"I hired this company based on the incredible reviews and was not disappointed. Fantastic job cleaning a very steep, badly mildew stained dark shingle roof. Looks like new! Fair price made me even happier. I'll definitely call them again when I need anything done on the exterior."

"Hire this company. If you have lived in Brunswick or New Hanover County for long you know how difficult it can be hiring anyone reputable and reasonable. These guys are the real deal. The insulation went flawlessly fast. I did my research on what was needed and I got exactly what I paid for. They solved a perplexing electrical issue. The night after installation my kitchen lights stopped working. They came back the next day and after hours of going through attic and switchâ s discovered that a security light on the far right pergola had gone bad. I had another one just in case. They put it up for me. No they didnâ t charge me. They said give them a good review. This is it. I am a veteran and I call it like I see it. Hire these guys. I am already finding more work for them."

"Chris was very professional he did many projects for us, painted a shed leveled some land, dug up some Earth, moved a lots of rock and removed mulch. He did whatever we needed him to do and even gave us good suggestions , that were better than we planned. He was very hardworking and had a very pleasant attitude. We were always very pleased with his work and he always kept things very clean. We are hoping to get him to do other projects in the future!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

As with patios, there are many types of deck choices to choose from to add personalization to your home. Some common deck options include:

  • Attached decks are anchored to the home and include simple ground-level options or multi-level structures with stairways and separate landings. 

  • Detached island decks are not attached to the home; they’re a freestanding structure in the yard. 

  • Wraparound decks connect the back of the house with at least one other side and often are built with railings for safety. 

  • Multi-level decks connect your deck through varying levels of elevation, featuring landings that are attached to stairs.

Before installing any materials under the deck for removing moisture, you should perform some prep work on the ground. Work the dirt under the deck to create a grade away from the home. A grade of at least six inches for every 10 feet works well. Do not leave a gap between the dirt and the home’s foundation where water could pool. Once you or a contractor regrades the dirt under the deck, you then can add materials over the top.

Choosing whether your deck should be lighter or darker than your house is a matter of personal preference, as there is no right or wrong answer. However, considering the pros and cons of each can help guide your decision. Darker colors are often chosen because they show less dirt, footprints, and marks from daily wear, making them easier to keep clean. On the other hand, lighter deck colors tend to stay cooler in the summer. From a design perspective, using a deck color that contrasts with your home's exterior can help make the deck a more defined and distinct feature. Consulting color theory can also make the process of choosing a complementary house and deck color combination easier.

For the best results, stay off of your deck for at least 48 hours after sealing it. Giving the sealant at least two full days to cure ensures it can fully penetrate the wood, giving you the most protection from sun and weather damage later on. Walking on the deck too soon can prevent it from properly curing and cause your deck to weather prematurely.

Footings for ground-level decks need to be at least 12 inches deep, and some areas require them to be even deeper. A standard range for deck footings is anywhere from 12 to 48 inches. The minimum footing depth is determined by an area’s frost line and soil conditions. If you’re unsure how deep to install deck footings, check local building codes to find the minimum footing depth in your area.
