"Nathan did an excellent job redoing my deck and porch. In addition, he painted all my shutters. He was thorough and responsible during power washing, repairs and painting. He did all work while we were away and communicated very well and provided many photos of his work. He discovered a propane gas leak and advised me right away as well as going back to shut the propane off. I highly recommend Nathan!"

"Mauricio actually showed up a day earlier than we had previously expected due to weather conditions. He and his crew did an outstanding job and had to rescedule for the following day due to certain circumstances to complete the job. I highly recommend him for his absolutely flaws timing and impeccable work. It is rare to find someone who shows his level of dedication and honest effort in honoring the true meaning of a job well done. He is to be commended for his absolute dedication to an honest and straightforward manner of doing business. I also need some additional work done on the the property and he gave a very fair estimate of posisble future work. I highly recommend him for any job."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

Building a deck isn't too hard if you’re handy with carpentry, have the necessary tools, and are willing to put effort into it. However, other factors, such as plans, permits, and design, can be hard if you don’t have experience in those areas.

Note: You’ll need another person to help you build the deck (especially for framing and setting the beams). Building a deck yourself will be very difficult if you don’t have an extra set of hands to help.

You can use a few different tactics to prevent your deck gate from sagging. Aside from using strong, rot-resistant woods, introducing a diagonal element—such as a tension rod or solid piece of wood to act as a brace—across the gate will offer better support. You can also use rigid joists to prevent the gate from sagging.
