"They were very professional and did quality work. When Tony and his crew finished all of the trees and any branches were gone. My yard is in great shape now. Everything I was told that would be cut was above what I expected. I would recommend Premier Tree Service to anyone wanting a tree remove."

"TM was great! He was efficient and hard working. He asked questions when it came to design or anything that came up during the project. Walked us through what he was seeing and gave us recommendations based on our overall goal of stabilizing the deck."

"Eldridge and his team were fantastic. From my first call with Eldridge, he was responsive, helpful, clear, and reliable. I loved that he and his team leader, Mike, helped me choose the colors that were going to make me happiest long-term. Their aesthetic sense is impeccable--they've been doing this a long time! The team showed up on time, worked efficiently, and were truly delightful to be around. They moved the furniture off of our deck and were super nice about it! The team made minor repairs as part of the work, and Eldridge has been attentive in following up about the items that were beyond the scope of the work we hired him to do. I would definitely hire them again. Their expertise and professionalism, plus just being nice to have around, were worth at least what we paid!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Whether you need a permit depends on the deck design and local regulations. Most areas mandate a building permit if the deck is over a specific height or if it's attached to a pre-existing structure. Shorter, freestanding decks may not require a permit, but you should check with local zoning ordinances and your homeowners association for specifics.

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. 

Both aluminum and composite decking materials are environmentally friendly, with aluminum decking coming in as the most eco-friendly option. 

Though composite decking helps remove plastics from landfills, recycles wood, and lasts longer than traditional wood decks, it’s not recyclable and only lasts for 25 to 30 years on average. Aluminum can last well over 30 years and is almost always recyclable.

Covering your deck with a breathable tarp can protect it from snow, ice, and cold winter temperatures. This is a good winterizing solution if you don’t plan to use your deck at all during the colder months. However, it might be best to skip the tarp if you’ll still be walking on your deck or using it in a limited capacity.

Deck skirting shouldn’t touch the ground, especially if you have a wood deck, which is vulnerable to moisture. Ideally, you should leave at least 3/4 of an inch of space between the deck skirting and the ground for more ventilation. Pros also recommend that you incorporate about 1 square foot of space for ventilation for the underside of the deck to every 150 square feet of decking. Proper ventilation prevents mold growth and rot that can damage your deck.
