"Deck Doctor did a fantastic job from start to finish on our project. Calvin came out and met with us, worked with us to determine the best set up for our deck rebuild and got the work scheduled in a timely manner. Calvin was very professional, and truly dedicated to providing top notch service. The crew that came out was absolutely wonderful. You could tell that they truly cared about doing the job correctly. The deck we replaced was falling apart, the new deck not only looks great, but is built solid. I would recommend Deck Doctor to anyone looking for deck repair / rebuild."

"Javier and his crew removed a wood retaining wall in the back and replaced it. They also installed a 5 feet deep 49 feet long garden and backfilled it with planting soil. I called them after the first week to add additional backfill behind and to take the new retaining wall and they responded they would do it within a few days. The summer was dry, so, no additional settling occurred... until late summer when we received a major rainfall. All the voids collapsed and the back of the wall showed significant settling. I sent several emails and called Javier. He said he would be there on Saturday, he never showed. It looks like I am going to purchase my own soil to backfill the settling. I am very unhappy with the lack of customer service, especially since I paid them immodestly, once the job was complete."

"Fantastic! Easy to work with and very professional in their work. Maintained good communication throughout project. Made a suggestion for a more artistic deck (rounded extension versus old irregular extension) which we love. Would recommend without hesitation."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

The proper and most comfortable height for a deck stair riser, also called a step, is between four and seven inches. A height of seven inches is often considered ideal for a strain-free step that minimizes the risk of trips and falls. While it is possible to have risers up to 12 inches, this height can be challenging for children, pets, or individuals with mobility issues. For optimal safety and comfort, pair a seven-inch riser with a tread depth (or run) of at least 10 to 12 inches. Always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements that differ from these general recommendations.

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.

To flatten a cupped deck board, start by ensuring it’s dry. Then, try flipping the board over so the cupped side faces down and reattach it. If that’s not possible, you can use screws to pull it tighter to the joists or plane the edges slightly to reduce the cup. It’s best to replace severely cupped boards.

It is possible to build your own deck, but it’s typically better to leave the work to a decking professional. Decks can be exceptionally complicated, especially if you want a wrap-around or second-story deck, and you don’t want to risk making an expensive or dangerous mistake. It’s usually better to hire a decking pro who can pull permits and build a structurally sound deck that will last for decades and provide the maximum return on investment.

Yes, snow should be removed from a deck to protect it from damage caused by moisture and heavy loads. Shovel the snow off of your deck regularly once it is more than four inches deep. Avoid using salt, which can damage your deck.
