"He was professional, on time, did an excellent job staining and waterproofing our deck. He finished the job ahead of time. We have hired people in the past to stain and waterproofing the deck but never been as pleased with the results as we are with the job OKI Home Services has done!"

"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."

"DeckHead, Inc. did a great job in power washing and restoring my composite deck to it's original appearance. Antone and his son did a great job and I plan on having them clean my deck next spring. Ben (owner) priced the job I had done fairly and worked around my schedule. I would recommend DeckHead, Inc."

"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."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

No, termites do not eat Trex or any other composite decking brand. Termites eat cellulose, of which composite decking like Trex contains very little compared to natural wood. This feature can help justify the higher Trex decking costs if you live in an area with abundant termites.

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.

Yes, it is possible to build a small, basic deck for $5,000, particularly if you use less expensive materials and a simple design. To stay within this budget, consider a size under 10x12 feet and use affordable materials like pressure-treated wood or cedar. While the general cost for deck building ranges from $4,350 to $12,560, with an average around $8,200, some projects can be completed for as little as $4,350. You can also save on labor costs by doing the work yourself, but be aware that mistakes could end up costing more than hiring a professional. A contractor may have a higher upfront cost, but they can ensure a safe, stable deck that will last.

Before installing a deck, you must build a base for the deck to rest upon, often made of compacted soil or gravel. While gravel is an optional material, it helps with drainage. Some contractors also recommend installing a weed control membrane, which helps provide a solid foundation for the frame. In the case of an elevated deck, a pro will often lay down a concrete slab as a foundation. 

While eco-friendly decking, also called composite decking, is a win for the environment because it consists of recycled materials, it has trade-offs. These sustainable options often come with steeper price tags, lack natural wood's warm look, and can become uncomfortably hot under full sun. Some composite materials can also become slick when wet, posing a potential hazard.
