaired drywall and painted). Additionally, he completed other minor tasks like removing a shelf and picking up the materials needed for the job. Excellent price and excellent work. I would definitely recommend using J&A and I will be using them in the future!"
"Chris was very knowledgeable and accommodating. They repaired, cleaned, stained and sealed my deck and it is beautiful!!! I told him a have a long list of projects for them!!"
How long it takes to install composite decking depends on the size of the decking material, the skills of the person installing the deck, the number of people helping, and how much prep work needs to be done before you can begin. Generally speaking, it takes anywhere from a few days to several weeks to build a composite deck.
Both deck footings and deck posts help prop up your deck. However, footings are the bottommost parts of a deck that touch the ground. They’re usually made of concrete. Posts are pieces of wood that attach to the top of the footings with brackets. They run upwards and connect to the underside of your deck to support its weight.
Your deck may pop, and your neighbor’s deck may not for a number of reasons. Whether or not a deck pops will depend on how it was made, the conditions it’s exposed to, and the materials. Improper spacing is a common reason for increased pressure between deck boards. Moisture penetration is another.
Finding a reputable deck builder should start with speaking with a local company and asking for samples of past work and references. You can review the company’s workmanship and speak with past customers to learn what the customer service was like throughout the process. It’s also a good idea to read online reviews and check the Better Business Bureau (BBB) website to see if the company has a history of customer complaints. If you can get a referral from a family member or friend, that’s another great option.
You can add a roof to most decks, but you need to have it inspected first. If your deck didn’t come with a roof initially, it may not be able to handle the weight without some structural changes. You can add additional supports to your existing deck to safely add a roof, and tying your deck’s roof to an exterior wall can help add some structural stability, but remember these aren’t DIY projects and need to be left to a pro.
