"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

Building a deck without a permit could lead to fines for both the homeowner and the contractor. The exact penalties will depend on your state and municipal building laws. You might also be required to remove the deck and apply for a permit before you can build another. While it might be tempting to skip the permit to save a few bucks, it’ll cost you much more if you’re caught.

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.

Local building codes don’t specify the number of steps a deck can have before a railing is required, mainly because stair height varies widely. Most areas require decks 30 inches or higher to have a railing. While not exact, that roughly equates to four to seven steps.

Whether composite decking is better than wood depends on your priorities, especially regarding budget and maintenance. Composite decking offers superior longevity (30 to 50 years) and durability, and it is low-maintenance, requiring no sanding, staining, or sealing. In contrast, wood decks typically last 10 to 30 years and need refinishing every few years. While the upfront cost of composite is higher than wood, the reduced maintenance can lead to long-term savings. If a lower initial cost is the primary factor, wood is the more affordable choice.

Yes, adding a composite deck, such as one made from Trex, can significantly increase your home's value. It is a valuable home renovation for recouping costs, with some estimates for return on investment (ROI) ranging between 60% and 70%. More recently, Remodeling's 2024 Cost vs. Value Report suggests a deck addition has an ROI of 82.9%, with an average resale value of nearly $14,600. A new deck makes your yard more functional, enhances the landscape's aesthetic, and can entice prospective buyers. The investment may have a higher return if the deck adds usable square footage to the property.
